Real Food Vitamin K2 – 200mcg – 30 softgels

We all need a good supply of vitamin K to stay healthy, but it’s important to remember that not all vitamin K is the same. In fact, vitamin K is actually a group of several related compounds, classified into two main types, K-1 and K-2. Vitamin K-1 is often called the “plant form” of the vitamin, as it is found primarily in green leafy vegetables. Vitamin K-2 (menaquinone) is the main storage form of the vitamin in animals, and is the most biologically active form in human physiology.

Out of thirteen different subtypes of vitamin K-2 that have been identified, menaquinone-7 has shown great promise for promoting bone strength and cardiovascular health, thanks to its role in regulating calcium transport. Menaquinone-7 is found in many foods, including aged cheeses, liver and eggs, but the richest source by far is natto, a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. Swanson Ultra Maximum Strength Vitamin K2 is our highest potency K-2 supplement ever, derived from natto made from exclusively from non-GMO soybeans.
