Doctor’s Best – Natural Vitamin K2 MK7 with MenaQ7
What is Doctor’s Best Natural Vitamin K2 MK7 with MenaQ7?
Doctors Best Natural Vitamin K2 MK7 with MenaQ7 supports bone health and soft tissue elasticity and supports calcium metabolism for maintenance of healthy bone. It uses pure MenaQ7, the superior form of vitamin K for optimum bioavailability. MenaQ7 is purified from fermented chickpeas which are naturally rich in vitamin K2. K2 belongs to a group of vitamin K compounds called menaquinones, which show greater bioactivity when compared to K1, the ordinary supplemental form. K2 is absorbed more completely, remains in the body longer and delivers more benefits for bones, blood vessels and other soft tissues.
How does it work?
Vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin, is primarily known for its role in regulating blood coagulation. Vitamin K exists in two major forms: phylloquinone and the menaquinones. Phylloquinone, designated as vitamin K1, is the major dietary form in food. Menaquinones are designated as vitamin K2 and are named MK-7, MK-8 and MK9, according to the length of structurally related molecular side chains attached to the parent molecule. Fermented foods contain substantial amounts of K2 and MK-7 is the primary menaquinone found in fermented foods. MK-7 contributes to optimum vitamin K storage in the body, and functions more effectively as a co-factor for the activation of osteocalcin which is critical for bone strength. A large-scale study on vitamin K intakes among 5,000 Dutch persons suggests that vitamin K2 may help maintain healthy blood vessels. Compared to those in the low vitamin K2/menaquinone group, subjects at the highest consumption level of vitamin K2 had substantially superior heart health. Similar associations were not seen for vitamin K1.

Item was received within a week of ordering. I haven’t tried it long enough that I can’t comment on its benefits or quality yet. The list of ingredients is informative. The pill size is like a usual capsule. There is no taste in it. No comment on dosage either.

Take it daily with vitamin D-3. According to research, vitamin D3 with vitamin K2 helps ensure that the calcium carried by vitamin D is absorbed by your bones where it is needed. It is a very good size and the soft gels are small enough to be ingested easily. It also contains the most effective form of vitamin K-2 (i.e. menaquinone-7), which is a big plus. If you have issues with vascular health, cataracts, joint health, systemic inflammation, K2 will be a valuable vitamin to consider adding to your health protocol. This will help decalcify and redirect Ca from the tissues and joints to the bone matrix where it should be.

love the fast shipping, I received my vitamins in 4 days. When I received them the packaging was good, no damage to the box or the vitamins. The size of the vitamin is normal, it is a transparent soft capsule. I love that the ingredients are all natural and no synthetic ingredients.

I take the K vitamin along with vitamin D3 before bed (better absorption) three times a week as my vitamin D level is good now. I’ll know in 20 years if it worked and put the D/K where it is needed in bone.

If you are sensitive to the higher doses of Vitamin K out there, this 45mcg dosage level is perfect. There is enough K in this to ensure proper calcium absorption without the side effects.

decided to go with Doctor’s Best Vitamin K2 because they use one of the best sources of Vitamin K2 which comes from MenaQ7, Norway. MenaQ7® is the first and most clinically validated vitamin K2 as MK-7 (menaquinone-7) available today for bone and cardiovascular health, and patented for cardiovascular health. The Rotterdam study (2004) shows that a high dietary intake of vitamin K2 – but not vitamin K1 – has a strong protective effect on cardiovascular health. Results from this 10-year population study, which followed 4,807 initially healthy men and women over the age of 55, indicate that consuming foods high in natural vitamin K2 (at least 32 mcg/day) leads to a 50% reduction in arterial calcification, 50% reduction in cardiovascular risk and 25% reduction in all-cause mortality. I will take it long term and have a health screening test every year to check for improvement.

It is difficult to find vitamin K2 that is in an appropriate strength for adults. If I understand correctly, adults should take at least 100 mcg of K2MK7 with a dose of a soft gel daily. This ingredient has fulfilled the minimum level required by our body. The soft gel is very small in size, odorless and tasteless, so it is easy to swallow.

Vitamin K2-mk7 has a much better half-life than vitamin k2-mk4. It is therefore the preferred version of vitamin k2 for people. The pill comes in capsule form which is tiny and easy to swallow. Also, I didn’t want to take a high or low dose of vitamin K2. So, at 45 mcg per capsule, it’s the ideal dose for me. Since I started taking vitamin K2, I no longer start huffing during or after exercise. My exercise endurance has multiplied. I love it.

This is my first time using this brand and as you know the use of vitamins will not show so quickly. The size is regular and I think the dosage is correct. The bones will benefit from this vitamin. It has no taste and seems of good quality. Can’t say much about the ingredients
