Life Extension – Super K
Two Forms of K2 Plus K1
Vitamin K helps maintain your body’s calcium balance, which affects everything from arterial health to bone density. But it’s hard to get sufficient vitamin K from food. So if you’re trying to maintain bone or arterial health, a vitamin K supplement is a good idea.
Benefits at a Glance:
Promotes bone health by facilitating the transfer of calcium into your bones
Supports vascular health by helping to maintain calcium balance in your arteries
Includes the three kinds of vitamin K commonly found in green veggies, cheeses and meats
More facts about Super K
Super K provides THREE kinds of vitamin K: vitamin K1 and two unique forms of K2, menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7). So taking Super K every day is a good way to make sure you’re getting enough of this essential nutrient for bone and vascular heath.
Bone and arterial health
Vitamin K helps maintain bone density by facilitating the transport of calcium into your bones. Vitamin K also supports normal function of a protein called matrix Gla-protein (MGP).2 MGP helps regulate how calcium interacts with your arterial walls. So in addition to facilitating calcium transport into bone, vitamin K helps promote a healthy calcium balance in your arteries as well.
Clinically studied health benefits
The Rotterdam Heart Study is a large-scale clinical study. One report from this study involved 4,800 subjects tracked for seven years. It revealed that people who consume more dietary K2 have healthier cardiovascular systems compared with people who consume lower amounts.
Multiple studies have shown vitamin K’s value to maintaining arterial health. And vitamin K supplementation is a good way to support healthy bone strength and bone density.
Vitamin K1
The most common form of vitamin K, known as K1, is tightly bound to plant cells in leafy green vegetables. Not only do many people not enjoy these vegetables, but vitamin K from these sources may be poorly absorbed.
Vitamin K2
In contrast, vitamin K2, which is found in small amounts in cheese, egg yolks and some meats, has been found to be up to 6 times more bioavailable than K1, and to remain active in the body for a longer period of time.
The MK-4 form of K2 has been shown to be rapidly absorbed, but to only last in the bloodstream for a short time. MK-7, on the other hand, was demonstrated to stay available in the body for up to 48 hours, and at much higher levels. And our MK-7 is made from a unique bio-fermentation process.

have been taking vitamin K for many years, with some interruptions. During this time I had several toothaches and the vitamin K recovery disappeared each time! I take extra Vitamin D3 and Magnesium Bisglycinate as well as Vitamin A and E. I switched to Life Extension Super Vitamin K a few months ago because I liked that it also contains menaquinone-7 trans. Admittedly, it is in very small quantities, but that is understandable since it is much more expensive than the other two forms it contains. My other consideration is that it has no additives, unlike many other (Life Extension) products (also). I really liked this product because it’s small, easy to swallow, and because I much prefer soft gelatin capsules to cellulose sachets, often with added silica and magnesium stearate. Additionally, liquid supplements have a much better biological utilization than those in the form of capsules or powdered tablets in general. They are also very good value for money. I’ve already filled it up.

Vitamin K2 (not only or only vitamin K1), minimum about 180 to 360 micrograms (ug) per day, after breakfast. Important: Ideally full-spectrum vitamin K2, containing one or more menaquinones (e.g. MK-4, MK-7, MK-9, etc.). Always combine vitamin K with vitamin D supplements. These two substances work synergistically. If you are taking blood thinners (blood thinners), contact your healthcare professional first before taking vitamin K.

Extremely important vitamin for the proper management of calcium in the body. Also very important in vitamin D3 supplementation. The enormous benefit of vitamin K from various origins. Small packaging but can hold up to 90 capsules. Probably vitamin K with the broadest spectrum of action. Good quality for a fairly high price, but so great vitamin K, no other manufacturer has it.

This is a higher dose of vitamin K which can be helpful for heart condition and gets calcium into your bones instead of your arteries – which isn’t where you want it. Always read the label for warnings etc. Do not take if you are taking blood thinners. It’s good to be educated.

At first I wasn’t sure if it worked after I stopped taking them I noticed the difference. Personally, I took them for an autoimmune disease that I have. I also think they contributed to better energy levels. Not like super energy or anything, but I was able to sustain more physical activity before I got tired.

This product was purchased in hopes of reducing my bruising. It was successful! It’s that simple. I get bruises when I don’t take this vitamin K complex and my legs collide with anything. I don’t get bruises when I take this vitamin K complex and I come across something. This is one of the few vitamins/supplements that I have noticed a direct and immediate benefit from. I now use this vitamin on a regular basis.

One if the best of the best vitamin complexes out there. The dosage is good to take daily and the ingredients are of very high quality. The Softgel size is also very easy to take. It should benefit my health with vitamin d3 and magnesium. Also offered by one of the most reputable brands.

have a low level of vitamin D3 according to the analysis. This complex I order not for the first time, I take a dose of 10,000 units with D3. Repeated scans showed a noticeable increase in D3 level, I continue to take D3 with Super K complex.

The vitamin is extremely important for proper calcium management in the body. Also very important in vitamin D3 supplementation. A huge benefit of vitamin K from various sources. A small package but can hold up to 90 capsules. Probably vitamin K with the broadest spectrum of action. Good quality for quite an excessive value, but no other manufacturer has such vitamin K.
