Overview
Vitamin K2 (MK7, Menaquinone-7) is a fat-soluble vitamin and an important active form of vitamin K. Produced via fermentation with Bacillus subtilis natto, it features high bioavailability and a long half-life.
Its core function is regulating calcium metabolism, guiding directed calcium deposition and inhibiting abnormal calcification, serving as a key nutrient for bone and cardiovascular health, and widely used in dietary supplements.

Process Advantages
By employing innovative double encapsulated technology, the light-sensitive and unstable active ingredients of Vitamin K2 are effectively protected, resulting in improved stability.
Double-encapsulated powder of vitamin K2 improves its water solubility and release characteristics while preserving its bioactivity.
The specifications of double-encapsulated powder of vitamin K2 are adjustable, allowing for controlled particle sizes and excellent flowability.
Overall Advantages
Advanced production process
Produced by microbial fermentation, the proportion of all-trans components is more than 99%, which is far superior to synthetic method.
(The proportion of all-trans components in synthetic method is less than 50%)

Introducing calcium into the bone
Vitamin K2 is an endogenous, fat-soluble vitamin that plays a role in controlling bone growth and aging. It works by activating matrix Gla protein (MGP) and osteocalcin, which helps transport calcium ions from the blood to the bones, aiding in proper bone mineralization and promoting bone formation. In addition to increasing bone density, it can also improve vascular calcification.
Combating cancer
Two clinical studies have indicated that vitamin K2 can reduce the recurrence rate of liver cancer and prolong survival time. Furthermore, an observational study involving 11,000 men found that high intake of vitamin K2 was associated with a 63% reduced risk of developing advanced prostate cancer, whereas vitamin K1 had no effect.
Protecting against cardiovascular disease
A 2015 clinical study demonstrated that daily intake of 180 μg of vitamin K2 (MK-7) reduces arterial stiffness (increases vascular elasticity), reverses arterial calcification, and thereby contributes to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Fortifying the teeth
Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin to stimulate new dental tissue growth for stronger teeth. It also prevents periodontal ligament calcification—an early sign of gum disease—by activating matrix Gla protein.
Thus, vitamin K2 benefits both teeth and gums, offering comprehensive dental protection.
