Vitamin K2-MK7 120mcg

It’s vitamin K2 that directs calcium to where it’s supposed to go—instead of where it doesn’t belong. Since K2 appears to keep calcium from depositing in soft tissues, it may have a protective role against coronary artery disease by helping maintain arterial flexibility.

Heart disease, bone fractures, pain and cognitive decline don’t have to be part of the aging process. These preventable conditions are all associated with dysregulated calcification—in other words, calcium deposition in places where it shouldn’t be happening, instead of where it should. When calcium is deposited into the arteries and joints instead of into the bones, it can trigger the development and/or exacerbate chronic disease, reducing quality of life. For these reasons, vitamin K2 supplementation can be a valuable part of any lifestyle.

Is your diet a reliable source of vitamin K2? Generally, the vitamin K in foods is poorly absorbed, with the small amount that’s absorbed being rapidly metabolized and excreted by the body. This necessitates replenishment every few hours to maintain blood levels.

Add to this the fact that vitamin K2 is present in foods in very small amounts, as the inferior MK-4 form, and in just a few obscure foods. For example, while it’s true that vitamin K2 is found in certain fermented soy-based foods as the preferred MK-7 form, availability and use of these products in North America is modest at best. Plus, soy allergy/intolerance is increasingly common.

Combine all these facts and it becomes obvious that supplementation of Pure Lab Vitamins K2 - MK7 is the better way to ensure consistent blood levels of vitamin K2.

Why is Pure Lab Vitamins K2 - MK7, not MK4? Research shows that compared to the MK4 form used in some vitamin K2 supplements, MK7 is the most bioavailable. That’s why Pure Lab Vitamins K2 - MK7 consists exclusively of dry form MK7—the most efficiently absorbed, stable form of vitamin K2. It is double micro-encapsulated using a unique process that ensures compatibility with food and supplementary doses of minerals and a long shelf-life.

Our MK7 is dry form, long-lasting, soy-free, and extracted from rose and geranium oils.

Why is Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 ‘soy-free’?

Answer: Many individuals report intolerance to products made from soy. The soy used in the manufacturing of some vitamin K2 supplements may also be genetically modified.

What is Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 sourced from?

Answer: Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 is derived from the oils of geranium and rose flowers, following a patented Norwegian process, manufactured in Germany.

What is ‘double micro-encapsulation’ and why is Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 double micro-encapsulated?

Answer: Studies show that vitamin K2 MK7 degrades easily in the digestive tract when minerals are present. Double micro-encapsulating our vitamin K2 MK7 improves the stability and bioavailability of Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 so that it can be taken with or without calcium and other minerals without compromising it.

If Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 is ‘double micro-encapsulated’, why can’t I see the extra capsule?

Answer: as the word ‘micro-encapsulation’ suggests, the encapsulation is so small it cannot be seen without a microscope. Each particle of Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 within the capsules is specially protected via a patented process to produce K2VITAL DELTATM brand Vitamin K2 MK7.

Other brands have the K2VITALTM logo on their product as well. Is this the same as the K2 VITAL DELTATM used in Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7?

Answer: No, K2 VITALTM and K2 VITAL DELTATM are not equal. While they are both patented forms of soy-free vitamin K2 MK7, only K2 VITAL DELTATM is double-microencapsulated, designed to be compatible with calcium-containing foods and supplements. For this reason, Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 can be taken at any time.

Why does Pure Lab’s Vitamin K2 MK7 not contain MK4 variety of vitamin K2?

Answer: Studies demonstrate that Vitamin K2 MK4 is not as bioavailable to the body as MK7. Another reason is that vitamin K2 MK4 is sourced from natto, a soy product. Meanwhile, our Vitamin K2 MK7 is soy-free and is maintained in the bloodstream for much longer than MK4. Only the MK7 form shows promise to actually reduce already existing plaque inside the cardio-vascular system.
