Vitamin K is an essential vitamin for cardiovascular, bone, and liver health. Vitamin K2 is more effective than vitamin K1, the form found in plants, for these specific health effects. There are two effective and common forms of vitamin K2: MK-4 and MK-7. While MK-4 is the active form of vitamin K2 used by the body and has been clinically used in Japan for decades with good results, MK-7 has also been shown to yield good results at low doses due to its prolonged release.

The most popular, though recently highlighted, use of vitamin K2 is for bone health. Vitamin K, like vitamin D, is essential for proper calcium absorption and utilization in the bones. Vitamin K2 also stimulates the synthesis of proteins that regulate bone growth and has been shown to reduce the incidence of osteoporotic fractures and improve bone quality.

Vitamin K2 may also be useful for individuals at risk of deficiency, such as those with a family history of osteoporosis.
