Vitamin K2 for Bone Health
Supporting Strong Bones at Every Stage of Life
Vitamin K2, particularly in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), plays a critical role in maintaining bone health. It supports the activation of proteins that help bind calcium to the bone matrix, contributing to bone strength, structure, and density.1
Emerging Science: Probiotics and K2 in Bone Health
A recent preclinical study (Santos et al., 2025) 5 investigated the combined effects of Vitamin K2 (MK-7) and the probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri in a model of postmenopausal bone loss. The study found that:
- The combination significantly improved femur stiffness and elastic modulus
- Cortical bone volume and thickness were restored to levels seen in healthy controls
- Trabecular bone microarchitecture showed positive trends
- The combined treatment outperformed either intervention alone, suggesting a synergistic effect
These findings highlight the potential of combining K2 with targeted probiotics to support bone health in aging populations. 5
Clinically Supported Benefits of Vitamin K2 (MK-7)
- Supports Bone Strength: Clinical studies show that Vitamin K2 (MK-7) helps maintain healthy bone mass and structure, particularly in postmenopausal women.6
- Enhances Bone Mineral Density: Higher vitamin K intake is linked to increased bone mineral density and stronger bones.1
- Activates Key Bone Proteins: Vitamin K2 support the function of proteins involved in bone metabolism.1
- Promotes Healthy Aging: Vitamin K2 helps maintain bone health as we age by supporting the function of proteins involved in bone metabolism.4
Our Commitment to Bone Health
We offer high-quality, science-backed Vitamin K2 (MK-7) in the form of K2VITAL™ and K2VITAL™ DELTA.
These solutions are ideal for use in dietary supplements, functional foods, and other health-focused formulations. K2VITAL™ DELTA, a microencapsulated form of K2, is especially well-suited for combination products, helping to maintain stability when paired with minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Together, these nutrients play a critical role in supporting bone strength and overall skeletal health.
