Vitamin K2 MK-7 (Menaquinone-7) 90 mcg offers economical, targeted support for vitamin K needs involved in bone mineral handling.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality100

MK-7 is a favorable, clearly identified vitamin K form. The single source makes the preparation straightforward to compare.

Ingredient Transparency100

The active vitamin K amount and MK-7 form are clearly disclosed. You can compare the serving directly with other vitamin K supplements.

Value For Money100

The MK-7 serving offers favorable value. Its simple formula makes the cost comparison straightforward.

Customer Satisfaction80

Customer feedback is very positive. The smaller review base makes the satisfaction picture less established than a heavily reviewed option.

Product Focus69

The formula targets vitamin K needs, with limited findings for bone density and selected blood-vessel stiffness measures. The 90 mcg serving is below a favorable long-term trial’s daily amount, so the same result cannot be assumed.

Vitamin K · 90 mcg

MK-7 supports activation of proteins involved in bone mineral handling. MenaQ7 identifies the MK-7 form, and this serving declares 90 mcg of active vitamin K. Limited trials in postmenopausal women have mixed bone-density findings, with one favorable trial using 180 mcg daily for three years. This smaller serving cannot be assumed to reproduce that result, and general fracture prevention is not established.

How this product is rated for Bone Health

Ingredient fit76

The single declared MK-7 ingredient gives the product a focused bone-protein role.
Goal fit
The product focuses on MK-7, with no unrelated actives diluting its relevant ingredient contribution.
Dose adequacy
The 90 mcg serving is below the 180 mcg daily exposure in the favorable long-term trial.

Pathways40

Bone-protein activation is its sole substantially represented function.
Depth
MK-7 supplies the bone-protein activation contribution.
Breadth
Only bone-protein activation is substantially represented; mineral supply and calcium absorption are not covered.

Evidence98

The relevant evidence concerns MK-7 in postmenopausal women, with mixed bone-density findings.
Evidence strength
MK-7 provides the relevant but limited and mixed bone-density evidence.
Studied preparation
MenaQ7 establishes MK-7 identity; it does not imply a branded efficacy advantage.

Formulation logic100

The MK-7 serving is recognized without an unmet partner requirement or configured conflict.
Partner coverage
MK-7 has no unmet partner requirement in the supplied findings.
Conflicts
No configured conflict was identified; the high-vitamin-D condition is inapplicable because vitamin D is absent.
Effective doses
The MK-7 serving meets the amount threshold used for inclusion.

Vitamin K · 90 mcg

MenaQ7 vitamin K2 supplies MK-7, which has limited evidence for improving selected measures of arterial stiffness, mainly in postmenopausal women with greater starting stiffness. The 90 mcg serving is below the 180 mcg daily exposure used in the longer trial. These findings do not establish prevention of heart attacks or a general advantage for all vitamin K2 products.

How this product is rated for Heart Health

Ingredient fit72

MK-7 provides the product's focused connection to heart health. The declared MK-7 amount makes a partial contribution relative to the comparison amounts.
Goal fit
MK-7 provides the product's focused connection to heart health.
Dose adequacy
The declared MK-7 amount makes a partial contribution relative to the comparison amounts.

Pathways16

MK-7 supplies partial support within the arterial stiffness category.
Depth
MK-7 supplies partial support within the arterial stiffness category.
Breadth
The contribution stays below the broader coverage threshold, with no additional covered category.

Evidence77

MK-7 has limited arterial-stiffness evidence in selected populations.
Evidence strength
MK-7 has limited arterial-stiffness evidence in selected populations.
Studied preparation
The declared MK-7 preparation is recognized in the saved findings.

Formulation logic100

The ingredient works without a required missing partner. No listed ingredient conflict was triggered by the supplied facts.
Partner coverage
Every included ingredient can contribute without a required missing partner.
Conflicts
No listed ingredient conflict was triggered by the supplied facts.

Vitamin K · 90 mcg

Vitamin K2 MK-7 provides 90 mcg per serving of the specifically identified menaquinone form. It maps to partial arterial-stiffness marker coverage, but no target pathway reaches the broader coverage level. The relevant research concerns selected stiffness measures, not proof of fewer cardiovascular events.

How this product is rated for Cardiovascular Support

Ingredient fit72

The single active is the reviewed MK-7 form, with no off-goal ingredients.
Goal fit
MK-7 is tightly focused on a cardiovascular marker, though the product is linked to three goals.
Dose adequacy
The 90 mcg serving provides partial MK-7 exposure, below the 180 mcg daily study amount.

Pathways16

MK-7 relates only to arterial stiffness; no other cardiovascular pathway is represented.
Depth
Arterial-calcification control is the only represented pathway, with partial coverage.
Breadth
No target pathway reaches the breadth level.

Evidence69

MK-7 has limited marker evidence for this goal and is the only active ingredient.
Evidence strength
The evidence ceiling is modest compared with the strongest available for this goal.
Studied preparation
The identified MK-7 form is represented in a studied preparation.

Formulation logic100

The single active works independently, and no conflict is identified.
Partner coverage
MK-7 has a standalone role for the marker pathway described.
Conflicts
No conflict is identified in the available ingredient record.
Effective doses
The 90 mcg amount reaches the lower contribution range but remains below the study amount.
