Super K offers affordable vitamin K to support proteins involved in normal bone mineral handling.

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

Nutrient Quality27

The vitamin K form is not clearly disclosed in the ingredient breakdown, limiting a complete quality comparison. Vitamin C has a named form, but its relative quality also remains uncertain.

Ingredient Transparency81

Both nutrient amounts are stated. Vitamin C has a named form, while vitamin K lacks a clearly disclosed form in the ingredient breakdown.

Value For Money78

The low serving cost offers good value for vitamin K. Whether vitamin C adds meaningful value remains uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction91

Customer ratings are very positive. The large review history gives an established picture of satisfaction, without proving health effects.

Product Focus57

The clearest role is vitamin K nutrition for proteins involved in bone mineral handling. Findings for particular MK-7 preparations do not establish the same vascular or longevity benefits for the combined vitamin K forms.

Vitamin K · 2600 mcg

Vitamin K has limited preparation-specific evidence for selected measures of arterial stiffness. The supplied forms include K1, MK-4 and MK-7, whose amounts and identities must be assessed separately; a combined vitamin K total cannot substitute for the studied MK-7 exposure.

Vitamin K · 2600 mcgVitamin C · 10 mg

Vitamin K supports activation of proteins involved in bone mineral handling. This serving separately declares 100 mcg of MK-7, alongside K1 and MK-4; their amounts cannot be combined to represent MK-7. MK-7 has limited bone-density evidence in postmenopausal women, with mixed findings and no established general fracture prevention. Its serving amount is below the 180 mcg daily exposure used in one favorable three-year trial.

How this product is rated for Bone Health

Ingredient fit76

MK-7 provides the relevant, focused bone-protein contribution; the small vitamin C amount does not add a meaningful contribution.
Goal fit
The relevant activity centers on MK-7 rather than a broad mixture of unrelated actives.
Dose adequacy
The 100 mcg MK-7 serving provides partial coverage relative to the supplied study anchor; K1 and MK-4 do not increase that amount.

Pathways42

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

Evidence98

The relevant human findings concern MK-7 in postmenopausal women and remain mixed.
Evidence strength
MK-7 supplies the strongest relevant evidence, limited to mixed bone-density findings in postmenopausal women.
Studied preparation
The explicitly declared trans MK-7 matches the relevant preparation; the larger K1 and MK-4 declarations do not establish equivalent evidence.

Formulation logic100

The relevant MK-7 contribution has no unmet partner requirement or identified 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
MK-7 reaches the amount threshold used for inclusion; the small vitamin C amount does not.

Vitamin K · 2600 mcg

Vitamin K activates proteins relevant to vascular mineral handling. The eligible amount is not summarized as a single confirmed dose here, and the preparation is unidentified; the limited arterial-stiffness evidence for MenaQ7 cannot be assumed to apply to the mixture or to lifespan.

Vitamin K · 2600 mcgVitamin C · 10 mg

Vitamin K as MK-7 has limited evidence for selected arterial-stiffness measures in postmenopausal women. The saved findings recognize an MK-7 preparation, but mixed vitamin K forms and an unresolved parent amount limit interpretation of the MK-7 portion. The small vitamin C declaration does not establish routine cardiovascular prevention or an added combination benefit.

How this product is rated for Cardiovascular Support

Ingredient fit72

The relevant ingredients provide a cardiovascular connection, with their declared amounts determining how closely study exposures can be compared.
Goal fit
The recognized ingredients give the formula a clear cardiovascular focus.
Dose adequacy
Some recognized amounts fall below comparison exposures or remain unresolved, limiting confidence in matching the studied effects.

Pathways19

The findings concentrate on arterial calcification control, rather than establishing broad clinical protection.
Depth
The strongest recorded area is arterial calcification control, with the clinical limits described for the relevant ingredients.
Breadth
No selected pathway reaches the saved breadth threshold.

Evidence69

Evidence recognition concerns the supplied ingredients and preparations; the scientific context preserves distinctions between marker changes and clinical events.
Evidence strength
Vitamin K leads the recognized evidence findings; marker changes and population limits constrain what that means for cardiovascular outcomes.
Studied preparation
The recognized preparation declarations receive a study match in the saved findings; this does not extend their results beyond the studied outcomes and populations.

Formulation logic100

No missing required partner or ingredient conflict is recorded; amount limitations still affect interpretation.
Partner coverage
No required partner is missing for the recognized ingredients; this does not establish extra benefit from combining them.
Conflicts
No ingredient conflict was recorded in the supplied findings.
Effective doses
All recognized ingredients meet the saved minimum amount threshold; this is not a proven clinical-effect threshold.
