Dose: K:100mcg, Quantity: 30Dose: K:50mcg, Quantity: 30
Real Food K-2 200 mcg Maximum Strength from Swanson delivers a potent 200mcg of Vitamin K2 as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7), a highly bioavailable form of vitamin K crucial for its systemic effects. MK-7's longer half-life means it stays active in the body for an extended period, offering continuous support for bone and cardiovascular health. While the dosage is excellent and the MK-7 form is preferred by nutritionists for its efficacy, the product's relatively high price per serving (106 cents) might deter budget-conscious consumers. Its 'Real Food' designation could imply better absorption or natural sourcing, but specific details on this are not provided, making it a general good quality product with a premium price point for a single ingredient supplement.
- Contains Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) form of Vitamin K2, which is highly bioavailable and has a long half-life.
- Provides an effective 200mcg dosage, suitable for daily supplementation for most adults.
- Swanson is a generally reputable brand.
- Higher price per serving compared to many other standalone MK-7 supplements.
- Limited additional co-factors (like Vitamin D) often recommended for synergistic bone and heart health benefits.

The product focuses exclusively on Vitamin K2 in its superior MK-7 form and an appropriate dosage, making it a highly targeted and effective option within the Vitamin K category for specific benefits like bone and heart health.
Goals
Bone Health 85.0
Vitamin K2 (MK-7) plays a critical role in bone health by activating osteocalcin, a protein that integrates calcium into bone matrix, thus promoting bone mineralization and strength. The 200mcg dose is effective for supporting healthy bone density.
Heart Health 85.0
MK-7 helps prevent arterial calcification by activating Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which binds to excess calcium and removes it from soft tissues like arteries, thereby supporting cardiovascular elasticity and overall heart health. The dosage is beneficial for this preventive role.
Cardiovascular Support 85.0
By inhibiting calcium deposition in arteries and promoting arterial flexibility, K2 (MK-7) contributes directly to improved cardiovascular function and reduced risk of stiffness, making 200mcg a strong supportive dose.
