Description
Vitacost Vitamin K2 (MK-7) with Nattokinase is an advanced formula that leans more towards bone and cardiovascular support than a typical nattokinase supplement, pairing a full 100 mcg dose of vitamin K2 with a smaller amount of nattokinase, the enzyme derived from fermented Japanese soya food natto.
What vitamin K2 does
Vitamin K's primary role in the body is to help produce Gla (gamma carboxyglutamic acid) proteins, which are involved in the coagulation and anti-coagulation of blood. Vitamin K is also needed for osteoblasts, the cells that build bone, to activate osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to bones. This is why vitamin K2 is often researched for its role in helping ensure calcium is properly directed to bone rather than soft tissue.
What's in each softgel
Each softgel provides 100 mcg menaquinone-7 (vitamin K2 MK-7) alongside 16 mg nattokinase, providing 320 FU. This is a notably lower nattokinase strength than most single-ingredient nattokinase products in our range, which reflects this formula's focus on vitamin K2 as the primary active ingredient, with nattokinase included as a complementary addition rather than the main event.
Other ingredients are evening primrose oil, gelatine, glycerine, yellow beeswax, water, soya lecithin and caramel colour, so this softgel is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. The formula is free from milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, crustacean shellfish, fish, gluten and titanium dioxide.
Choose your pack size
This product is available in 90 or 200 softgel counts, both taken at one softgel per day, so the larger bottle simply extends how long a single order lasts before you need to reorder.
How to use it
As a food supplement, take one softgel daily on an empty stomach, or as directed by a healthcare professional. If you are looking for a higher-strength nattokinase alongside K2 instead, our Swanson Vitamin K2 with Nattokinase provides a full 2,000 FU nattokinase dose alongside its K2, which is a better fit if nattokinase strength is your priority rather than vitamin K2 dosage.
Who this suits
This product suits people who are primarily looking for a 100 mcg vitamin K2 (MK-7) supplement and see the added nattokinase as a bonus, rather than people specifically comparing nattokinase products by FU strength. If bone health and calcium metabolism are your main focus, this formula is worth considering alongside other vitamin K2 supplements, not just other nattokinase products.
Storage
Keep out of reach of children, keep dry and at room temperature, and do not use if either the outer shrink-wrap or inner seal is broken or missing.
