Practitioner-grade vitamin k2 by NutriDyn
NutriDyn Vitamin K2 delivers menaquinone (MK-7), the long-chain form of K2 recognized for its extended activity in the body, supporting healthy calcium metabolism and cardiovascular and bone health. Formulated at the practitioner grade, it's designed for clinicians and health-conscious individuals who prioritize research-informed supplementation.
Why It's Worth Considering: MK-7 offers a longer half-life than shorter-chain K2 forms, which may support more consistent tissue availability at lower doses — a distinction NutriDyn's clinical formulation reflects.
Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is for blood clotting — abundant in leafy greens. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) directs calcium metabolism — puts calcium in bones and keeps it out of arteries. Most people get enough K1 from diet but are deficient in K2, which is found mainly in fermented foods (natto, certain cheeses) and animal liver.
MK-7 is the most bioavailable and longest-acting form of K2, with a half-life of ~3 days (vs ~1 hour for MK-4). This means a single daily dose maintains therapeutic blood levels 24/7. MK-7 is derived from natto (fermented soybeans) and has the strongest clinical evidence for bone density and arterial health.
For general health with D3: 100-200mcg MK-7 daily. For osteoporosis: 180-360mcg. For cardiovascular calcification prevention: 180-200mcg. The dose should scale with your D3 intake — higher D3 doses require more K2 to handle the increased calcium absorption.
If you're on warfarin/Coumadin: NO — K2 counteracts warfarin and will destabilize your INR. Consult your cardiologist. If you're on newer anticoagulants (Eliquis/apixaban, Xarelto/rivaroxaban, Pradaxa/dabigatran): these are NOT vitamin K-dependent, so K2 is safe. Always confirm with your prescribing physician.
