Viridian Vitamin K2 100 mcg (60 capsules) contains vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7). This vitamin K2 is sourced in Italy from fermented cultures of Bacillus subtilis natto, the bacterium also used in making the Japanese dish natto. Each capsule provides 100 mcg of vitamin K2, in a base of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), spirulina and blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus). The recommended dosage is 1 capsule per day with a meal, meaning the packaging will last about 60 days. The capsules are suitable for vegans.
Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin. It naturally occurs in dairy products and fermented foods and is also available as a dietary supplement.
Vitamin K2 naturally occurs in foods such as fermented cheese, yoghurt, sauerkraut and natto, a Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans.
Vitamin K1, also called phylloquinone, is mainly found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and broccoli. Vitamin K2, also called menaquinone, is mainly found in dairy and fermented foods. The difference lies in the chemical structure and dietary sources.
The MK-7 in this product is obtained by fermentation with Bacillus subtilis natto. As a result, the vitamin K2 is not of animal origin and the product is suitable for vegans. MK-7 is also a commonly used form of vitamin K2 in supplements.
Natto is a traditional Japanese dish made of soybeans fermented with the bacterium Bacillus subtilis natto. It has a distinctive, strong flavour and a stringy texture. Natto is known as a food rich in vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7.
Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin. That is why the manufacturer advises taking the capsule with a meal, preferably one containing fat. Having it with a main meal also makes it easier to include in your daily routine.
