VitaMK7 is a naturally derived and solvent-free vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7

VitaMK7 is a naturally derived and solvent-free vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7, obtained through a patent granted biofermentation process of Bacillus subtilis natto cultures.

This bacillus is considered as the native bacterium needed to produce good natto rich in Natural Vitamin K2. No other types of Bacillus are used by Gnosis (i.e. Bacillus licheniformis used in other K2 derivates).

MK7 is a widely studied ingredient and modulates calcium homeostasis with a role in bone and cardiovascular health. Supplementation of vitaMK7 ensures calcium deposit in bone mass and protects arterials and tissue from calcification.

VitaMK7 is the most advanced vitamin K2 Menaquinone-7 product in the market and meets the USP and TGA standard requirements.
