MK-7

This outstanding "calcium crossing guard" helps reduce the amount of calcium that circulates in your arteries—where it is most definitely not wanted—and helps direct it to your bones. This makes vitamin K2 a must for healthy arteries.

• Provides the most active and bioavailable form of vitamin K2
• Helps reduce the level of calcium in your bloodstream
• Supports cardiovascular health
• Helps strengthen your bones
• Aids in calcium absorption in your bones
• Helps increase bone density levels

If your multivitamin includes vitamin K, it's K1, NOT K2. And even if it is K2, it's highly unlikely that it's the more expensive MK7 form of K2—the most bioavailable and beneficial form for your cardiovascular system and your bones. While K1 is found commonly in leafy vegetables and plays a role in normal blood clotting, only 10% of the vitamin K1 in these foods is absorbed by your body. In addition, K1 does not stay in your body anywhere near as long as K2. And it's only K2 that's been studied for effectively helping to keep calcium out of your blood and arteries. If the "2" is missing, it's not the right vitamin K for your bones and cardiovascular system.

There are a lot of K2 products available that contain less than 150 mcg of MK-7. Instead, many of these supplements use blends that are actually predominantly MK-4, the cheaper, far less active relative of MK-7. That's why Dr. Sinatra recommends the new Healthy Directions MK-7. This formula gives you Dr. Sinatra's full recommended dose (150 mcg) of the most active, most bioavailable, most effective vitamin K2 every day. Your bones and your arteries will thank you for it.
