Question 1

What's the difference between this and your other product that is just k-2, and this one if more expensive than the other?

Accepted Answer

There are around 100 different forms of vitamin K-2 (within the Menaquinone family-each designated "MK-#") available. Thus, if a bottle of vitamin K2 does not designate that it is "K-2 MK-7", then the form of vitamin K2 is most likely MK-1 or MK-4, both of which are quite inexpensively manufactured synthetically.  Also, MK-7 is: harvested from NATTO (MK-7 is naturally produced by the bacteria that grow on fermented soy beans aka: NATTO); about 20 times more efficient/effective than other forms of vitamin K-2; and, though the bottles may say "contains soy", we've never heard of anyone having a soy reaction to MK-7 because it is harvested from the bacteria from NATTO not the soy itself.  Respectively, when we buy vitamin K-2, we only use MK-7.

Question 2

The manufacturer produces 3 different forms of k2 mk-7.  the question is why do they not specify clearly which form this is???

Accepted Answer

This is not a common question, we don’t specify on our labels. The manufacturer of MenaQ7® makes 4 types: NOW offers the “Natural MK-7” fermented from chickpeas. Other products offered by the same producer include a second type made from soybeans (“Natto MK-7”), a third one that’s a nature-identical synthetic and not made from fermented beans (“PharmaPure MK-7”), and a fourth one that provides several isomers (MK-6, MK-7, and MK-9) derived from fermented chickpeas (“Full Spectrum K2).

Question 3

Are the pictures from two different bottles? Gelatin is absolutely not Vegetarian.

Accepted Answer

The front of the bottle that I was sent says "60 veg capsules."  The back of the bottle shows that "Gelatin" is one of the "other ingredients."

Question 4

gow many mgs does each pill contain?

Accepted Answer

100 mcg is one tenth of a milligram for vit K2 and there is also 2 mg of vitamin C. Informed consumers would also want to take some Vit A and Vit D (a min of 2000 IU) along with plenty of Calcium and Magnesium in the diet or pills to have the Vit K do its work.
