Rejuvenation Therapeutics K2 MK-7 | 60-Day Supply, High Potency (300mcg) | Supports Bone and Heart Health | Vegetarian Capsules

If you are looking for K2 this has more capsules for the money than any of the others that I looked at.

This vitamin K supplement consists of MK-7 (Menaquinone-7). It is a form of vitamin K2 which is created from natto, a soy product, via a special process of fermentation. Scientific research has indicated that this form of vitamin K is much more usable in the body than vitamin K1, which is found in vegetables such as spinach.This is not the only brand of MK-7 I have tried. I also use MK-7 from Jarrow. The dosage of this supplement is 300 mcg per tablet. I personally find that to be a very high dose. Recommendations for ideal dosage varies from 45 mcg per day up to 200 mcg. I haven't personally read a recommendation to take a dosage of 300 mcg. For that reason, to me personally, this product is a bit of overkill. The excess won't harm you, but you are paying extra money for excess dosage you don't need.Note that MK-7 can be taken with food or on an empty stomach.Below I have included information on MK-7 in general, which some consumers might find of interest.MK-7 helps promote bone health by helping the body naturally--with no side effects--to build bone, which is an essential factor in preventing osteoporosis. It is advised to take it along with vitamin D3 at a dosage of between 1000-5000 mg per day and, of course, calcium and magnesium, to help maintain bone health. Additional helpful supplements for protecting and enhancing bones are boron, strontium and silica. Additionally, it's crucial to engage in regular, weight-bearing exercise, such as walking or lifting weights or simply jumping up and down at least 20 times per day.Using these supplements and exercise, which have no negative side effects, stands in strong contrast to Big Pharma's "bone-protecting" drugs. They, in fact, do NOT build bone. The drugs doctors most often prescribe for a DEXA-based diagnosis of "osteopenia" are from a class called "antiresorptives." These drugs attempt to slow bone loss by decreasing the rate of absorption of bone by osteoclast cells. Examples include: bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast), calcitonin (Fortical and Miacalcin), estrogen therapy or hormone therapy (Premarin, Prempro), and estrogen agonists/antagonists (Evista).There's a huge problem with these drugs, over and beyond their dangerous side effects. Stopping resorption works entirely against the body's bone-maintenance system. In a natural state (untampered with by drugs), there is a constant uptake by osteoclast cells of old bone tissue (resorption) which triggers a signal to the osteoblast cells to create new bone tissue. Both sides of the equation are essential for new bone to be created. In short, if there is no resorption of old bone by osteoclasts, then the osteoblasts will NOT make any new bone. This means that if I were to ever make the grave mistake of taking bisphosphonates, my body would cease making any new bone.My conclusion is this: Yes, during the relatively short-term testing of two years or less Big Pharma has done on these drugs, it has concluded and proclaimed that bone is spared, rather than lost. Unfortunately, due to how the body works, this type of medication cannot prevent osteoporosis over the long term. In fact, tragically, it is actually creating a form of osteoporosis, which is defined as a body filled with old, fragile bone tissue that is susceptible to breakage. Recent research has also indicated that the bisphosphonates in particular can create osteonecrosis (bone death) of the jaw and spontaneous femur fractures. There have been major class-action lawsuits regarding on this health tragedy, and for some time now, oral surgeons have refused to operate on dental patients who take these drugs. They don't want to get sued for malpractice because the patient's jaw bone crumbles during oral surgery.As stated above, research has indicated that the bone growth that MK-7 promotes can be additionally augmented by taking it in combination with vitamin D3. Multiple studies have demonstrated synergistic benefits when vitamin MK-7 and D3 are combined. There is enhanced osteocalcin accumulation in bone cells which leads to increased bone mineral density. Both MK-7 and vitamin D3 encourage calcium uptake where it needs to go, to bones.MK-7 also promotes cardiovascular health by helping to maintain arterial elasticity due to the function just described, of encouraging calcium in the body to go where it belongs, not where it does not, forming plaque in blood vessels.

Seem to work well to keep my VK levels up where they should be. I've tried a couple other brands, and I really like that the capsules are so small. They don't cause stomach upset and that's important. I take these to help keep up my bone density and to fight inflammation that stems from severe degenerative osteoarthritis, disc disease, and extensive nerve damage. There are times when I have forgotten to order another bottle of K2, and the difference in mobility is noticeable. I go from being able to do function closer to 'normal' to needing extra time to even get out of bed. My doc and I agree that taking this supplement is a more preferable option to having to ingest additional pain meds. The only downside is this brand is pricier than others, though due to the small capsules, lack of unwanted side effects, and how it helps my level of physical functioning, I am willing to pay extra for a better product.

As a woman of a “certain age” I’ve become aware of my need to make bone health a primary objective. I’ve done research and found that Vitamin K2 may be the missing link in determining how calcium is used by the body. I’ve added K2 to my supplement mix for over a year now. What I didn’t know but have recently discovered is that this addition also seems to be helpful in keeping your heart and vascular system in tip top shape.These Rejuvenation Brand tablets are teeny tiny so they’re easy to take and swallow. Just one a day is the recommended dose. But be aware that if you’re taking an anticoagulant these are not for you.

this Rejuvenation Therapeutics brand is new to me. I have seen it for sale for a long time, easy to distinguish by the sun symbol on the bottle.This K2 MK7, helps how the calcium works in your body. I usually do not review vitamins, but I have osteoporosis, and I feel like paying closer attention now that my Rheumatologist has said that my medication should help harden my bones, and the good news makes me feel hopeful, so why not. This supplement is agreeing with me, it is small enough to make the cut, fitting in my pill box with my other pills, and this is an excellent way to have some kind of feeling that I am doing something good for myself. I have heard/read about many things that can happen in the body with calcium, and this will help the calcium do it's job well, and safely, as I understand it.Enjoy

Vitamin K2 is a little known vitamin that hasn't received much attention, but one with many benefits. I recently started taking calcium to lower my risk of osteoporosis. Vitamin K2 works with the calcium to regulate where/how the calcium works in the body. In addition to improving the health of bones & teeth, K2 is shown to reduce the risk of cancer & heart disease. These are tiny capsules that are very easy to swallow with zero aftertaste. Will update my review when/if the benefits are noticed.
