Vitamin K2 MK-7 has a better bioavailability than K1 and much longer half-life time (72 hours compared to 1-2 hours). The transport of vitamin K2 MK-7 in the blood is associated with low density lipoproteins.
Therefore, long-chain MKs are thought to be the most adequate form of vitamin K to supply LDL receptor-containing extra hepatic tissues such as the arterial vessel wall and bone. Vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in directing calcium to the right places – into the bones and out of the arteries. K2 puts calcium in balance.
