Vitacost - Ultra Vitamin K with Advanced K2 Complex

As we know or not, Vitamin K2 is essential in putting calcium in right places, like bones or teeth instead of our arteries or any other organs.
I have chosen this product because of economical reasons.
It is an affordable complex of Vitamin(s) K which is K1, K2 MK-4 and MK-7 where MK-7 is better in the way of its long half-life in our body which is more than 24 hours in comparison with MK-4 which is about a couple of hours. Both work differently though, thus it is good to supply both forms.
MK-4 form is more beneficial but short half-life makes it expensive and more frequent dosing is required.

Those vitamins are important for our cardiovascular health because they (MK-4 & MK-7) take calcium out from our arteries and send it to the bones.

It is very important to add Vitamin K2 (preferably MK-7) when we are taking Vitamin D3.


There is not many products which offer all of the listed vitamins above together.
Many products available offer just one of each vitamins in higher prices.

1 Softgel contains:

• 100 µg (mcg) of K2 MK-7
• 1000 µg of K2 MK-4
• 1000 µg of K1

100 µg of MK-7 seems to be an okay dose for preventive benefits for a healthy individual but if you do have artery plaques already, doses like 200 µg and more might be required. 

Taking Vitamin K may cause insomnia or heart palpitations, those reactions are rare and in my case everything is totally fine, also side effects even if occur are rather harmless.

People taking warfarin or any other anticoagulant should talk with a health care professional.

This seems to be good value for money but there is one disadvantage of this product which is caramel in the ingredients. I don't mind about pill colours (anybody does ?) and when I buy supplements I want them to improve my health and I don't understand putting harmful ingredients to any dietary supplements which are suppose to be good for us.

Despite that fact, I was taking this supplement for about a year and soon I am switching to a different brand.
However if someone is looking for good and cheap Vitamin K Complex this product is good and I would recommend it.

Vitacost - Ultra Vitamin K with Advanced K2 Complex costs about $11.69
