Everyone should take this!Oct 15, 2010
By Jules Abramson "The inverse association between heart disease and vitamin K2 intake is more straightforward. In The Rotterdam Study, which prospectively followed just over 4,600 men aged 55 or older in the Netherlands, the highest intake of vitamin K2 was associated with a 52 percent lower risk of severe aortic calcification, a 41 percent lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), a 51 percent lower risk of CHD mortality, and a 26 percent lower risk of total mortality. Even though the study population consumed ten times more K1 than K2, vitamin K1 had no association with either the degree of aortic calcification or the risk of heart disease. The profound effects of variations in such small amounts of dietary K2 emphasize just how powerful this substance is in the prevention of degenerative disease." From the Weston A. Price Foundation quoting Chris Masterjohn

Excellent product.Dec 26, 2008
By K. Watts I take this product in conjunction with my Multi calcium products to help the minerals absorb better in my bones. I love this product easy to take, since K2 needs some type of fat when you take it. This product has it all in one tablet.

Feeding your body at the cellular levelNov 19, 2011
By David M. Gordon Taking vitamins and nutritional supplements are a fascinating exercise in negative feedback; that is, they prevent your body from breaking down from the ravages of age and oxidative stress. This means you will note their deficiency, but not their sufficiency. Compound this reality with the fact that, as of this writing, research labs cannot accurately measure levels of several crucial nutrients; Vitamin K is one of those unmeasurable but crucial bio-markers. Now add to the foregoing the fact that many supplements MUST be ingested in the proper form and dosage for maximum efficacy, and the consumer ends up as much confused as helped.
Which all explains why I appreciate Jarrow Formulas' products. Consider Jarrow's MK-7, the correct form of Vitamin K2... Ahh, you see, it is not so simple as just buying Vitamin K! You must know the differences between K1 and K2, and also the constituent parts of K2 (the form of K you want to supplement) to know that you (your body) seeks to replenish its store of MK-7. Jarrow does this work for you, and more.
So I will not make a claim I cannot support ("I feel better than I have in decades, thanks to this product") but I can say that taking MK-7 helps feed my body at the cellular level, and that, after much research, Jarrow's products rank among the best of breed.

excellent product for heart healthMay 19, 2011
By Mark Twain
"John"
this product seems to be on the cutting edge for the prevention of heart attack and heart disease i run it every other morning with omega 3-6-9, Vitamin D and Calcium
since then, it seems like the occasional minor chest pains ive had for the last 20 years or so have reduced and/or stopped for the most part
if it can really keep the calcium out of your arteries, and onto your bones like the studies have shown, it is certainly something worth looking into
