Get double the power with this double-strength version of Swanson K2, delivering 100 mcg of vitamin K2. Swanson K2 (formerly Natto K7) is the most biologically active form of vitamin K2. While vitamin K is mostly known for its involvement in blood clotting, K2 also helps to activate the osteocalcin and matrix GLA proteins that regulate where calcium ends up in the body.
Vitamin K2 itself consists of 13 numbered natural substances called menaquinones of which primarily menaquinone-7 has been scientifically studied to benefit cardiovascular and bone health. Studies suggest menaquinone-7 specifically may also support both mood and blood sugar health in women.
Extensive research completed in the Netherlands indicates the natto-derived form of menaquinone-7 helps get calcium out of the arteries and into the bones where it belongs. This promotes bone formation and strength as well as vascular health.
Swanson Vitamin K2 is derived from natto, a fermented soy product that is the richest natural source of K2, and delivers menaquinone-7 in sunflower seed oil-based softgels for better absorbability.

FAQ
- What does vitamin K2 do in the body?
Vitamin K2 activates vitamin K-dependent proteins that help regulate how calcium is used in the body. These proteins support normal bone mineralization, healthy blood vessel function, and overall calcium metabolism. - What does "natural" vitamin K2 mean?
Natural vitamin K2 refers to vitamin K2 that is produced through fermentation, similar to the vitamin K2 found in traditional fermented foods such as natto. This fermentation-derived form provides menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the form of vitamin K2 most commonly used in clinical research and dietary supplements. - What's the difference between MK-4 and MK-7?
MK-4 and MK-7 are two forms of vitamin K2. MK-4 is found in certain animal foods and has a relatively short half-life in the body. MK-7, commonly derived from fermented foods such as natto, remains in the bloodstream longer and is the form most commonly used in dietary supplements and clinical research. - How does vitamin K2 support bone health?
Vitamin K2 helps activate osteocalcin, a protein involved in incorporating calcium into bone tissue. By supporting normal calcium metabolism and bone mineralization, vitamin K2 helps maintain strong, healthy bones. - What makes Swanson Natural Vitamin K2 unique?
Swanson Natural Vitamin K2 delivers 100 mcg of naturally fermented menaquinone-7 (MK-7), a highly bioactive form of vitamin K2 sourced from Japanese natto. Compared to the 50 mcg formula, this high-potency version provides twice the amount of MK-7. Because MK-7 remains in the body longer than other forms of vitamin K, it provides sustained nutritional support in a convenient once-daily sunflower oil-based softgel. - Is Swanson Natural Vitamin K2 suitable for special diets?
Swanson Natural Vitamin K2 is non-GMO. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because the softgel contains gelatin, and it is not gluten free. Always review the product label for the most current ingredient and allergen information.
