Bone density loss over time
During development, your bones go through a growth
phase until they reach a peak bone mass where
remodeling and upkeep occurs. But, this process begins
to decline naturally over time and leads to age-related
bone density loss. But studies show that the right kind
of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-4), in the right dose, can
help maintain healthy bone density.
Why Should I Supplement With Mega Vitamin K2?
Vitamin K: it's important for us all, especially the K2
form. It benefits the heart, metabolism, and it
provides numerous benefits for our bones. There are plenty of wonderful foods that we get it from, but more
than likely, you aren't absorbing enough to maintain
strong, healthy bones.
If you're concerned about maintaining bone strength and
healthy bone density, consider adding Mega Vitamin K2
High Potency for Strong Bones to your daily regimen.
Our experts developed our formula based on studies that
showed that the right kind of vitamin K2 in the right
dose can help maintain healthy bone density.
The ingredients in Mega Vitamin K2 encourage bone-building cell activity, promote healthy bone mineral

Vitamin K is essential for bone mineralization. This
bone-friendly nutrient is a cofactor for the
carboxylation of osteocalcin, a protein produced by
osteoblasts that is responsible for binding calcium and
depositing it in the bone. This processed is called bone mineralization.1,2
Why is this important? Because if you’re not
getting enough K2, osteocalcin doesn’t undergo
carboxylation and remains in its inactive form,
which means it cannot bind to calcium and play its
role in bone formation.2
Bone density and menopause
Women go through a rapid phase of bone loss during
menopause, in addition to normal, age-related bone
loss—which happens at roughly the same rate as men.
But studies of postmenopausal women showed that
taking vitamin K2 helped maintain and even increase
bone mineral density.3-6
If you’re concerned about maintaining bone strength
and healthy bone density, consider adding Mega
Vitamin K2 High Potency for Strong Bones to your
daily regimen. It delivers 45,000 mcg (45 mg) of
vitamin K2 (menaquinone-4) in every dose, the same
amount shown to support bone mineral density.
