Question 1

Is K-2 in form of MK-7? Is it in a gel cap?

Accepted Answer

I don't take Now; I use Jarrow Mk-7, which is K-2 as Menaquinone 7. You should be taking Mk-7 (as described on the Jarrow label), D-3 (I use Now's D-3), Strontium, Magnesium, and Calcium to build bones.

Question 2

what form is the K2? MK7?

Accepted Answer

There is Menaquinone-4, MK-4 & Menaquinone-7, MK-7. The Menaquinone-7 is much better for humans than the Menaquinone-4. MK-4 is a synthetic product, MK-4 has a very short biological half-life of about one hour, making it a poor candidate as a dietary supplementI have found many times that companies that do not clearly state Menaquinone-7 or MK-7 usually it is because it is the much less effective MK-4.

Question 3

Is this product vegan?  now is usually pretty good about labeling their supplements as vegan, but i don't see that on this.  why not?

Accepted Answer

It’s not, the label says the D3 is from Lanolin, weird being the capsule is vegan

Question 4

What is the expiration date on these?

Accepted Answer

It is extremely hard to read but in light yellow against white on the bottom of the bottle I can barely detect 05/2017 so apparently the expiration date is May of 2017. The bottle contains 120 capsules. Each capsule contains 3 mg of vitamin C which is very tiny and I am not sure why it is incorporated.  There is 1000 units of D3 and 45 micrograms of K2. They recommend 1 to 2 capsules a day. I use one daily in the am. The address for Now Foods is 395 S. Glen Ellyn Rd in Bloomingdale, Illinois 60108. There is a website where you might find more information: www.nowfoods.com  Hope that helps.
