Navigator Vitamin K2 MK-7 200 µg, 180 capsules - dietary supplement

Navigator Vitamin K2 MK-7 200 µg - 180 capsules

This large package of vitamin K2 is designed for ongoing supplementation: 180 capsules with a scheme of one capsule daily. The content of one capsule is specified by the manufacturer as 200 µg of vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7, or menaquinone-7, which corresponds to 267% of the nutrient reference value for an adult. Menaquinone is produced during fermentation carried out by Bacillus subtilis NATTO bacteria. The rest of the list includes three rice fillers and a coating made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and Navigator describes the preparation as vegetarian and vegan. The product is made in the United Kingdom, and it is managed by the London company Navigator Supplements. When using anticoagulants, the use of vitamin K requires a conversation with a doctor. Storage is simple: the manufacturer recommends a cool, dry place away from light, preferably in the original box.

Ingredients

The composition provided by the manufacturer and the content in one capsule:

• Vitamin K2 MK-7 (menaquinone-7 from Bacillus subtilis NATTO fermentation) - 200 µg, which corresponds to 267% NRV
• Filling substances: rice concentrate, rice extract, gluten-free rice flour
• Capsule coating: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose

The formula consists of just the vitamin and fillers: the manufacturer declares it to be free from sugar, lactose, gluten, starch, dairy, and magnesium stearate. The filling function is performed by three rice fractions (concentrate, extract, and gluten-free flour), which are food raw materials, not auxiliary substances. The entire list thus consists of three items: vitamin, fillers, coating. The MK-7 notation for vitamin K2 indicates a specific form of menaquinone, not the general name of the group - in this preparation obtained from fermentation carried out by Bacillus subtilis NATTO bacteria. The coating made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a plant-based raw material, and the manufacturer describes the preparation as vegetarian and vegan. If you avoid soy, check the allergen information on the packaging.

Frequently asked questions

How much vitamin K2 is in one capsule?

The manufacturer declares 200 µg of vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7, or menaquinone-7, which corresponds to 267% of the nutrient reference value for an adult. This value applies to one capsule, and the manufacturer recommends taking one capsule daily, so it is also the daily portion. The MK-7 notation indicates a specific form of menaquinone, not the general name of vitamin K.

What is the difference between this package and the smaller one?

Only the number of capsules - the formula, form, source of raw material, and vitamin content in the capsule are the same. The larger package is simply a longer supply with the same scheme of one capsule daily. The choice comes down to whether you are just starting supplementation or have been doing it regularly.

What else is in the capsule besides the vitamin?

The coating consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is a plant-based raw material, and the fillers are three rice fractions: concentrate, extract, and gluten-free rice flour. The menaquinone itself is produced during fermentation carried out by Bacillus subtilis NATTO bacteria. The manufacturer describes the preparation as vegetarian and vegan and declares it to be free from sugar, lactose, gluten, starch, dairy, and magnesium stearate.

How to store the package for such a long supply?

The manufacturer recommends a cool, dry place and protection from light, preferably in the original packaging. With a large package, this has practical significance, as it stays in the cupboard longer than smaller ones. Avoid damp places, such as a bathroom shelf, and keep the package out of reach of small children.

Variants and category

The same formula is also packaged by Navigator in a smaller package, and the K2 vitamin combined with vitamin D3 in one capsule is available in a combined version from the same line. You can find the full offer in the Supplements category.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women and those taking other medications regularly should also seek medical advice. Do not use the preparation in case of hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
