Menaquinone-7 is a fat soluble vitamin which is also known as vitamin K2. Menaquinone-7 is an especial key isomer of vitamin K2 that is produced using Bacillus subtilis. Menaquinone-7 is the active trans-isomer of natural vitamin K2 with the highest bioavailability and longest half-life in blood. This makes Menaquinone-7 also available for tissues outside the liver, namely bones, arteries and soft tissues.
