I had a heart attack on February 2018 with one of left artery had 95 percent blockage. The other arteries showed 30 percent blockages as well. I did aggressive plant based diet for 8 months afterward plus consuming 4 pills of this product with 2 pills of vit d3 everyday. 2 weeks ago, I did calcium scoring CT Scan and surprisingly found out that my left artery plague has reduced to moderate , and the rest of arteries have 0 plagues. Praise the Lord.

I have had high cholesterol for a number of years. My weight and BMI is normal, I eat clean and in moderation. I do not drink or smoke, Nothing I did in terms of diet and exercise shifted the dial. Eventually, other health problems started to follow – muscle pain, hypothyroid, high BP, ocular changes, pre-diabetes and high BP. I was told that I was just getting older. Finally, my PCP put me on statin that made things worse.
My muscle pain, cramps, chest pains increased. I started having GI issues, my A1C number jumped from 6.8 to 7.5 within a few weeks of starting statins. When I saw my sibling get a heart attack due to clogged arteries as well as hardening of arteries due to calcification I knew I was next. I started to research how one can reverse hardening of arteries and the one thing that was recommended was K-2. I ordered one bottle and started taking K-2 once a day along with Guggul (twice a day) while I continued the statin. Within 4 months, my cholesterol is absolutely normal – my bad cholesterol is low, my good cholesterol is high, my total cholesterol is in normal range. I have stopped taking statin and continuing the K-2 and Guggul. My aim is to maintain my low cholesterol but also fix my A1C.
Along with K-2, I am now taking the following – Guggul, ReMag, Probiotics, Ashwagandha, Triphala, Garlic. Ginger. Turmeric, Karela and Inulin. I believe that every thing is connected in our bodies. We need to fix our gut, detox our liver, maintain blood sugar and take care of all inflammation in our body. I am also drinking moringa tea now. Hopefully, in coming months I can write that my A1C has become normal and get off of Metformin as well.

I became a bit lax about my health in 2019. When your numbers and health becomes good you ignore the fact that you got there due to lifestyle changes and that these changes need to be adhered to for life.
My recent cholesterol numbers (without statins or K2) was 166. Not so terrible, eh? But without K2, my HDL dropped to 39 and LDL went up high. And this is the interesting thing I have seen – without K2, I cannot move my HDL up and lower my LDL – even though total cholesterol is not high. Even statins only help to lower overall cholesterol for me but not improve HDL/LDL ratio. This may be purely genetic because coronary artery disease runs in my family on both sides. I will not make the mistake of stopping K2 again. K2 keeps me healthy but without it I revert back to high HDL in less than a year.
I have increased my K2 intake to 1 tablet twice a day for the next few months. In the morning I am having it with Guggul(Himalaya brand). At night I am also adding Zinc, D3 and Magnesium(ReMag). This particular combo has shown marked improvement to energy levels, sleep, aches/pains and inflammation fairly quickly, even during my recent COVID bout in March. In about 4-5 months I will drop the morning dose.

Not only did this help bring back my normal blood pressure, it helped my memory. Very amazing.

This is a GREAT source of the best, most absorbable form of K2 (MK-7) & it’s also a decent price.
I have ordered this a few times for my grandma & this has been her healthiest “cold & flu” season to date (she is also taking D3 5,000 IU & glutathione with this K2 MK-7). She has had at least 1 ER visit a winter for respiratory illness the past 6 or so years, but so far this season she has avoided the ER, minus when she broke some ribs trying to launch a boat from a slippery boat launch (she’s quite an active gal, or at least she tries to be… I’m trying to convince her that she should probably not ride on motorcycles anymore, being in her 80s, but she doesn’t listen too well.. at least she listened and is taking the 3 supplements I told her to take :).
Taking K2 MK-7 with D3 is important because the K2 prevents the D3 from causing calcium deposits in one’s heart. Taking D3 alone (especially at “high” doses of 5,000 iu or more) puts you at risk for that complication. The heart is NOT something to mess around with, so if you are taking D3, do some research for yourself about taking K2 MK-7 along with it).
I WOULD & have purchased this again for her & myself too!

Vitamin K2 is vital if you are taking Vitamin D to prevent calcium buildup in your arteries. This product is a good value and I use it daily.
Treener7 –
I take these with my Vitamin D for better absorption. No complaints.
Devon Kroener –
We’ve been using NOW product K2 MK7 supplements for a few years now. They’ve always been delivered quickly and never expired. They are packaged nicely with cotton ball and have never had any damaged capsules. K2 MK7 supplements are absolutely essential if you’re taking Calcium. It helps move calcium from the arteries and soft tissues to bones and teeth. MK7 has a longer half-life than other forms and can remain in the body for up to 2 days. Thanks NOW!

I like Now supplements in general and this one is no exception. I take once a day and I find it easy to swallow .I hope my next blood test and dxa scan will show improvement in the bone density and the blood calcium level
Jeremy M –
After starting to take vitamin D I developed knee pain. Turns out large doses of vitamin d pulls calcium out of the bones and taking vitamin k can prevent this. Upon learning this I tried this vitamin k and my knee pain went away and hasn’t come back since.

Debi –

Mind your biz –
Very good ? would recommend to all,k good for teeth as well.
Davirgi –
Great supplement for bone density and keeping calcium from building up in your veins and arteries where you don’t want it.
martyz4 –
I bought this and another NOW Supplement, Acidophilus. They are exactly the same is size and color. I didn’t know which was which in my pill case. I didn’t even notice this until I put everything in the case. I don’t like that they are exactly the same in color and size. Not explaining it properly but it can get confusing as to which is which.

My teenage son had major femur lengthening surgery on one leg. He’s been taking MK7 through this last year as part of his recovery and it’s no coincidence that his femur is so solid, one would never know he had the surgery at all….

I started spotting mid cycle and during my period would get giant blood clots. Obviously it absorbed and worked for those blood clots to be there but I was not a fan of it. This only happened the cycle I was on it and stopped as soon as I quit.
Vivian –
It’s easy to find plenty of strong advice about the importance of Vitamin K for keeping our arteries clear. But, on the other hand, Vitamin K supposedly helps with blood clotting. and blood clotting is exactly what we’re supposed to avoid if we have atrial fibrillation. That’s why doctors prescirbe deadly blood-thinning medications. Because I have atrial fibrillation, I’ve stopped my Vitamin K. I don’t take prescription meds either. (So far, I’ve made it to age 85.)
Mike –
Mk7 and Boron 3 are in exactly same color and size capsule (clear color with contents exact same color for both products. How can you tell them apart. Accidentally mixed them up in packing for extended trip and had to throw them all out. Big waste! ! How can you package your different products the same. In nursing we call that waiting for an accident to happen! !

Bought three times now

I dislike how this vitamin absorbs in my stomach. It burns and cause discomfort. I have to eat a great amount of food when taken it for such a tiny pill.
Amazon Customer –
This is a great product from a trusted manufacturers and better priced than other brands of the same quality. Its now a product I have subscribed to receive regularly as needed.
RC –
Amazon wants me to write something so I did.
Amazon Customer –
I have no issues with the product. I take it for bone health, and assume that it does what it is supposed to do. I gave it only three stars because it is replacing a bottle that I am finishing, which has an expiration date of March 2021. This new bottle has a date of August 2020. While I am sure that I will finish the bottle before it expires, it’s obviously older stock.
airmid –
This is the form of Vitamin K that I take together with D3. The calcium supplementaion recommended for so long is not effective but this is.
Patti Brown –
I take this to strengthen bones, teeth and keep the plaque out of my arteries. I have seen an improvement.
Mohgar –
Vitamin k2 is essential. What foods do have it don’t contain enough. Supplements such as this amazing one work great! Helps calcium get to the right places. D3 and vitamin K2 work well together. Also I personally noticed eating leafy greens (digestion wise) s easier when taking this
Joyce Townsend –
This is one of only a few brands that I would trust. Many people are K2 deficient but don’t know it. If you’re on blood thinners, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR! According to my doctor, I have the bone density of a 30-year old and I’m a lot older than that!
Maymie –
I am taking along with other supplements: Calcium, strontium, magnesium, D3 to slow bone loss. Only time will show if this helps.
Lora –
After watching several videos and reading up on the necessity of vitamin K2 I decided to try this and my energy level has risen at least 50%. I highly recommend that you research and take this product but make sure that you do also take vitamin D and vitamin A along with it.

I bought this MK7 vitamin K2 a week ago for general health reasons. I didn’t realize that it had effects on dental health. For the past 10+ years I’ve had chronic gum inflammation, that meant that every time I had hot spicy food or a hard-chewing steak or any crunchy food, my gums would swell up and bleed. I kind of got used to that, it was the price to pay for the food I liked, and never thought much about this.
Last night, less than a week after starting having K2, I inspected my gums and they were in great shape, after spending 5 days on a business trip eating steak, spicy and crunchy food. I googled K2 and dental health and learned that this vitamin is also known for dental health benefits.
Normally, I would be popping tylenols for the pain and swelling by now, but instead I’m in awe of this unexpected side-effect. I’m wondering why this is not better known, but will continue having K2 for a long time.
Amber55 –
It has side affects, I stopped taking them
B. R. Hall –
I’ve been taking K2 for over 3 years now, plus eating lots of Gouda cheese, which is high in K2. At my last appointment, my vascular doctor said I wouldn’t need to come back in 6 months, I could wait a year. My arteries have improved!

I bought this medicine for one purpose. I have gotten frequent nose bleeds since I was a child. Someone told me these would help. I’ve been taking them for a couple of years now and hardly any nose bleed issues now.
Candace F. Yoke –
I don’t know how to write a review for a vitamin. I won’t know for a while if it works. And what does absorbency in a vitamin mean anyway.
The price was right and it sounds good.
I read somewhere that you should take vitamin k if you take vitamin d. I read the descriptions of the k’s that were available and this one sounded better and the price was right.
Patty Piazza –
Now MK-7 Vitamin K-2 is the perfect compliment tho your vitamin D regimen. MK-7 is the preferred type and Now offers it at a low price. It’s daunting to try and provide everything at “organic” prices. This is an item I feel meets my needs without breaking the bank.
billyjohnson21 –
NOW makes great supplements. I’ve been taking a single cap everyday and until my bloods come back I can’t really give an accurate rating on the absorbency. However, price per serving is the best out!

Takes out the Calsium that’s deposited in your artery walls and deposits it in your bones and teeth.
