Dr. Kelly recommend this particular product in her book, “The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook,” so I ordered it. I just started taking it so cannot report results.The capsules are easy to swallow. Just be sure to take them with a meal that includes some form of oil, or other fatty food, as vitamin K is an oil soluble vitamin. We need the oil/fat to absorb it into our systems. Because I eat a lot of greens I thought that my vitamin K needs were covered. What I didn’t know is that there are different forms of vitamin K. Leafy greens are high in K-1, which helps with blood clotting. Yes, that’s important, but it didn’t do my bones any good, so I developed osteopenia. Vitamin K-2, in both forms MK-7 and MK-4, is one of numerous vitamins and minerals that are ESSENTIAL to get calcium INTO the bones, where it belongs. Without K-2, calcium forms plaques in our blood vessels. Not a good thing! So vitamin K-2 is very important for both our bones and our cardiovascular health. This product has MK-7. I ordered MK-4, from another company as Jarrow apparently doesn’t sell it.Dr. Kelly states that natto is the best food source of K-2, and that because this product is made from natto, it is an effective supplement.I’m relieved to have found an affordable way to help prevent and reverse osteoporosis.  Read Less

Both play important roles. Vittamin D toxicity may cause blood vessel calcification, while vitamin K may help prevent this from happening.  Read Less
