Menaquinone-4 (Vitamins)
Menaquinone-4 (MK-4) is a form of vitamin K2 that plays an important role in bone and heart health. Menaquinone-4 is essential for activating proteins that help regulate calcium in the body, which helps promote bone health and prevent calcification in blood vessels.
Menaquinone-4 can be obtained from food sources such as meat, eggs, and some types of cheese, and it is also produced in the body from menaquinone-7 (MK-7).
Some studies have shown that menaquinone-4 may have potential benefits in improving bone health, especially in postmenopausal women, and it is also important in preventing heart disease. However, it is important to consult a doctor before using supplements or increasing doses.
