Microencapsulation

Vesta Natto MK-7™ uses microencapsulation technology to firmly coat vitamin K₂ MK-7 with safe food ingredients that can be digested when consumed in the body.

The coated vitamin K₂ prevents direct contact with alkali salts such as calcium and magnesium, which might cause decomposition and maintain the product’s effectiveness and stability.

The microencapsulated vitamin K₂ is water-soluble and well dispersed in water, beverages, milk, etc., so it can be used in various products, including aqueous solutions.

Proven Accelerated Stability Data available.

What is NATTOMK-7™?

Vesta Natto MK-7™ is Vitamin K₂ MK-7, also known as Menaquinone-7. MK-7 is a highly bioavailable extract of “natto” which is a traditional Asian soy-food dish. The Vitamin K₂ form of MK-7 is absorbed better than the Vitamin K1 form, which is more commonly found in other food products.

Natto MK-7™ functions in the carboxylation and binding of calcium to specific bone proteins. Research shows that MK-7 regulates calcium in the arteries as well. Thus, Natto MK-7™ ultimately supports both circulatory and skeletal health at the same time.

Why is MK-7 Vitamin K₂ Necessary

MK-7 regulates calcium through an amino acid that is part of the matrix Gla protein (a calcium-regulating protein), which is dependent on MK-7 to function properly. If the protein does not contain enough MK-7, it will not be able to retain calcium through carboxylation. Without MK-7, the calcium does not get directed to the areas where it is needed, such as the bones, and instead calcium moves out into the bloodstream and deposits in arteries and other soft tissue. MK-7 ensures that the calcium is directed and retained in the bones at normal, healthy levels.
