Vitamin K2 Bone Health Meta-AnalysisThese findings are reinforced by recent large-scale analyses: for example, a 2023 study in Clinical Nutrition involving nearly 410,000 UK Biobank participants reported that individuals with severe deficiency (<30 nmol/L) had a 10% increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and up to 35% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality [].3D&#8217;Elia Saverio (2025)Modulation of Cardiometabolic Risk by Vitamin D and K2: Simple Supplementation or Real Drug?

Vitamin K2 Bone Health Meta-AnalysisResults Biomechanical testing showed that high-dose MK-7 was associated with greater femoral mechanical resistance compared with untreated ovariectomized rats, while qualitative histology suggested differences in cortical architecture among groups.4Jecan A (2026)Effects of Menaquinone-7 on Bone Turnover Markers, Femoral Mechanical Resistance, and Histology in Young Ovariectomized Rats.
Vitamin K2 Bone Health Meta-AnalysisBiochemically, MK-7 treatment reduced undercarboxylated osteocalcin, suggesting vitamin K-dependent target engagement, whereas conventional turnover markers showed discordant findings.4Jecan A (2026)Effects of Menaquinone-7 on Bone Turnover Markers, Femoral Mechanical Resistance, and Histology in Young Ovariectomized Rats.
