Abstract in brief

  • Menaquinone-7 (MK7) supplementation for 12 weeks significantly reduced desphosphouncarboxylated MGP (dpucMGP) levels, indicating improved vitamin K status, with greater effects at higher doses.
  • The ratio of uncarboxylated to carboxylated osteocalcin decreased, further supporting enhanced vitamin K activity; however, other cardiovascular risk factors showed no change.
  • The study suggests that dpucMGP can be used as a noninvasive marker to assess vitamin K status, but MK7 supplementation did not affect other forms of MGP or cardiovascular risk factors.]
