Abstract in brief

  • Three-year low-dose menaquinone 7 (MK7) supplementation improves vitamin K status and helps reduce age-related bone loss and decline in bone mineral density (BMD) and strength at key areas like the lumbar spine and femoral neck in healthy postmenopausal women.
  • The study found that MK7 significantly decreased vertebral height loss and increased bone strength, with measurements showing positive effects after 1, 2, and 3 years of treatment, highlighting its potential to prevent bone deterioration in this group.
  • Despite mixed results in previous research, this investigation supports the idea that low-dose MK7 can be beneficial for maintaining bone health in postmenopausal women, aligning with regulatory opinions on vitamin K’s role in supporting bone maintenance.]

Vitamin K is a powerful Micronutrient in aging. Menaquinone-7 is a form of vitamin K. In older women, it demonstrated to significantly improve & reduce bone mass density & bone mass loss at part of the lumbar spine and bone in the thighs. https://t.co/G82vXPoI1R
