NOW Foods MK-7 Vitamin K-2 100 mcg
NOW Foods MK-7 Vitamin K-2 100 mcg review — soy-free MenaQ7 capsules to pair with standalone Vitamin D3 for bone and arterial calcium routing.
MenaQ7 MK-7 — standalone K2 when D3 is already in another bottle
NOW’s soy-free MenaQ7 MK-7 capsule is the cheap standalone K2 next to Thorne D3+K2. Use it when your D3 is already a NOW 5,000 IU softgel or you want MK-7 without buying another combo. 100 mcg is a maintenance dose — not the 45 mg MK-4 protocol from Japanese fracture trials.

How It Works
K2 carboxylates osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein so calcium is more likely to go to bone than artery wall. Rotterdam-style epidemiology is the popular citation. Outcomes for low-dose MK-7 in already-sufficient people are modest. Warfarin and K2 do not mix without a clinician.
MK-7 Once Daily
100 mcg menaquinone-7. Longer half-life than MK-4, so one capsule with a fat-containing meal is the usual pattern.
Pair With D3, Do Not Double Blindly
If you already take Thorne D3/K2, you do not need this bottle too. This SKU is for D3-only users.
MenaQ7 Source
Trademarked MK-7. Soy-free. Not a blood-thinner substitute and not a reason to skip warfarin advice.
What You'll Experience
No Subjective Feel
MonthsYou will not ‘feel’ K2. The win is the pairing with D3, not mood on day three.
Labs
Year 1Bone and calcium-score changes are slow. Recheck 25(OH)D; do not chase ucOC at home.
Benefits
Cheap MK-7
Moderate Evidence60 capsules at a NOW price when you already bought D3 separately.
Once-Daily Format
Moderate EvidenceMK-7 beats three-times-daily MK-4 for people who will not remember lunch.
Risks & Considerations
Anticoagulants
high riskVitamin K interacts with warfarin and similar drugs. That is a clinician conversation, not a Reddit stack.
Not a Calcium Dump Fix
medium riskK2 will not un-calcify arteries you already have. It is preventive framing.
Community Reviews
Synthesized consensus from Reddit, forums, and expert sources.
NOW MK-7 is a frequent ‘just add this to D3’ pick. Smart comments all say skip it if the combo bottle already has K2.
