## About
Pierce a softgel and the oil beads deep gold, thick enough to leave a faint sheen on the fingertip. Nothing in it hints at its pungent ancestry: natto, the fermented soybeans eaten at breakfast in parts of Japan for centuries, most famously around Mito.Natto carries vitamin K2, a nutrient distinct from the K1 found in leafy greens, in far greater concentration than almost any other food. This is the MK-7 form specifically, produced by fermenting chickpea extract with the same bacterial culture used to make natto, and chosen because it lingers in the bloodstream far longer than the shorter-acting MK-4. The strong fermented smell of the original has been filtered cleanly away. K2 is meant to work quietly alongside calcium and D3, never in their place.DetailsVitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7)Made by fermenting chickpea extract with the natto cultureOil-filled softgelsHow to useTake one softgel daily with a meal that carries some fat, since K2 travels on it the way D3 does.
