Menaquinone 6

Description:
Menaquinone 6, also known as MK-6, is a form of vitamin K2, which is part of the larger family of compounds known as menaquinones. It is characterized by its long isoprenoid side chain, which consists of six isoprene units, contributing to its lipid-soluble nature. Menaquinone 6 plays a crucial role in various biological processes, particularly in the synthesis of proteins involved in blood coagulation and bone metabolism. It is synthesized by certain bacteria and can be found in fermented foods, such as natto, as well as in animal products. The compound exhibits antioxidant properties and is believed to support cardiovascular health by preventing arterial calcification. Menaquinone 6 is stable under normal conditions but can be sensitive to light and heat, which may affect its potency. Its bioavailability and efficacy can vary based on dietary sources and individual metabolism. Overall, MK-6 is an essential nutrient that contributes to overall health, particularly in maintaining bone density and cardiovascular function.
