Menaquinone 4

Description:

Menaquinone 4, also known as MK-4, is a form of vitamin K2, which is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for various biological functions, particularly in blood coagulation and bone metabolism. It is characterized by its long isoprenoid side chain, which distinguishes it from other forms of vitamin K. MK-4 is primarily found in animal products, such as meat and dairy, and is synthesized in small amounts by certain bacteria. Its role in the body includes facilitating the carboxylation of specific proteins that are crucial for calcium binding, thereby promoting bone health and cardiovascular function. Menaquinone 4 is also noted for its potential antioxidant properties and its involvement in cellular processes. Due to its fat-soluble nature, absorption is enhanced when consumed with dietary fats. Research has indicated that adequate levels of MK-4 may contribute to reducing the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. However, further studies are needed to fully understand its therapeutic potential and mechanisms of action in human health.
