Product Specification
What form of vitamin K2 does SHENI Vitamin K2 contain? All-trans menaquinone-7 (MK-7), obtained by controlled bacterial fermentation — the same biological route that produces K2 in natto.
What is the dose per serving? 100 µg of all-trans MK-7 per drop — 133% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV for vitamin K: 75 µg).
What is the bottle size? 30 mL, approximately 800 drops.
Where is it manufactured? European Union (Poland), same facility as all SHENI products.
What is the product format? Liquid oil drop in MCT carrier oil.
MK-7 vs MK-4 vs K1
What is the difference between K1 and K2? K1 (phylloquinone, from leafy greens) is preferentially used by the liver for clotting factors. K2 (menaquinones) circulates longer and reaches extrahepatic tissues — bone and vasculature — where it activates osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein.
Why MK-7 and not MK-4? Serum half-life. MK-7 remains in circulation for roughly three days; MK-4 for one to two hours. A single 100 µg MK-7 dose maintains stable levels; MK-4 requires repeated milligram-range dosing to achieve the same effect.
What is the all-trans / cis issue? Only the all-trans isomer of MK-7 is biologically active. Poorly controlled synthetic MK-7 can contain a substantial share of inactive cis isomer while still passing a basic potency assay. SHENI specifies fermentation-derived all-trans MK-7 and tests the isomer ratio on every batch.
Usage
Recommended use? Adults: 1 drop daily, with a meal, unless otherwise advised by a healthcare professional.
Can I take it with Vitamin D3? Yes — the combination is the most-studied pairing for these two vitamins: D3 increases calcium absorption, K2-activated proteins help direct where calcium is deposited.
Who must NOT take K2 without medical advice? Anyone on vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants (warfarin and related medicines). Vitamin K directly interacts with how these drugs work — consult your doctor first.
Verification
How do I verify my bottle is authentic? Enter the LOT number printed on the bottle at sheni.fr/verify-your-batch/ to see manufacturing date, expiry, and available batch documentation.
