Life Extension Super K – vitamin K in three forms for a daily supply of vitamin K1 and vitamin K2

Life Extension Super K is a dietary supplement developed for adults who want a daily supplement of vitamin K in a formulation that combines three different forms: vitamin K1 as phylloquinone, vitamin K2 as menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The product is formulated as one softgel daily and combines classic vitamin K1 with two widely used forms of vitamin K2 in an oily capsule matrix. On the manufacturer's official product page, 1 softgel is stated to contain 2,000 µg of vitamin K1, 1,000 µg of vitamin K2 as MK-4 and 180 µg of vitamin K2 as MK-7.

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin with established physiological functions in the body. In the EU, the following health claims are approved for vitamin K: vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and vitamin K helps to maintain normal bones. These claims can be used for products that are at least one source of vitamin K according to current regulations.

Super K has been developed for users who want a wide range of vitamin K in one formulation. Vitamin K1 is the most well-known form in the diet and is found particularly in green leafy vegetables. Vitamin K2 occurs in several menaquinone forms. MK-4 is a short-chained form, while MK-7 is a longer-chained form that is often used in modern dietary supplements. Official product information from Life Extension highlights that the product combines these three forms in one daily softgel.

The product is formulated in an oily base with extra virgin olive oil, gelatin, glycerin, beeswax, purified water, carob colour, maltodextrin and microcrystalline cellulose. Such an oily matrix is ​​technologically relevant because vitamin K is fat-soluble. The manufacturer's site also states that the capsule is taken once daily with food.
