We are pleased to introduce MenaQ7® Olive Oil—our evidence-based Vitamin K2 as MK-7 (menaquinone-7), formulated in an extra-virgin olive oil carrier for oil-based supplement and food applications. This new delivery system for MK-7 is valued for supporting absorption of this vitamin in the body, providing significant amounts of K2, and aligning naturally with the Mediterranean diet.
MenaQ7® Vitamin K2 Olive Oil is now available
This innovation pairs our extensively studied MenaQ7® Vitamin K2, supported by over 22 human clinical trials spanning 20 years of research, with an olive oil delivery system. Since Vitamin K2 absorption depends on the action of fat-soluble vitamins working with healthy fats (like Greek full-fat yogurt), we created this solution to provide formulators with a clean-label ingredient backed by the heritage of Mediterranean health. Olive oil acts as a dietary fat to support absorption and may also help the body absorb Vitamin K from green leafy vegetables in the daily diet. Vitamin K1 plays a significant role in blood clotting.
Supported by 22+ human clinical studies
MenaQ7® Olive Oil delivers the same clinical validation our customers depend on. Our portfolio of 22+ peer-reviewed human clinical trials demonstrates how Vitamin K2 as MK-7 drives osteocalcin and Matrix Gla-protein carboxylation (i.e., activation)—essential for bone and cardiovascular function.
Clinical evidence demonstrates:
- Bone Health Support: Carboxylated osteocalcin facilitates calcium binding to the bone matrix, promoting mineralization and supporting bone density; research suggests Vitamin k status is linked to strong bones and related bone health outcomes.
- Cardiovascular Health Support: Vitamin K2 activates Matrix Gla protein (MGP), regulating calcium homeostasis and helping limit calcium buildup in blood vessels and soft tissues, thereby supporting cardiovascular protection and promoting arterial elasticity.
This robust scientific foundation enables you to create formulations with credible, evidence-backed health claims.
Naturally fermented with European manufacturing excellence
MenaQ7® Olive Oil is produced through natural fermentation and delivers the validated MK-7 form. Vitamin K2 is primarily found in fermented foods and some animal products, with fermented soy often cited in nutrition discussions as a traditional source. Production takes place in our European facilities, which operate under strict GMP standards, ensuring the consistent quality our partners expect.
Versatile integration across delivery formats
MenaQ7® Olive Oil has been developed for straightforward incorporation into multiple product platforms:
- Softgel Capsules
- Gummy Formulations & Soft Chews
- Liquid Delivery Systems
- Multi-Nutrient Combinations with Vitamins D3, A, E, and Omega-3 EFAs. (Vitamins D and E are commonly paired with K2 in multi-nutrient formulations)
The oil-based composition enables efficient integration into your current manufacturing workflows, whether you are developing targeted bone health products, cardiovascular wellness supplements, or multifunctional formulations. Olive oil (or avocado oil) can be used when formulators want a carrier that supports the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
Discover MenaQ7®
Vitamin K is an essential nutrient, and MenaQ7® is the first and best clinically proven Vitamin K2 as MK-7 for bone and heart health. In the broader diet, Vitamin K2 is more commonly associated with food sources such as fermented foods and certain animal-derived ingredients than with olive oil itself. Consistent intake as part of a daily routine may support long-term health benefits. With 22+ clinical studies demonstrating safe, effective health benefits, MenaQ7® offers the highest quality and sustainability commitments, delivering the purest Vitamin K2 molecule derived from natural fermentation from our European manufacturing site.
Formulate even under the harshest conditions of supplement and food processing with MenaQ7® Matrix, the natural choice for stable and protected Vitamin K2.
MenaQ7®’s ironclad quality, science, and versatile portfolio provide you with flexibility and concept opportunities when developing your new product and give you the confidence that it will gain attention on crowded shelves.
