One piece of scientific evidence that underscores the snake-oil-style ripoff of today’s fake dietary supplements: A 2023 report published by the journal JAMA Network found 40% of the 57 dietary supplements that researchers tested contained no detectable amounts of an ingredient listed on the label.
So, while snake oil itself may no longer be sold by the Clark Stanleys of the world, we still must be on the lookout for phony dietary supplements. Decades have passed since snake oil was all the rage, but shady operators still are trying to profit from bogus supplements.

Vitamin K helps maintain your body’s calcium balance, which affects several systems including arterial health and bone structure. But it’s hard to get sufficient vitamin K from food. So if you’re trying to maintain arterial health, a vitamin K supplement is a good idea.
More facts about Super K

Bone and arterial health
Vitamin K helps maintain bone metabolism by facilitating the incorporation of calcium into your bones. In the body, vitamin K also supports normal function of a protein called matrix Gla-protein (MGP). MGP helps regulate how calcium interacts with your arterial walls.So in addition to facilitating calcium incorporation into bone, vitamin K plays a role in maintaining calcium balance in your arteries as well.
The Rotterdam Heart Study is a large-scale observational study. One report from this study involved approximately 4,800 subjects tracked for at least seven years. It has been revealed that people who consume more dietary K2 have healthier cardiovascular systems compared with people who consume lower amounts. Another study found that vitamin K’s value to maintaining arterial health.
Vitamin K1

Vitamin K2 is found in small amounts in cheese, egg yolks and some meats. The MK-4 and MK-7 forms of K2 have been shown to be more bioavailable from food than K1. Supplementing with MK-7 has been shown to be effective at raising vitamin K2 levels.Our MK-7 is made from an innovative bio-fermentation process.
