Natto and Vitamin K2

Exceptional Source: Natto is universally recognized as the richest known dietary source of vitamin K2, specifically in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7).
Bacterial Fermentation: The vitamin K2 is produced during the fermentation process of soybeans by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis (var. natto).
Bioavailability: The MK-7 found in natto exhibits high bioavailability and a longer half-life in the human body compared to vitamin K1 or synthetic K2 forms.
Health Significance: This specific nutrient plays a crucial role in proper calcium metabolism, helping to direct calcium into the bones while preventing arterial calcification.
