vitamin K2 or MK7
You need to check out youtube and listen to the calxcium paradox by Kate Rheaume-Bleue to appreciate how much K2 does for your body. It is the missing link to ones overall health and has been lost to the industrial age of mass production of food. It has save me from osteoporosis but on a more cellular level protects my teeth. heart and brain. Mk7 stays in the body longer than Mk4 with vitamin D and A they make a winning team to improved and sustained health

The potency is there
I took just one softgel of MK-7 by Jarrow Formulas, I could feel the potency. Don't take a lot of these until you know you can handle it. Same thing with Vitamin D. I take 80 IU and its strong. (from Cod)

MK-7 Benefits
If youre taking large doses of Vitamin D as Im doing to raise blood levels to the recommended 50-60 range then the body needs more K2 to move calcium around efficiently strengthening bones and improving heart function according to Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue author of "Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox." Its suggested that for every 1000 IUs of Vitamin D taken 100 mcgs of K2 should be taken. The Grassroots Health site has a chart showing the amount of D necessary to raise blood serum levels to higher levels. For example my ng/ml level is 30. To raise it to 50 which is my goal the chart recommends taking an additional 3000 IUs of D per day for a person weighing 150 Ibs. I take the Jarrow Formulas K2 because of the companys reputation the Natto base which is said to be the richest food source of the K-7 component and because of the convenient 90 mcg size. Another use of the supplement is to add it to homemade sauerkraut which naturally produces about 50 mcgs of K2. Adding the supplement at the beginning of the fermentation process is said to increase the K2 content ten-fold. Factoring this in to my calculations of how much MK-7 to add to complement taking an additional 3000 IUs of D Ive determined that two caps 180 mcgs of the MK-7. would be enough.
