What the research found

Researchers followed healthy postmenopausal women for three years to assess a low-dose MK-7 intervention. The paper reports changes in measures of bone health and age-related bone loss.

The important context

The findings concern a specific population and long-term protocol. They do not establish fracture prevention or the same outcome in younger adults, men or users of a blended supplement.
