Great product but watch out for customs charge!
I like this vitamin K product, it works well for me in combination with vitamin D3. I cannot fault the product and I give it 5 stars.However, please ensure you do not make the same mistake I did. I bought this from Herbs Daily EU at a good price but on delivery was hit with a £15.44 customs charge from Royal Mail. When I ordered it there was no mention that it would be imported and incur a fee. I would not have done so had I been made aware of this. I will be more wary in future.

I wanted a higher dose than the usual 100mcg & this was the best value of the big brands
This has K2 mk7 200mcg with other forms of the K vitamin. I wanted a higher dose than the usual 100mcg & this was the best value of the big brands. There are other lesser brands that are produced mainly here in the UK & I have tried 2 of them & was not satisfied that they contained K2 at all. K2 is a product that you have to trust 100% because most that take it are off setting calcium build up in the veins. This could be down to diet or like myself the high dose of daily vitamin D3 that I take. If on high dose vitamin D (over 4000iu) then it is very important to take vitamin K2 to offset the extra calcium that gets released into the blood. K2 takes that extra calcium & puts it into the bones. It is also wise to supplement with magnesium as this is the main mineral for heart health.

A good combination that is important to take with D3.
I decided to start taking vitamin K after noticing that I was bruising easily. After a few months, I noticed that this had stopped so anecdotally, I do feel that these have had an impact. Additionally, I take this vitamin as it is important to take vitamin K2 when taking high doses of vitamin D3.I chose this brand specifically as they are in liquid form, which are absorbed better than solid state capsules, and they are not packed with fillers and additives like silica. This supplement has the full complement of the K vitamins which is great.The gel capsules are very small and easy to swallow. They have no taste nor do they have an after taste. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase, and I will continue to use this brand whilst the ingredients remain the same. For me, it lost one star is it is quite pricey.

Good Stuff
K2 as described. If you take this with Vitamin D3 your bones become really strong. Good for the elderly, falls, will prevent possible fractures etc. Recently had implants done, my Dentist said he could hardly drill through the bone, he was struggling, said he couldn't figure out why, I told him why!

Could be a life-saver.
I was doing some research on Calcium supplements (ADCAL 750mg) my mum had been prescribed and it opened my eyes to a whole new 'complication' when taking the Calcium which I knew nothing about - and was told nothing about by my surgery. There is a situation which arises when taking Calcium as a supplement called 'The Calcium Paradox' and this book ( [ VITAMIN K2 AND THE CALCIUM PARADOX: HOW A LITTLE-KNOWN VITAMIN COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE ] BY Rheaume-Bleue, Kate ( AUTHOR )Aug-27-2013 ( Paperback ) will tell you all you need to know.Essentially, this wonderful little marvel, Super K, ensures that Calcium is deposited in the correct locations around the body and not in the soft-tissues of the heart for example where it is extremely dangerous. Take this pill and it could save your life. Read the book and do your research. Do not take what doctors say as sacrosanct. Ask a cardiac surgeon if they prescribe Vitamin K to patients and they'll say no...ask a cardiac surgeon if they take it and they would say yes !

Ingredients not as described
Sadly not as described. Ingredients on products page are not same as on bottle. They contain cellulose & maltodextrin, two ingredients I avoid at all costs.
