this only contains longer chain menaquinones (MK-6 to MK-8) as products of bacterial metabolism, not shorter chain K2 like MK-4.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

vitamin k2 occurs almost exclusively in animal foods there's a little bit of vitamin k2 which tapes in many different forms mk1 through mk11 with mk4 being the most bioavailable probably the most bioactive form of menaquinone in humans though we see many different types of metaquinones that are considered to be vitamin k2 technically so what we find is that these are really only present in animal foods except perhaps something like natto which is fermented soybeans but it's not in the soybeans it's in product of the bacteria that are fermenting the soybeans
