Menaquin contains Menaquinone (Vitamin K2), which is essential for activating proteins that play a role in blood clotting, calcium metabolism, and heart health. It helps direct calcium into the bones and teeth where it is needed, while preventing calcium deposition in the arteries and soft tissues.
