-Shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, including those found in leukemia, lung cancer, and prostate cancer.<br>
-Shown to induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells, which can help to prevent the spread of cancer.<br>
-Shown to have anti-angiogenic effects, which means it can help to prevent the formation of new blood vessels that feed cancer cells.<br>
-Synergistic effects with other nutrients, such as vitamin D and calcium, to enhance its anti-cancer effects.<br>

Vitamin K2 exists in several forms known as menaquinones, with MK-4 and MK-7 being the most studied. MK-4 is often used in Japan for therapeutic purposes, whereas MK-7 (derived from bacterial fermentation) is widely available as a supplement in Western countries.<br>
For bone and cardiovascular health—and by extension, exploring potential anticancer benefits—doses for MK-7 commonly range from 90 to 200 micrograms per day.<br>
