Specifications:
- Ingredients: Vitamin K2 MK-4. That's it.
- Excipients: none.
- Source Material: Derived from geraniol, however because of the chemical reactions and transformations involved, this is considered a synthetic product (as opposed to an extract).
- County of Origin: China (why China?)
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) available online with every order (why the COA? | view COAs)
- Bottled in an amber glass jar for protection from UV light (why amber?)
- with a Black Phenol Formaldehyde Resin (PF or Phenolic) plastic cap (why the plastic cap?)
- and a Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Cone Liner to create a seal (why the plastic liner?)
- All bottle components are made in the USA
- Bottle dimensions: 1 x 1.8 in (25 x 46 mm) (diameter x height)
- Bottle weight w/ contents: 0.85 oz (24 g)

Product changes:
Feb 19, 2024: Changed our bottle seal again, to a red tamper sticker that's more sticky.
Sept 21, 2024: Changed our bottle seal from a heat shrink wrap to a printed sticker label. The heat required to properly shrink the heat shrink wrap was causing the minisucle amount of water in the powder to evaporate out. Upon drying, the contents formed a hard "cookie" of powder.

Oil Dilution Guidelines (updated Jan 13, 2025):
Droppers and oils vary as well as how you use the dropper. In our view, setting a standard baseline of drop weight, then using a weight ratio of VK2 to Oil makes the most sense. See our blog post about our drop experiments.

- We use glass containers for storage and packaging, although caps and seals are usually made from silicone, plastic, rubber, or LDPE.
- We use amber colored glass or wrap clear glass to block UV rays from reaching contents.
- We store bulk powder sealed in the freezer.

Quotes about vitamin k
"...aged cheese or well cooked greens are ordinary foods that are good sources [of vitamin k2]" - Dr. Raymond Peat, Generative Energy Podcast #31 @ 53:11
"[Protein S and C] are made under the influence of vitamin k in the liver and they are the anticoagulant factors dependent on vitamin k. So people who have excess clotting problems are sometimes told to avoid vitamin K, but if you haven't measured the proteins S and C, it might be the worst thing to do is to avoid vitamin K because vitamin K is required for the normal resolution of stimulated clotting." - Dr. Raymond Peat, Generative Energy Podcast #31 @ 53:20
"I think every other day a serving of well-cooked kale will give enough vitamin K. But the Japanese have treated osteoporosis and hardening of arteries with does of vitamin k that were 500 times the normal dietary requirement."- Dr. Raymond Peat, KMUD 2011-07-15 @ 54:43
"...it [vitamin k] is right at the center of the regulation of calcium, it protects your arteries from calcification and it allows the bones to use carbon dioxide, it carboxylates the proteins that bind calcium into the bone. So you're protecting your arteries and building your bones when you have adequate vitamin k. And both aspirin and vitamin k are known practical bone-building supplements."- Dr. Raymond Peat, KMUD 2015-07-11 @ 53:29
"It [vitamin k] puts it into your bones and keeps it from going in your arteries." - Dr. Raymond Peat, KMUD 2014-01-17 @ 52:39
"So not everyone experiences this, but if you have taken antibiotics and have a deficiency of the type of bacteria that produces vitamin k in your intestine, then you're susceptible to aspirin's knocking out of this vitamin k dependent clotting protein. So just as insurance, it's good to have a source of vitamin K in your diet." - Dr. Raymond Peat, Generative Energy Podcast #31 @ 52:44

Mk4 powder
I started taking aspirin in the hopes of improving my overall health. Eventually I started feeling pressure in my brain, Lightheadedness and nausea. I believe i was deficient in vitamin k and aspirin exacerbated it. Using larks vit k has helped improve my symptoms and I'm hopeful that I can reintroduce aspirin in the future. Would love a combination mk4 and mk7 formulation. Would buy again.

Excellent Product
By far the most effective K2 product I have tried. I am sensitive to excipients and I feel great every time I take it. Helps raise my body temperature/sleep through the night.

Awesomeness
Totally blown away by the effort lark supply has put in for sourcing, testing and packaging this product. Totally transparent and extremely thoughtful with every step. I wish every vendor was like this. Postage was quick (even to Australia). The cute little amber jars have a cool aesthetic and a solid feel. The powder looks quality. Finishing off some other vit K so I haven't tried it yet, though my online buddies are finding it to be excellent. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to any other products you bring to the market.
