The Claim
Menaquinone-7 supplementation at a dosage of 45 μg/day for 8 weeks is safe and well-tolerated in healthy prepubertal children, with no reported adverse events and compliance rates of at least 70% based on capsule return and diary records.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking 45 micrograms of menaquinone-7 daily for 8 weeks did not cause any adverse effects in healthy children before puberty, and most children took the supplement as directed.

A daily vitamin K2 pill is absorbed from the gut and travels to the bones, where it helps change a bone protein so it can bind calcium properly. This change does not disturb blood clotting or cause any harmful reactions in the body, and children take the pill consistently without side effects.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave kids a daily vitamin K2 pill for two months and found no harmful side effects, and their bodies responded the way scientists expected — meaning the kids likely took the pills and stayed healthy.
