Steve, when you read about generic vitamin K, that's phylloquinone, or vitamin K1, which vegetarians have usually no problem to ingest in adequate amounts. The label 'vitamin K2' includes a numbero of molecules calle Menaquinones, from MK4 to MK9 and higher. Their effects are important mainly because they allocate free calcium in the bones and where necessary. Plus other beneficial effects.
Natto contains by far the highest concentration of K2 in the form of MK7
The Kefir-Twarog I'm making should contain K2 in the range from MK4 to MK9 but mainly MK9.
But I'm also taking supplements extracted from Natto, since here I've no access to natto itself.
