Results from our previous study (NCT00642551) showed significant changes in vascular characteristics, pulse wave velocity after a 3 year intervention period with a daily dosage of 180 µg MK-7 in 240 postmenopausal women. After 1 year MK-7 intervention inactive MGP levels (improvement of vascular vitamin K status) were decreased 50% compared to placebo and remained at this level during the following 2 years of intervention.
