The power of vitamin K2 and geranylgeraniol (GG) for bone health*
Osteo Tri-K™ features 45 mg of vitamin K2 (as MK‑4) — the research-backed amount shown to promote bone strength and arterial health.* It supports the normal bone remodeling process in women and men, which can be disrupted by hormonal changes and aging, including during menopause and andropause.* Vitamin K2 helps activate the bone-building protein that binds calcium and helps move it into our bones and teeth (where we want it), instead of being deposited into our arteries.* MK-4 is the preferred and most abundant form of vitamin K2 in humans.* This formula is complemented by GG, a building block of vitamin K2 (as MK-4) and is added to promote its production.*

What This Product Is
Osteo Tri-K™ is Designs for Health’s most advanced vitamin K2 formula, targeting bone health with clinically studied ingredients. It features 45 mg of vitamin K2 (as MK-4), the research-backed amount shown to promote bone strength, arterial health, and help support the normal bone remodeling process in women and men — a process that can be adversely affected by hormones and aging, such as during menopause and andropause.*
The formula also includes 1,000 mcg of vitamin K1 (phytonadione) and 30 mg of trans-geranylgeraniol (as GG-Gold®). There are two forms of vitamin K essential for health: vitamin K1, primarily found in dark leafy greens, and vitamin K2 (as MK-4), found only in animal-based, nose-to-tail foods like grass-fed butter and meats, full-fat cheeses, and pastured eggs. MK-4 is the preferred and most abundant form of vitamin K2 in humans. BRF 45™ may provide nutritional support for individuals who are at risk of bone loss, bone fracture, arterial stiffness, and other relevant conditions in which high amounts of vitamin K may be beneficial.*
Mechanism of Action
Bone-Building Protein Activation
Vitamin K2 is an essential fat-soluble vitamin needed for normal blood clotting and activation of bone-building proteins. It helps activate osteocalcin, the bone-building protein that binds calcium and helps move it into bones and teeth — where it is needed — instead of being deposited into arteries. Vitamin K2 also helps promote the bone remodeling process.*
Arterial Health
By directing calcium into bones and away from arterial walls, vitamin K2 promotes arterial elasticity and integrity. This dual role — supporting bone mineralization while maintaining arterial flexibility — makes vitamin K2 relevant for comprehensive musculoskeletal and cardiovascular support.*
Geranylgeraniol and Vitamin K2 Production
Geranylgeraniol (GG) is a building block of vitamin K2 and is included to promote the body’s own vitamin K2 (as MK-4) production. The combination of exogenous vitamin K2 with its biosynthetic precursor GG provides comprehensive support for vitamin K2-dependent pathways.*
Applications
- Individuals seeking to support optimal bone health, strength, and the bone remodeling process*
- Those looking to promote arterial elasticity and integrity*
- Women and men experiencing hormonal changes that may adversely affect bone remodeling (menopause, andropause)*
- Individuals at risk of bone loss, bone fracture, or arterial stiffness*
- Those taking certain medications that may increase demand for vitamin K and geranylgeraniol*
Key Ingredients / Formula Highlights
