Newborns face vitamin K deficiency risks due to poor placental transport because of the mother not having enough nutrients during pregnancy, low birth stores, and immature gut bacteria that normally produce vitamin K. MK4 and MK7 forms of vitamin K2 serve different roles in infant development—MK4 supports brain myelination and is critical for lasting bone health benefits, though MK4 has more established clinical evidence for bone density improvement.
