Vitamin K

Did you know that multiple vitamin K types exist?

Vitamin K designates a fat-soluble vitamin group supporting healthy bone density, promoting arterial wellness, and supporting comprehensive cardiovascular health. Each vitamin K type promotes our wellness through distinct mechanisms.

Benefits of vitamin K

Research has demonstrated vitamin K can:

Fortify bones, decreasing fracture risk
Reduce diabetes development risk
Support brain wellness
Decrease inflammation
Promote a healthy cardiovascular system

Vitamin K1

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) represents the most prevalent vitamin K form.
It's synthesized by plants and concentrates most abundantly in green leafy vegetables, kale, spinach, and broccoli.
Vitamin K proves essential to the circulatory system: without it, the liver cannot produce molecules ensuring blood coagulation

Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 (menaquinones) comprises several related subtypes, with menaquinone-4 (MK-4), menaquinone-7 (MK-7), and Menaquinone 9 (MK-9) being the most extensively researched forms.
Vitamin K2 is present in dairy, fermented foods, and animal products.
It has been found demonstrating up to 6 times greater bioavailability than K1 while remaining active in your body for extended periods.
Vitamin K2 proves essential for bone mineralization, calcium binding, and bone deposition processes, supporting healthy bone density maintenance.
It has also been demonstrated to defend against cardiovascular disease. It activates matrix Gla protein, a vitamin K-dependent protein preventing calcium from penetrating soft tissues, including arterial walls and creating calcified plaques. Consequently, this enhances comprehensive cardiovascular wellness.
