About vitamin K

Vitamin K is an essential nutrient in the group of fat-soluble vitamins. Several forms of vitamin K exist. Vitamin K1 and K2 are co-factors, meaning they ‘facilitate’ metabolic processes. In addition to healthy blood coagulation, newer research indicates bone, blood vessel and immune health are associated with vitamin K levels in men and women. Healthy bones and circulation influence quality of life and longevity.*

Vitamin K1 is found in plant foods (e.g. spinach, broccoli) and functions primarily in the liver, where it is involved with blood coagulation, or clotting. For example, when someone cuts themselves (e.g. shaving), vitamin K1 is involved with the metabolic response that stops the bleeding. Vitamin K1 levels are also associated with healthy vascular function and heart health.*

Vitamin K2 is found in animal foods, primarily dairy sources. Vitamin K2 functions in the liver and other tissues. Vitamin K2 promotes strong bones and overall bone health as well as healthy vascular and immune function in the young and elderly.*

We offer 1.5 mg of vitamin K in vegetarian capsules.
