Vitamin K2 90 mcg 60 capsules as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7)

Information of Vitamin K2 90 mcg 60 capsules as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7)

Many experts now believe that subclinical vitamin K deficiency – one that is not so severe that it impairs blood's ability to clot – may contribute to osteoporosis and other age-related diseases.

Vitamin K is the generic term for a group of fat-soluble compounds containing vitamins K1 and K2. Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is obtained in the diet from leafy greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and vegetable oils such as rapeseed and olive oil, and makes up 90% of our K intake. Vitamin K2 (a family of menaquinones), is produced in smaller amounts by bacteria in the digestive tract.

The last decade has seen a growing interest in the uses of vitamin K. Studies show the importance of regular vitamin K intake in order to achieve optimal calcium regulation.

Research has confirmed its use in the activation of K-dependent proteins (VDK), necessary for blood coagulation and other important processes such as bone metabolism, vascular health and regulation of cell growth and apoptosis.

Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting. It should be noted that in people under treatment with anticoagulants, vitamin K supplementation, or additional supplementation to that found in multinutrient formulas, should be supervised by a health professional.

This vitamin was discovered in 1930 by Danish researchers, who observed that newborn chickens fed a fat-free diet developed bleeding complications. They eventually solved the problem with an alfalfa-based compound they named vitamin K, for Koagulation (in Danish).
