Vitamin K Complex is a full-spectrum vitamin K supplement. It combines vitamin K1 and two biologically active forms of vitamin K2 (MK-4 and MK-7). These forms work synergistically in the body. They have distinct bio-activities and each provide unique benefits.*
Vitamin K2 is needed throughout the body to activate vitamin K-dependent proteins, which help get calcium to where it's needed and prevent it from depositing where it shouldn’t be.*
Taking daily ensures you’re getting enough of this essential vitamin for cardiovascular health, bones, and mitochondrial energy production.*
Bone Strength
Vitamin K is shown to help maintain bone density and strength. It is essential for the absorption of calcium into bones. Vitamin K2 also activates bone building cells called osteoblasts and inhibits bone break-down cells called osteoclasts. This facilitates the natural balance of bone remodeling to maintain bone strength.*
Arterial Health
Vitamin K2 activates a protein called matrix GLa which transports calcium out of soft tissues, including arteries. This promotes better arterial flexibility and function. Individuals with higher vitamin K2 intake have been shown to have better cardiovascular health.*
Vitamin K for Optimum Health
Vitamin K is also important for kidney health, pancreas health, energy production, immunity, and metabolism. Supplementing with Vitamin K Complex is a great way to ensure you're getting enough of this important vitamin for vitality and wellness.*
