Vitamin K is a dietary supplement used to promote overall wellness, including antioxidant activity, cardiovascular function, and bone and joint health. Vitamin K is available in softgels from Natura-Genics®.
How It Works
This vitamin K supplement contains vitamin K2, (menaquinone-7) extracted from natto. Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans and has been linked to several health benefits. While vitamin K1 is mostly known for its role in blood clotting, vitamin K2 is often considered superior to K1 due to its specific roles in bone and heart health, longer half-life (stays active in the body for longer), better tissue distribution, and greater bioavailability.
Promotes Cardiovascular Health
Vitamin K supports heart health by helping maintain healthy calcium balance in the body. It plays a role in supporting proteins that contribute to normal calcium distribution, which helps keep arteries and other tissues functioning properly. Some studies have found a link between vitamin K and the production of matrix Gla proteins, which is what may help prevent calcification.
Promotes Bone Health
Vitamin K contributes to bone health by assisting in calcium metabolism. It helps activate proteins involved in bone formation and maintenance, supporting strong, healthy bones. Vitamin K2, in particular, is known for helping direct calcium to areas where it is needed, such as the bones.
