Vitamin K Complex for Better Bones and Healthy Heart
Vitamin K is necessary for blood clotting. However, what many do not know is that it also refers to a group of vitamins that provide other health benefits. As a fat-soluble vitamin, there are two types of Vitamin K–K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 is called phylloquinone that is found in many green and leafy vegetables while Vitamin K2 is commonly found in fermented food products. While Vitamin K1 and K2 are sourced from food, it is crucial to supplement especially to get adequate amounts of K2 especially among individuals who do not consume fermented food products. Moreover, these Vitamins may not be readily available if sourced from food because they are bound to fibers and other molecules.

Promotes Heart Health
Several clinical trials suggest that Vitamin K play a vital role in maintaining a healthy heart and bones. When it comes to providing healthy bones, it can facilitate the transport of Calcium to the bones. Deficiency of Vitamin K can lead to the Calcium buildup within the artery as the blood can bind to the walls of the artery causing calcification. While the body gets Vitamin K1 and K2 from food, poor uptake of such vitamin can occur during the advanced age. This is the reason why supplementation of Vitamin K Complex is necessary.
