VITAMIN K2 CAPSULES 90 pieces

The fat-soluble vitamin K is mainly needed for vital blood clotting in the human organism and also contributes to the development of healthy bones. By taking Vitamin K2 Mono you can ensure a balanced intake of vitamin K and thus easily compensate for phases of life with increased needs.

The term vitamin K covers a number of different substances. The most important are vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), which is obtained from green plants, and vitamin K2 (menaquinone), which is synthesized by bacteria. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin; it can only be absorbed into the human body with the help of the enzymes of the pancreas.

Vitamin K1 also requires bile acid, while vitamin K2 can be absorbed without it. On average, 20-70 percent of the vitamin in food is utilized, depending on which form of vitamin K is present and which fats are also involved in the absorption. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and poorly absorbed fat-soluble substances impair the absorption of vitamin K.

In the body, vitamin K is mainly stored in the liver, but in relatively small amounts. Even if the human organism can produce small amounts of vitamin K with its own intestinal flora, vitamin K is one of the essential nutrients. The main function of vitamin K is its contribution to normal blood clotting. Vitamin K contributes to the synthesis and activation of clotting factors and thus accelerates blood clotting. In addition, vitamin K is extremely important for maintaining normal bones. By activating osteocalcin and participating in calcium metabolism, vitamin K is directly involved in bone formation and bone health.

Vitamin K1 is mainly found in green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and some types of cabbage, sauerkraut, as well as in milk, butter and liver. Vitamin K2 is formed by microorganisms, including the bacteria in our own intestinal flora. Vitamin K is very stable and is only slightly affected by heat during cooking or long-term storage. However, it is sensitive to light, which can inactivate the vitamin.

A vitamin K deficiency is very unlikely with a balanced diet, as it is found in many foods and can also be produced in the intestines. The vitamin K supply is only too low in newborns, as breast milk contains very little vitamin K and the production from the body's own intestinal flora is not yet sufficient. In order to prevent an increased tendency to bleed, infants are therefore usually given preventive doses of vitamin K.

However, a vitamin K deficiency can be caused by disorders in the way it is used, for example by certain diseases (chronic liver or gastrointestinal diseases) or by taking medication (antibiotics). A lack of vitamin K increases the tendency to bleed, which significantly lengthens the blood's clotting time.

Bone health can also be affected by a vitamin K deficiency. Too much vitamin K intake is generally not dangerous, as even higher doses are not toxic and are well tolerated.

Vitamin K2 Mono contains the easily absorbed form menaquinone (vitamin K2) and can therefore ensure a balanced intake of vitamin K.
