Vitamin K - Page 2

Vitamin K supplements come in various forms to suit your needs and preferences. These supplements provide essential nutrients for several bodily functions, including bone health, blood clotting, and cardiovascular well-being.

Different Forms of Vitamin K Supplements:

• Capsules, Tablets, Softgels & Gelcaps: These convenient options offer pre-measured doses of vitamin K, typically containing either:
• Liquid & Oil: Easier to swallow for some, these forms provide concentrated vitamin K.

Natural vs. Synthetic:

• Natural Vitamin K: Derived from plant sources like alfalfa or soybeans (Vitamin K1) or produced by bacteria during food fermentation (Vitamin K2, MK-7).
• Synthetic Vitamin K: Lab-produced versions that mimic the natural structure, often used in supplements (Vitamin K1 - Phytonadione).

Important Considerations:

• Consult your doctor before taking any supplements, especially if you have underlying health conditions or take medications that interact with Vitamin K, such as blood thinners.
• Daily Dosage: Recommended daily intake varies based on age and individual needs.
• Dietary Sources: Consider incorporating Vitamin K-rich foods like leafy greens, broccoli, and fermented foods into your diet alongside supplements for a comprehensive approach to wellness.
