Vitakruid Vitamin K2 100 mcg
Vitamin K2 100 mcg from Vitakruid

Western food mainly contains vitamin K1, which is found in plants (particularly green tea, algae and green vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, parsley and cabbage). We get sufficient amounts of this form of vitamin K through our diet. Vitamin K2, also called menaquinone, is produced by bacteria and can be found in very small quantities in dairy, meat and eggs. This makes vegetarians and vegans susceptible to a lowered status.

Vitamin K2 has more uses than vitamin K1
However, the assumption that vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 are forms of vitamin K is starting to look like a misconception. Several scientists suggest that K1 and K2 are so different that they should be seen as two separate nutrients. The vitamins both play a role in blood clotting factors, but the differences seem to overshadow the similarities. Supplementation with vitamin K2 therefore has more health-promoting effects than supplementation with K1.

K2 in the most absorbable form menaquinone-7 (MK-7)
Vitamin K2 exists in no fewer than ten forms, MK-4 to MK-14. We only use the most absorbable form menaquinone-7 (MK-7). This is not only the most absorbable form, but also the form with the longest half-life. This is the measure of the duration during which a nutrient remains active in our body. For example, vitamin K1 only has a half-life of one to two hours. The nutrient cannot reach all tissues in that time period. Vitamin K2 menaquinone-7 has a half-life of over 72 hours, during which the organicly active nutrient reaches the blood vessels, bone tissue and all organs in our body!

High dosage of 100 mcg per tablet
Most vitamin K2 supplements have a dosage of 45 mcg per tablet. This is far too low a dosage. Many therapies use K2 doses of up to 1000 mcg per day! If you have a supplement with a dosage of 45 mcg K2 per tablet, you would have to take about twenty tablets per day. This is an almost impossible task, especially for people who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
