What is Vitamin K?

Vitamin K is an essential vitamin, of the liposolube type, whose main contributions to our health are:

•  Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting.

Types of Vitamin K

There are 3 types of vitamin K:

•  Vitamin K1: also known as phylloquine, it comes from green vegetables and legumes. The extraction of this vitamin from vegetables by our bodies is quite poor - it is estimated that the percentage of utilisation is around 10%.
•  Vitamin K2: also known as menaquinone, and is the type with the highest absorption rate. Sources of vitamin K2 are animal foods and fermented foods. There are several subtypes of K2, such as MK-4 and MK-7.
•  Vitamin K3: is of artificial origin and is injected into newborns.

Vitamin K2 (MK-7) as the best form of Vitamin K

Vitamin K2 which provides Vitamin K2 (MK-7) + Vitamin C is considered the best option when choosing a source of Vitamin K. It is of the Menaquinone-7 type.

The difference in absorption of K2 versus K1 is due to the fact that vitamin K2 is a fermentation product from bacteria (K2 is found in fermented dairy products), and that unlike in other animals, such as ruminants, the conversion of K1 to K2 is not effective in humans.
