- AOR Vitamin K2, 60 Vegetable Capsules
Product Description
- Helps your bones use calcium more effectively
- Supports normal blood clotting and cardiovascular health
- Provides both MK-4 and MK-7 for greater effectiveness
Vitamin K2 from AOR is menatetrenone, a form of Vitamin K2 made in the body from phylloquinone (vitamin K1). Available science indicates that Vitamin K2 (menatetrenone) is superior to vitamin K1 in maintaining the health of the bones and vascular system. Clinical trials have proven that high-dose vitamin K2 does not cause excessive or abnormal blood clotting, although it will interfere with "blood thinning" medications.
The most popular albeit recently highlighted use for vitamin K2 is for bone health. Vitamin K, along with vitamin D, is essential for proper calcium absorption and usage in the bones. Vitamin K2 also stimulates the synthesis of proteins that regulate bone growth. Vitamin K2 has been shown to reduce the incidence of osteoporotic fractures and improve bone quality.
