Vitamin K

Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that is important for blood clotting. It is also a vital mineral in supporting a healthy heart, bones and immune system.

This vital vitamin activates proteins that help move calcium into the bones. This is essential for bone strength, bone density and circulatory health through the regulation of calcium. Vitamin K2 keeps calcium moving through the body and assists in the depositing of calcium into bone mass, rather than into the arteries which can cause hardening.

The importance of supplementation

Historically, vitamin K supplementation has been ignored as a dietary supplement, because it was believed adequate levels were present in the diet.

This is true for vitamin K1, but vitamin K2 can be difficult to source from our western diets. Typically, this vitamin only provides 25% of the NRV of 75ug, especially if you don’t eat many animal products or fermented foods. For example, you would need to eat 200g of cheese to get your daily requirement!

Who Needs Vitamin K?

Taking this vitamin as a teenager can help safeguard against bone and cardiovascular issues in later life. The elderly are also likely to benefit as they have elevated risks of both losing bone density and cardiovascular health risks. However, many of us have a need to elevate levels of vitamin K2. Currently, 1 in 3 people are estimated to have vitamin K deficiency.

Taking this vitamin is especially important for post-menopausal women. This is because falling levels of the hormone oestrogen can lead to a loss of bone density. Which can lead to an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Vitamin K is not the only vital vitamin we need. Our modern diets are also commonly high in calcium. Which is crucial for rebuilding bone. Vitamin K2, along with vitamin D and magnesium ensures that this calcium is used effectively within the body.

Magnesium and vitamin D are needed to aid calcium absorption while vitamin K2 ensures the calcium is correctly deposited where it is required, into the bones and not the arteries.
