Vitamin K1, K2 for Bone & Heart Health
Vitamin K, specifically, vitamin K2 in forms like menaquinone-4 and menaquinone-7, is good for maintaining bone density and strength. Vitamin K also facilitates healthy arterial calcium balance by helping your body bind the mineral calcium to your bones, which keeps it out of your bloodstream.

More About Vitamin K Supplements
What is vitamin K?
Vitamin K is an essential nutrient for optimal health that is especially beneficial for your heart and bones. Foods rich in vitamin K include dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, broccoli and lettuce, as well as blueberries, figs, cheese, eggs and soybeans. But diets rarely provide all the vitamin K your body needs, so a high-quality supplement is important.
What does vitamin K do?
Without enough vitamin K, your bones wouldn't be quite O-"K!" That's because your body needs vitamin K to produce prothrombin, an essential protein that helps support bone metabolism. Vitamin K also keeps bones strong by supporting calcium metabolism and promoting overall bone density.
How much vitamin K should I take?
Before incorporating a vitamin K supplement into your wellness routine, first speak with your health care provider about your individual health goals and consider taking a vitamin K1 blood test to assess your current levels. The recommended intake for vitamin K depends on your age and gender, but an all-in-one, supercharged vitamin K supplement delivers 2,000 mcg of vitamin K1, 1,500 mcg of K2 as well as trace amounts of MK-6, MK-7 and MK-9. No matter what vitamin K supplement you choose, make sure to follow the dosage on the bottle and not take more than what is recommended.
