VITAMIN K

Vitamin K belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins. This means that the vitamin must be dissolved in fat during digestion to be absorbed into the body otherwise it smokes directly out again.

Vitamin K comes in three forms:

1. Vitamin K1, which is called phytonadione. This form is found in green plants and rich sources including: cabbage, broccoli, spinach and avocado.
2. The second form is, vitamin K2 is formed in intestinal bacteria and it is called menaquinone.
3. The third and final form is a synthetic of vitamin K, which is not recommended to use as a supplement.

Vitamin K contributes to normal blood coagulation and maintenance of normal bones - it works especially well with vitamin D3 in relation to bone health.

VITAVIVA uses vitamin K in our VITAMAX multivitamin, VITAMULTI multivitamin and D3 m K2.
