Bluebonnet Vitamina K1 100 mcg – Filoquinona Cristalina – 100 Cápsulas Veganas

What is vitamin K1 and why is it important?

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is the form of vitamin K found naturally in plants, especially in leafy green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale. This fat-soluble nutrient plays a fundamental role in the body, being essential for normal blood clotting and the maintenance of healthy bones. Bluebonnet Vitamin K1 100 mcg provides a precise dose of crystalline phylloquinone in convenient vegan caplets, ideal for those seeking a pure and allergen-free supplement.

EFSA-endorsed benefits

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claims for vitamin K:

• Normal blood clotting: Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting.
• Bone maintenance: Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

These claims are supported by extensive scientific evidence. Each Bluebonnet caplet provides 100 mcg of vitamin K1, equivalent to 100% of the reference intake (RI) for adults in the European Union, helping to easily meet daily needs.

How to take vitamin K1 correctly?

Vitamin K1 is fat-soluble, which means it is better absorbed when consumed with healthy fats. It is recommended to take one caplet daily, preferably with the main meal that contains some fat (olive oil, nuts, avocado, etc.). Each package contains 100 caplets, enough for more than three months of regular use. The product is suitable for vegans, does not contain gluten, soy, dairy, or GMOs, and is Kosher certified.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Vitamin K1 is generally safe at recommended doses. However, people taking anticoagulant medications (such as warfarin or acenocoumarol) should consult their doctor before starting supplementation, as vitamin K can interfere with the action of these drugs. No significant adverse effects have been reported with doses up to 100 mcg per day, but it is always advisable not to exceed the indicated dose.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) comes from plant sources and is the primary form involved in blood clotting. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is produced by bacteria and found in fermented foods and animal products; it is more associated with bone and cardiovascular health. Both types are important, but K1 is the most common form in the diet and the one used in most supplements.

Who should take vitamin K1 supplements?

People with restrictive diets (vegans, vegetarians), older adults who may have reduced absorption, or those seeking to ensure adequate intake for bone health and coagulation. It is always preferable to obtain nutrients from food, but a supplement like Bluebonnet Vitamin K1 can be a practical option to meet daily needs.

Can I take vitamin K1 with other supplements?

Yes, vitamin K1 is often combined with vitamin D3 and calcium for comprehensive bone support. No negative interactions with other vitamins or minerals are known at usual doses. As always, consult a healthcare professional if you are taking multiple supplements.
