Carlson K Complete, Vitamin K1 & K2 (MK-4 & MK-7), 45 Soft Gels

What is Vitamin K?

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for the body. It comes in various forms: vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), found in green leafy vegetables, and vitamin K2 (menaquinone), which includes the MK-4 and MK-7 forms, the latter being of bacterial origin. The Carlson K Complete supplement combines these three forms to offer a complete supply that the diet alone can hardly cover.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or a healthy lifestyle.

Benefits of Vitamin K

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. These functions are essential for cardiovascular and bone health. Carlson K Complete, with its three distinct forms, helps ensure an adequate supply to support these physiological processes.

In addition, vitamin K2 in its MK-4 and MK-7 forms has been linked to the regulation of calcium in the body, promoting its deposition in bones rather than in soft tissues. However, it is important to remember that supplements do not replace a balanced diet.

Key Ingredients

Carlson K Complete provides vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 in its MK-4 and MK-7 forms per softgel capsule. The combination of these three forms seeks to maximize absorption and duration of effect in the body. For the exact amount of each form, please consult the product label.

• Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone): predominant form in the diet, especially in green leafy vegetables. Participates in the activation of clotting proteins.
• Vitamin K2 as MK-4: present in small amounts in animal products, such as liver and egg yolk. It has a short half-life but high biological activity.
• Vitamin K2 as MK-7: obtained from the fermentation of soybeans (natto), it is characterized by a prolonged half-life, which allows stable blood levels with a single daily dose. Its bioavailability is superior to that of other forms.

The quality and potency of the product are guaranteed by the manufacturer, complying with purity and concentration standards.

How to choose the best Vitamin K for you?

When selecting a vitamin K supplement, it is important to consider the form and dosage. The combination of K1, MK-4 and MK-7 provides a complete profile similar to that of a varied diet. Carlson K Complete is designed for people who want a balanced intake of the three main forms.

If you are taking anticoagulants (such as warfarin), consult your doctor before starting any vitamin K supplement, as it may interfere with medication. Likewise, it is advisable to inform your healthcare professional about any supplements you are taking.
