NaturesPlus Source of Life Garden Vitamin K2 - 60 Capsules - Healthy Bone Support - Organic, Vegan, Gluten-Free

What is vitamin K2 and why is it important?

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for the body. There are two main forms: vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), found in green leafy vegetables, and vitamin K2 (menaquinone), found in fermented foods and animal products. NaturesPlus Source of Life Garden Vitamin K2 provides menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the most bioavailable and long-acting form. This vitamin plays a crucial role in bone metabolism by activating proteins such as osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to bones. When choosing a vitamin K2 supplement, opting for plant-based, certified organic MK-7 ensures optimal absorption and a clean profile.

Benefits of vitamin K2 for bone health

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin K2, in particular, activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, promoting bone density and strength. In addition, it helps direct calcium to the bones and teeth, preventing its accumulation in soft tissues. This mechanism is especially relevant for people who want to maintain a healthy bone structure over time. Combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, vitamin K2 can be a valuable ally for bone health.

Key ingredients: Plant-based Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7)

NaturesPlus Source of Life Garden Vitamin K2 is distinguished by its whole food-based formula. Each capsule contains 100 mcg of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), obtained from certified organic vegetable extracts.
