Solgar Vitamina K2 (MK-7) 100 mcg - 50 Cápsulas Vegetales

What is vitamin K2 and why is it important?

Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, is a form of vitamin K that plays a key role in calcium metabolism. Unlike vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), found in green leafy vegetables, K2 is primarily found in fermented foods such as natto. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal blood clotting. Therefore, maintaining adequate levels of vitamin K2 is essential for long-term bone health.

Solgar presents its Vitamin K2 (MK-7) 100 mcg, naturally obtained from natto extract, a traditional fermented Japanese food. This presentation in vegetable capsules facilitates daily supplementation for those who wish to support their bone health.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Benefits of vitamin K2 for bone health

Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that helps fix calcium in the bone matrix. In this way, it helps maintain bone strength and density. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Studies suggest that an adequate intake of vitamin K2 can be especially beneficial in life stages where bone loss is more accelerated, such as during menopause or in older people.

In addition, vitamin K2 also intervenes in the regulation of calcium deposition in soft tissues, favoring that the mineral goes towards the bones and teeth. This makes it an essential nutrient for cardiovascular health, as it helps maintain arterial flexibility.

The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 has a longer half-life than MK-4, which allows for sustained release and greater bioavailability. This means that the body can better utilize this nutrient throughout the day.
