MASON NATURAL Vitamina K1, 100 mcg, 100 Comprimidos

What is vitamin K1?

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for the body. It is found naturally in leafy green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale. This MASON NATURAL supplement provides 100 mcg of vitamin K1 per tablet, an adequate dose to supplement daily intake.

Vitamin K1 plays a key role in the synthesis of proteins that regulate blood clotting and bone metabolism. As it is fat-soluble, it is better absorbed when consumed with foods containing healthy fats.

Benefits endorsed by the EFSA

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. These claims are supported by scientific evidence and are the only ones authorized for this nutrient in the European Union.

Including vitamin K1 in the diet helps to keep vitamin-dependent proteins, such as osteocalcin and coagulation proteins, active. The dose of 100 mcg per tablet of this supplement meets the daily recommendations for adults (90-120 mcg according to the European RDA).

How to take vitamin K1?

The recommended dose is one tablet daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to optimize its absorption. Do not exceed the indicated dose. Each container contains 100 tablets, enough for more than three months of continuous use.

This supplement is suitable for people with vegetarian or vegan diets (the tablets do not contain ingredients of animal origin). In addition, it is gluten-free and soy-free, which makes it suitable for people with sensitivity to these components.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Vitamin K1 is generally safe at recommended doses. No significant adverse effects have been reported with the intake of up to 100 mcg daily. However, people taking anticoagulants such as warfarin should consult their doctor before taking vitamin K supplements, as it may interfere with the action of the medication.

This product should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?
Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is the main form found in plants and focuses on clotting and bone health. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is found in fermented foods and plays a more prolonged role in bone and cardiovascular metabolism. Both are important, but K1 is the most common form in supplements.

Who should take vitamin K1?
Older people, individuals with restrictive diets (low in green vegetables), or those who wish to support their bone and circulatory health. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Can I take it with vitamin D3?
Yes, vitamin D3 and K1 are often combined because D3 promotes calcium absorption and K1 helps direct it to the bones, although this synergy is more studied with vitamin K2. Consult your doctor for a personalized recommendation.
