Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?

Both are important, but K1 is the predominant form in the diet.

Who should take vitamin K1? People with diets low in leafy green vegetables, older adults, or those looking to support bone health and normal clotting. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Does it interact with medications? Yes, especially with anticoagulants such as warfarin. Vitamin K can interfere with their effect, so it is crucial to maintain a constant intake and under medical supervision.
