Superior Source Vitamina K1 100 mcg - 30 Comprimidos Sublinguales

What is Vitamin K1 and why is it important?

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for the body. It is found naturally in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale. Its main function is related to blood clotting and bone health. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved claims stating that vitamin K contributes to normal blood coagulation and the maintenance of normal bones. This Superior Source supplement offers 100 mcg of vitamin K1 per sublingual tablet, facilitating its absorption without the need for water.

Benefits endorsed by EFSA

EFSA supports two key health claims for vitamin K:

• Normal blood coagulation: Vitamin K is necessary for the synthesis of proteins involved in coagulation, helping to maintain an adequate hemostatic process.
• Bone maintenance: Vitamin K participates in the activation of osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, contributing to bone density and strength.

These benefits are scientifically recognized and are the basis for the inclusion of vitamin K1 in a balanced diet. Our supplement provides a precise dose to support these functions.

How to take sublingual Vitamin K1?

Superior Source sublingual tablets dissolve quickly under the tongue, allowing direct absorption through the oral mucosa. This bypasses the digestive system and can be especially useful for people with swallowing difficulties, such as older adults. The recommended dose is one tablet daily, preferably with a fat-containing meal to optimize absorption, as vitamin K is fat-soluble. Each tablet contains 100 mcg, the reference daily intake in the European Union.

Who can benefit from this supplement?

This product is intended for adults who wish to maintain normal blood coagulation and healthy bones. It is especially suitable for:

• Older adults looking to support bone health and mobility.
• Individuals with restrictive diets, such as vegans or those with low intake of green leafy vegetables.
• Those who wish to supplement their diet to ensure an adequate intake of vitamin K1.

The sublingual format and standard dose make it a practical option for daily use. Superior Source has been manufacturing its products in a family-owned facility since 1998, ensuring quality and experience.

Precautions and contraindications

Although vitamin K1 is safe at recommended doses, it is important to take certain precautions. People taking anticoagulants such as warfarin should consult their doctor before using this supplement, as vitamin K can interfere with the action of these medications. Also, the indicated daily dose should not be exceeded. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before taking any supplement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is found mainly in plants and is used for blood clotting and bone health. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) comes from animal and fermented sources and has a longer half-life, also acting on cardiovascular health. Both types are important and can complement each other, but K1 is the predominant form in the diet.

Can I take this supplement with other products?

In general, yes, but if you are already taking vitamin K supplements or anticoagulants, consult your doctor. For most people, it is safe to combine it with a balanced diet and other supplements such as vitamin D3 or calcium, which work synergistically with vitamin K.

How are sublingual tablets stored?

Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature, protected from direct light. Keep the bottle tightly closed to avoid moisture.
