Vitamina K1 500 mcg, 100 comprimidos sublinguales

What is vitamin K1?

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for the body. It is naturally found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale. This supplement provides 500 mcg per tablet, a dose higher than the recommended daily intake, in a practical sublingual presentation that facilitates its absorption. Vitamin K1 plays a key role in fundamental processes such as blood clotting and the maintenance of bone structure, as recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

What makes this vitamin K1 supplement special?

This product stands out for its sublingual format: the tablets dissolve directly under the tongue, allowing for rapid and effective absorption without the need for water. It is an especially convenient option for elderly people or those with difficulty swallowing. In addition, each tablet provides 500 mcg of pure vitamin K1, without unnecessary additives, manufactured under strict quality controls in a family facility with more than two decades of experience in the sector.

Benefits backed by EFSA

Health claims approved by EFSA support the following benefits of vitamin K1:

• Normal blood clotting: Vitamin K1 contributes to normal blood clotting, an essential process for wound healing and preventing bleeding.
• Maintenance of bones: Vitamin K1 contributes to the maintenance of bones under normal conditions, favoring the fixation of calcium in the bone matrix.

These effects are based on the role of vitamin K as a cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent proteins, such as prothrombin (coagulation) and osteocalcin (bones).

How to take vitamin K1 correctly?

The recommended dose is one sublingual tablet per day, preferably with a meal containing some fat to optimize its absorption, as it is fat-soluble. Place the tablet under the tongue and wait for it to dissolve completely. It is not necessary to swallow it with water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Consult a healthcare professional before starting consumption if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing medical treatment.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Vitamin K1 is generally safe at recommended doses. However, people undergoing treatment with oral anticoagulants (such as warfarin or acenocoumarol) should consult their doctor before taking any vitamin K supplement, as it may interfere with the action of these medications. In case of allergy to any of the ingredients, discontinue use. If you experience any adverse reaction, consult a healthcare professional.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take this supplement with other supplements?

Yes, as long as you do not exceed the recommended doses. Vitamin K1 is often combined with vitamin D3 and calcium for comprehensive bone support. If you take other supplements, consult your doctor to avoid duplication.

Is it suitable for older people?

Yes, the sublingual format is especially useful for older people with difficulty swallowing. In addition, vitamin K1 helps maintain bone health, an important aspect in old age.

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) comes mainly from plant sources and is essential for clotting. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is found in fermented and animal foods, and is more associated with bone and cardiovascular health. Both are important, but fulfill complementary functions.
