Vitamina K1 en Polvo, 100 g (3.5 oz)

What is Vitamin K1 and why is it important?

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is an essential fat-soluble vitamin found naturally in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale. It plays a fundamental role in the synthesis of proteins involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism. Our Vitamin K1 powder supplement offers a concentrated and easy-to-incorporate form into your daily routine, especially useful if your diet does not provide sufficient amounts or if you are looking for specific support for your cardiovascular and bone health.

Benefits of Vitamin K1 endorsed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claims for vitamin K:

• Normal blood clotting: Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting, helping to maintain proper functioning of the circulatory system.
• Maintenance of bones: Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, promoting bone mineralization.

These benefits are backed by decades of scientific research and make Vitamin K1 a key nutrient for people of all ages, especially for older adults or those with restrictive diets.

How to take Vitamin K1 powder correctly?

Our powder format offers great flexibility. The recommended dose is 10 mg per day (approximately one scoop), which you can mix with water, juice, smoothies, or even incorporate into your meals. For optimal absorption, take it with a source of healthy fat, such as olive oil, avocado, or nuts, as Vitamin K1 is fat-soluble.

It is important not to exceed the recommended dose and to store the product in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. If you are taking any medication, especially anticoagulants, consult your doctor before starting supplementation.

Difference between Vitamin K1 and K2

The question often arises about the differences between Vitamin K1 and K2. K1 (phylloquinone) is the predominant form in plants and plays a crucial role in blood clotting. K2 (menaquinone) is found in fermented foods and animal products, and is more associated with long-term bone and cardiovascular health. Both types are important, but K1 is the most common form in supplements and is especially relevant for liver function and clotting.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Vitamin K1 is generally safe and well-tolerated at recommended doses. However, people taking anticoagulants such as warfarin should be cautious, as vitamin K can interfere with the action of these medications. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional before using this supplement if you are undergoing anticoagulant treatment. Its use is not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical supervision.
