Superior Source Vitamina K2 500 mcg MK-4 - Tabletas sublinguales - 60 unidades

What is Vitamin K2 MK-4?

Vitamin K2 is a form of vitamin K essential for the body. Specifically, menaquinone-4 (MK-4) is the most active and fast-acting variant. This Superior Source supplement offers 500 mcg per sublingual tablet, designed for optimal absorption. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones, according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Benefits endorsed by the EFSA

Approved health claims for vitamin K include:

• Normal blood clotting: Vitamin K activates proteins that regulate clot formation.
• Bone maintenance: It promotes calcium binding in the bone matrix, contributing to a healthy bone structure.

These benefits are backed by the EFSA, which ensures that the information is reliable and based on scientific evidence.

How to take sublingual tablets?

Superior Source sublingual tablets are placed under the tongue and dissolve rapidly, allowing for direct absorption into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system and may improve bioavailability. The recommended dose is one tablet daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. For optimal absorption, take with or without food.

Difference between vitamin K1 and K2

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is mainly found in leafy green vegetables and is crucial for clotting. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is produced in smaller quantities in the body and is found in fermented foods and animal products. MK-4 is a short-acting but very active form of K2. While K1 primarily targets the liver, K2 is more widely distributed, including bones and soft tissues.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Vitamin K2 is generally safe at recommended doses. However, people taking anticoagulants (such as warfarin) should consult their doctor before using this supplement, as vitamin K can interfere with the medication's action. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional.

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.
