XYMOGEN K2-45 - 45 mcg Vitamin K2 (MK-7) - 60 Vegetarian Capsules

What is vitamin K2 and why is it important?

Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for bone and cardiovascular health. Unlike vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), found in green leafy vegetables, K2 is found in fermented foods and animal products. XYMOGEN K2-45 provides 45 mcg of vitamin K2 in its most bioavailable form, MK-7, obtained from natto (fermented soybeans). This form stands out for its long half-life in the body, which allows for sustained and effective action.

Health benefits of vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood coagulation and the maintenance of normal bones, according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In addition, it plays a key role in calcium regulation: it activates proteins such as osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein (MGP), which help fix calcium in the bones and prevent its deposit in the arteries. Thus, adequate K2 intake promotes bone density and vascular elasticity.*

How much vitamin K2 do you need? Recommended dosage

The optimal dose of vitamin K2 can vary depending on age, lifestyle, and diet. XYMOGEN K2-45 offers 45 mcg per capsule, an amount that meets the daily needs of many adults. It is recommended to take one capsule daily, preferably with a meal that contains some fat to improve absorption. However, it is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate dose for you.

Differences between vitamin K1 and K2: why choose MK-7?

Vitamin K1 is found in green vegetables and is primarily used for blood coagulation. Vitamin K2, and especially MK-7, has greater bioavailability and remains in the body longer, allowing for more efficient activation of vitamin K-dependent proteins. Natto-derived MK-7 is the most studied form for its ability to maintain bone and cardiovascular health. In addition, XYMOGEN K2-45 uses a fermented source that guarantees purity and effectiveness.

How to choose the best vitamin K2 supplement

When selecting a vitamin K2 supplement, it is important to consider the form (MK-4 or MK-7), the dosage, and the quality of the ingredients. XYMOGEN K2-45 stands out for its vegetarian format, free of gluten, GMOs, dairy, soy, peanuts, egg, and shellfish. Each batch is made under strict quality controls, making it a reliable option for those looking for specific nutritional support without common allergens.

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 supplementing, as vitamin K can interfere with medication. In rare cases, mild digestive discomfort may occur. This product is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.
