Summary
Vitamin K is essential for cardiovascular, bone, and liver health. Vitamin K2 is more effective than Vitamin K1, a form found in plants, for these specific health effects. There are two effective and widely recognized forms of Vitamin K2: MK-4 and MK-7. While MK-4 is the active form of Vitamin K2 used by the body and has been clinically used in Japan for decades with positive results, MK-7 has also been shown to yield good results at low doses and in a sustained manner. AOR's Vitamin K2 provides a 50/50 blend of MK-4 and MK-7 to ensure the best of both worlds
The most popular, albeit only recently highlighted, use of Vitamin K2 is for bone health. Vitamin K, when combined with Vitamin D, is vital for proper calcium absorption and utilization in bones. Vitamin K2 also stimulates the synthesis of proteins that regulate bone growth; it has been shown to reduce the incidence of osteoporotic fractures and improve bone quality.
