Natural Factors Vitamin K 100 mcg 60 Capsules

Product Description:

• 
  Natural Factors Vitamin K2 features vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), an advanced, fat-soluble form of vitamin K that serves multiple functions in the body.
  


• 
  Vitamin K2 plays a critical role in protecting the heart, as well as in building strong bones.
  


• 
  As a director of calcium, vitamin K2 guides the mineral toward tissues where it is needed, such as bones, and away from tissues where it could have a negative effect, such as arteries.
  


• 
  Only K2 in the form of MK-7 has been shown to offer 24-hour protection in a single daily dose.
  


• 
  Other commercially available subtypes of K2, such as MK-4, only last 4–6 hours in the body and are required in much larger dosages to be effective.
  


• 
  The K family consists of a trio of vitamins: K1 (phylloquinone), K2 (menaquinone), and K3, a synthetic form of the vitamin.
  


• 
  K3 has been shown to have toxic effects on the liver.
  


• 
  While vitamin K1 is easy to obtain from green leafy vegetables, the bacteria in our intestines do not convert enough to K2 to help with atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.
  


• 
  K2 is found in the diet in natto, a fermented soybean food popular in Japan, as well as in butter, meat, egg yolks, and organ meats from animals that are grass-fed rather than grain-fed.
  


• 
  As grass-fed animal products are rare nowadays and a taste for natto is difficult to acquire for most Westerners, a vitamin K2 supplement is the best way to ensure you are getting an optimal daily dose of this important nutrient.
  


• 
  Most people will have difficulty meeting their daily requirement of vitamin K2 through diet alone.
  


• 
  Natural Factors Vitamin K2 provides highly bioavailable MK-7, naturally derived from natto beans, making it easy to get more of this important nutrient.
