Vitamin K2
The Healthy Blood and Bone Vitamin
Vitamin K2 is a blood clotting factor, and is also important in bone formation. Major deficiency associations include osteoporosis.
Pre-natally, Vitamin K is not normally considered to be essential for baby's development by conventional medicine. However, developing teeth and bones contain two proteins that need vitamin K to function: matrix gla protein is necessary to keep growing cartilage from calcifying prematurely and bone gla protein is important for tooth mineralisation.
Dietary sources include: broccoli, spinach, green tea, green cabbage, tomato.
NOTE: Do not supplement Vitamin K if you are on anti-epileptic medication.
Optimal daily amounts of Vitamin K are easily obtained from Dr. Myatt's Maxi Multi - a comprehensive multiple vitamin and mineral nutrient formula. Click here for full information.

This upgraded Super K formula provides vitamin K1 and the MK-4 and MK-7 forms of vitamin K2 in just one daily softgel. This provides the precise amount of the long-acting MK-7 form of vitamin K2 that recent human studies have shown provides optimal K2 levels over a 24-hour period. The MK-4 is included to provide the rapid increase in vitamin K blood levels that may account for its beneficial effects in certain studies.

Warning to Coumadin® (warfarin) Drug Users
Patients prescribed vitamin K-antagonist anti-coagulant prescription drugs like warfarin should consult their physician before taking vitamin K supplements. There is evidence, however, that users of drugs like warfarin could benefit from a consistent low dose of supplemental vitamin K. Ask your doctor if you can take a low dose (45 mcg a day) of vitamin K2 in the long-acting MK-7 form for the purpose of stabilizing your INR levels and also protecting your body against long-term vitamin K deficit. Do not initiate any form of vitamin K supplementation without full cooperation of your treating doctor, as your doctor may need to increase your dose of warfarin to compensate for the vitamin K you supplement with. Dr. Myatt can provide low-dose vitamin K for physician consideration. |
