Närokällan K2 60 Kapslar

Why take vitamin K2?

Vitamin K is essential for the blood clotting process, where "K" stands for coagulation. Vitamin K works together with calcium and vitamin D to maintain normal bone structure and bone density. Calcium strengthens the bones, vitamin D promotes calcium absorption from the diet, and vitamin K helps regulate how the body uses calcium.

The K2 vitamin used in this product from Närokällan contains menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the most bioactive and easily absorbed form of vitamin K.

Our K2 is produced through a controlled synthetic process, not from soy or other fermented sources. This makes it completely pure, stable, and free from histamine, while also suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

Vitamin K contributes to:

• Normal blood coagulation

• Normal bone structure

For optimal absorption, vitamin K requires fat. Although vitamin K can be stored in the body, a continuous intake through diet or supplements is necessary.

The gut microbiota produces a small amount of vitamin K, which slightly reduces the risk of deficiency.

How to get vitamin K naturally

Cabbage, green leafy vegetables, and certain oils are good sources of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone).

A small amount of vitamin K2 is naturally produced by gut bacteria in both animals and humans, but these amounts are not sufficient to meet the body’s needs. Therefore, it is important to obtain K2 through diet or supplements. In addition to the body’s own production, K2 is naturally found in fermented foods, certain algae, and animal products such as meat, liver, and egg yolk.

Who should avoid vitamin K2?

People taking blood-thinning medications that act as vitamin K antagonists are sometimes advised to limit their intake of vitamin K-rich foods because vitamin K can affect blood clotting. Therefore, vitamin K supplements should not be combined with blood-thinning medication without consulting a doctor.
