Skeletal System SupportPromotes efficient calcium utilization by bonesPromotes normal blood clottingPromotes heart healthProvides science-based ratios of MK-4 and MK-7 for greater effectivenessOil-based softgel for enhanced vitamin K absorptionVitamin K is an essential vitamin 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 popular 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 used clinically in Japan for decades with good results, MK-7 has also been shown to provide good results at low doses and over a long period of time. AOR Vitamin K2 provides a 50/50 blend of MK-4 and MK-7 to ensure the best of both worlds. The most popular, though only recently highlighted, use of vitamin K2 is for bone health. Vitamin K, along with vitamin D, is essential for proper absorption and utilization of calcium 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. Vitamin K is an important blood clotting factor; without adequate amounts, the risk of excessive bruising and bleeding increases significantly. Similarly, vitamin K improves the absorption of calcium from the bloodstream into bones, which prevents arterial calcification and promotes healthy blood vessel function and heart health. Finally, vitamin K2 is an excellent complement to conventional osteoporosis medications and is essential for individuals taking calcium supplements. Vitamin K2 may also be helpful for those with a family history of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, arterial calcification, or for those who bruise or bleed easily. AOR's Vitamin K2 is made with soy-free ingredients to avoid potential dietary issues. It's also formulated in a carrageenan-free, vegan softgel for optimal absorption and accommodates a variety of dietary preferences or restrictions, while promoting environmental sustainability.
