Vitamin 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 work well at low doses and over 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 the bones. Vitamin K2 also stimulates the synthesis of proteins that regulate bone growth and has been shown to reduce the incidence of osteoporotic fractures and improve bone quality.
Vitamin K is an important blood clotting factor: without sufficient amounts, the risk of bruising and excessive bleeding increases significantly. Similarly, vitamin K improves the absorption of calcium from the bloodstream into the 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 people who take calcium supplements. Vitamin K2 may also be useful for people with a family history of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, arterial calcification or for those with bruises or who bleed easily.
AOR Vitamin K2 is made with soy-free ingredients to avoid potential dietary concerns. It is also formulated in a carrageenan-free vegan capsule for optimal absorption and is suitable for a variety of dietary preferences or restrictions, while promoting environmental sustainability.
