Benefits
Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in bone health and calcium metabolism. Unlike Vitamin K1, primarily involved in blood clotting, vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to bones and teeth rather than letting it accumulate in arteries or soft tissues. This targeted calcium transport supports bone density, lowers the risk of vascular calcification, and can contribute to better cardiovascular health. Vitamin K2 also works synergistically with nutrients like Vitamin D, enhancing the activation of proteins critical for proper bone mineralisation.
