Vitakruid Vitamin K2 100 mcg K2VITAL DELTAVitamin K2 100 mcg from Vitakruid
Western diets mainly contain vitamin K1, found in plants (especially green tea, algae, and green vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, parsley, and cabbage). We therefore get enough of this form of vitamin K through our diet. Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, on the other hand, is produced by bacteria and is found in very small amounts in dairy, meat, and eggs. This makes vegetarians and vegans susceptible to a reduced status.
Vitamin K2 has more applications than vitamin K1
The assumption that vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 are forms of vitamin K, however, is beginning to resemble a misconception. Various scientists suggest that K1 and K2 differ so much that they should be regarded as two separate nutrients. Both vitamins play a role in blood clotting factors, but the differences seem to overshadow the similarities. Supplementation with vitamin K2 therefore has more health-promoting effects than supplementation with K1.
K2 in the most absorbable form menaquinone-7 (MK-7)
Vitamin K2 exists in no fewer than ten forms, MK-4 to MK-14. We exclusively use the most absorbable form menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Not only is this the most absorbable form, but also the form with the longest so-called half-life. This is the benchmark for the duration in which a nutrient remains active in our body. For example, vitamin K1 has a half-life of only one to two hours. The nutrient cannot reach all tissues within that time frame. Vitamin K2 menaquinone-7 has a half-life of more than 72 hours, during which the biologically active nutrient reaches the blood vessels, bone tissue, and all organs our body possesses!
High dose of 100 mcg per tablet
Most vitamin K2 supplements have a dosage of 45 mcg per tablet. This is a much too low dosage. Many therapies use K2 dosages of up to 1000 mcg per day! If you then have a supplement with a dosage of 45 mcg K2 per tablet, you would have to take about twenty tablets a day. Especially for people who have difficulty swallowing tablets, this is an almost impossible task.
K2VITAL® DELTA from Kappa Bioscience is the best known K2
Kappa Bioscience is a developer that is fully dedicated to the production of vitamin K2 and related nutrients. That is why it is the developer for vitamin K2. For example, the renowned manufacturer works with a revolutionary micro-encapsulated technique. Here, the minuscule vitamin K2 particles are encapsulated in a double coating. This makes K2VITAL® DELTA more stable in the gastrointestinal tract and better absorbable than other vitamin K2 MK-7 nutrients.
