Garden of Life Raw Vitamin Code K Complex - Organic Vitamin K1 & K2 Supplement, 60 Veg Capsules

Health Benefits of Vitamin K1 and K2

The combination of K1, K2 MK7, and K2 MK4 in this formula delivers a range of advantages. Strong bones rely on K vitamins to activate osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix.* For heart health, K2 activates matrix Gla-protein to potentially prevent calcium buildup in arteries, supporting normal cardiovascular function.* Vitamin K1 is essential for proper blood clotting, promoting normal coagulation.* The added 500 million CFU Raw Probiotic blend (L. bulgaricus and L. plantarum) nourishes the gut, aiding nutrient absorption and digestion.* Finally, the base of 23 organically grown fruits and vegetables plus 75 trace minerals provides antioxidant protection for overall wellbeing.* Each capsule supplies 120 mcg Vitamin K1 (100% DV), 100 mcg K2 as MK7, and 10 mcg K2 as MK4, giving a potent yet balanced dose.

Vitamin K1 vs K2: Key Differences

This supplement uniquely combines Vitamin K1 and K2 (as MK7 and MK4). Here’s how they differ:

• Vitamin K1: Primarily involved in blood clotting. It has a short half-life and is quickly processed by the liver.
• Vitamin K2 (MK4): A short-chain menaquinone that supports bone health and may assist with calcium utilisation.*
• Vitamin K2 (MK7): A long-chain menaquinone with a longer half-life, providing sustained support for cardiovascular and bone health.*

By including all three forms, the Raw Vitamin Code K Complex offers comprehensive K vitamin support.

What Is Vitamin K1?

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin found naturally in green leafy vegetables. It plays a vital role in blood clotting and helps maintain healthy bones.* The body uses K1 to activate proteins that assist in coagulation and calcium metabolism. While K1 is abundant in foods like spinach, kale, and broccoli, supplementation can help ensure adequate intake, especially for those with dietary restrictions or increased needs.

Recommended Dosage

Adults take one capsule daily with food. Because Vitamin K is fat-soluble, taking it with a meal containing fat improves absorption. The bottle offers a 60-day supply. Capsules can also be opened and mixed with water or juice if preferred. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Potential Side Effects & Interactions

Vitamin K is generally well tolerated at recommended levels. However, those taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin) should consult a doctor before use, as Vitamin K can interfere with anticoagulant effects. Allergic reactions are rare. If you experience any adverse symptoms, discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
