Vitamin K2 – support for normal bone formation and blood coagulation

Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a central role in the body's natural processes related to bone health and normal blood coagulation. This dietary supplement contains vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), a form that is well documented and suitable for daily use in doses that are in line with Norwegian and European regulations. The product has been developed for those who want to support normal bone structure and the body's natural calcium metabolism as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Vitamin K2 is often used in holistic wellness routines and is often combined with vitamin D and calcium as part of a balanced diet. The product is suitable for adult women and men who want to take care of the skeleton through the various phases of life, and fits well into daily routines for general health and mobility.

Health benefits
Vitamin K2 has several documented and approved functions in the body:

• Contributes to normal bone structure

• Contributes to normal blood coagulation

• Supports the body natural calcium metabolism

• Contributes to the normal function of proteins involved in bone tissue

• Supports general processes related to the structure and maintenance of the skeleton

Top main features and lesser known effect
The two most established and documented functions of vitamin K2 are the contribution to normal bone formation and normal blood coagulation, in line with EFSA-approved health claims. A lesser-known but biologically interesting function is vitamin K2's role in activating K-dependent proteins that help regulate the location of calcium in the body, which is important for long-term tissue balance.
