Doctor's Best Natural Vitamin K2 MenaQ7 Capsules, 180 Count

Vitamin k, a fat-soluble vitamin, is primarily known for its role in regulating blood coagulation. Vitamin k is required for the activity of specialized proteins that control blood clotting (coagulation factors ii, vii, ix) in a series of metabolic steps known as the coagulation cascade. The daily intake of vitamin k recommended by the national academy of sciences1 is based on the amount needed for biosynthesis of these clotting factors in the liver. Vitamin k-dependent proteins are also found in bone and soft tissues, including osteocalcin, the protein that deposits calcium in bone.
