Vitamin K1-500 60 Capsules

Andrew Lessman's Vitamin K-500 provides a convenient high potency source of Vitamin K-1 (Phytonadione). Vitamin K is well-known for its essential role in blood clotting and its name is derived from the German word Koagulation (English coagulation or clotting). Of course, our Vitamin K is not intended for use by those being treated for blood clotting issues without physician approval. Beyond its role in blood clotting, Vitamin K plays many other vital functions in the body, most noteworthy is its crucial role in the utilization and retention of Calcium in bone. Numerous clinical studies have shown that healthy levels of Vitamin K support improved bone and skeletal health. Unfortunately, like many key nutrients, Vitamin K is found in foods that most Americans avoid, such as green leafy vegetables. Making matters worse is the fact that Vitamin K is not well stored in the body and requires consistent replenishment. When combined with a diet or supplement regime rich in the other bone health nutrients: Calcium and Vitamin D, our Vitamin K-500 provides an economical and effective means of achieving the levels of Vitamin K necessary to support optimum bone and skeletal health.
