INGREDIENT
Vitamin K2
An essential vitamin for proper calcium distribution and bone health.
Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a specific role in the regulation of calcium in the body.
It does not determine how much calcium is absorbed, but helps guide where that calcium is used.
The importance of Vitamin K2
Vitamine K2 is nodig voor de activatie van eiwitten die calcium binden en naar bot- en tandweefsel begeleiden.
In onze PM spray gebruiken we vitamine K2 in de vorm van menachinon-7 (MK-7), een vorm met een lange halfwaardetijd, wat zorgt voor een stabiele beschikbaarheid bij dagelijkse inname.
Vitamine K2 en Vitamine D3 vormen een logisch en fysiologisch samenhangend duo binnen bot- en skeletgezondheid. Een bewuste keuze en combinatie voor onze PM spray.
Vitamin K2:
These functions are recognised by EFSA and supported by medical literature.
Vitamin K2 is mainly found in fermented foods, which are consumed only in limited amounts in Western dietary patterns.
As a result, intake is often low and inconsistent.
In combination with Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 is therefore receiving increasing attention in the context of bone and skeletal health.
Vitamin K2 occurs naturally in specific food categories, including:
Leafy green vegetables mainly provide vitamin K1, not K2.
Research suggests that many people have a subclinical vitamin K2 deficiency, as intake through diet is often insufficient.
Studies indicate that up to one-third of people may have suboptimal intake, which may be associated with vascular calcification, heart valve calcification, and lower bone density.
Vitamin K2 is involved in processes that support healthy bone development by helping integrate calcium into the skeleton. This is particularly relevant during growth phases, when bone formation is a priority.
Vitamin K and Vitamin D work in synergy, together contributing to improved bone quality and vascular elasticity.
No upper intake level has been established for vitamin K2.
If you are using blood-thinning medication, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
