Vitamin K ensures the absorption of calcium and contributes to maintaining good bone health. It also helps to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. In our range you can choose from dietary supplements containing only vitamin K2 or a combination with vitamin D3 to support its effects. You can get vitamin K as capsules, tablets or in liquid form.
Frequently Asked Questions
While Vitamin K1 (from leafy greens) primarily takes care of proper blood clotting, Vitamin K2 is crucial for calcium metabolism. It is Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) that is the most important for athletes because it ensures that calcium is directed exactly to the bones and teeth, rather than into soft tissues or blood vessels.
These two vitamins work in the body as an inseparable team. Vitamin D3 ensures that calcium from your diet is absorbed into the bloodstream in the first place. Vitamin K2 then takes on the role of a "navigator," safely transporting this calcium into the bone tissue. This effectively prevents the dangerous calcification of blood vessels.
When choosing a supplement, always read the label carefully and look for Vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 (Menaquinone-7). This is a premium and highly bioavailable form that has a much longer half-life in the body (remaining active for up to 72 hours) compared to the cheaper and less effective synthetic MK-4 form.
Heavy weight training puts enormous pressure on the entire skeletal system. Vitamin K2 aids in the production of osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium into the bones. This guarantees maximum bone density and strength, which is absolutely essential as a long-term preventative measure against fractures, injuries, and skeletal wear and tear.
Vitamin K is (like A, D, and E) a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that for maximum absorption, you must always take it together with a meal containing healthy fats (e.g., eggs, avocado, nuts, high-quality oils, or meat). Taking it on an empty stomach with just a glass of water is ineffective.
