BIOTICS RESEARCH Bio K Mulsion Liquid Vitamin K1 Drops - 500 mcg

Introducing Bio K Mulsion

BIOTICS RESEARCH offers Bio K Mulsion, a liquid vitamin K1 supplement designed to support your body's natural functions. Each serving delivers 500 mcg of phytonadione in a specialised emulsion form that improves absorption compared to standard oil-based capsules. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone needing flexible dosage or who finds tablets difficult to swallow.

Health Benefits of Vitamin K1

Vitamin K1 plays a vital role in several bodily processes. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recognises the following health claims for vitamin K:

• Normal Blood Clotting: Vitamin K is essential for the synthesis of clotting factors, helping your body form clots when necessary.
• Maintenance of Normal Bones: Vitamin K activates proteins like osteocalcin, which help bind calcium to the bone matrix, supporting bone density.

Bio K Mulsion's liquid form is particularly beneficial for those who need precise dosage or have difficulty with pills. The emulsion technology enhances bioavailability, ensuring your body can utilise the vitamin effectively.

Vitamin K1 vs K2: Key Differences

Both forms of vitamin K are important, but they differ in source and function. Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is found in green leafy vegetables and primarily supports blood clotting and bone health. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone), particularly MK-7, is produced by bacteria and plays a role in directing calcium to bones and away from arteries. While K1 is short-acting, K2 remains active longer. Many people choose to combine both supplements for comprehensive support. Bio K Mulsion provides only K1, making it perfect for those specifically targeting clotting support or who already obtain K2 from fermented foods like natto and cheese.

What Is Vitamin K1?

Vitamin K1, also known as phytonadione, is a fat-soluble vitamin that your body cannot produce on its own. It is abundant in spinach, kale, and broccoli. Its primary role is to activate proteins involved in blood coagulation and bone metabolism. In supplements like Bio K Mulsion, the vitamin is dispersed in tiny droplets through an emulsion process, which may enhance absorption—especially when taken with a meal containing fat.

How to Choose a Vitamin K1 Supplement

When selecting a vitamin K1 supplement, consider the form, dosage, and quality. Liquid drops like Bio K Mulsion allow flexible dosage and faster absorption. Look for a product that provides a meaningful amount, such as 500 mcg per serving. Quality is paramount: BIOTICS RESEARCH produces its supplements in a GMP-certified facility, with third-party testing and ISO certification. The product is gluten-free, non-GMO, and free from common allergens, ensuring purity.

Recommended Dosage

The UK dietary reference value for vitamin K is around 1 µg per kg body weight per day, equivalent to about 90–120 mcg for most adults. However, many experts suggest higher intakes for optimal bone and clotting support. Bio K Mulsion delivers 500 mcg per serving (1 ml or approximately 20 drops), a potent dose that exceeds the basic requirements. Take with a meal containing fat for best absorption. Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are on medication.

Potential Side Effects & Interactions

Vitamin K1 is generally safe and well tolerated. No upper intake level has been established, but extremely high doses may cause mild digestive upset. The most important interaction is with anticoagulant drugs like warfarin, as vitamin K can counteract their effect. If you take blood thinners, maintain a consistent intake of vitamin K and discuss supplementation with your doctor. Antibiotics may also affect vitamin K production in the gut. As with any supplement, inform your health care professional about your regimen, particularly if you have liver disease or a clotting disorder.

Frequently Asked Questions
