Support your cardiovascular system and bone health with Garden of Life's Raw Vitamin Code K Complex, a comprehensive formula that provides three forms of vitamin K alongside probiotics and omega-rich flaxseed oil. This raw whole food supplement is designed for maximum absorption and overall wellness.*
Health Benefits of Vitamin K1 and K2
The unique combination of K1, K2 MK7, and K2 MK4 in this formula provides multiple benefits:
-
Heart Health: Vitamin K2 helps activate matrix Gla-protein, which supports normal calcium utilisation in the body, contributing to healthy arteries.*
-
Bone Strength: Vitamin K is essential for osteocalcin activation, a protein that binds calcium to bone matrix, helping to maintain strong and dense bones.*
-
Blood Clotting: Vitamin K1 is necessary for producing clotting factors, promoting normal coagulation.*
-
Digestive Support: The added 500 million CFU Raw Probiotic blend (L. bulgaricus and L. plantarum) nourishes gut health, aiding nutrient absorption and digestion.*
-
Antioxidant Protection: The whole food base includes 23 organically grown fruits and vegetables, plus 75 trace minerals, providing cofactors for overall wellness.
Each capsule delivers 120 mcg Vitamin K1 (100% NRV), 100 mcg K2 as MK7, and 10 mcg K2 as MK4, ensuring a potent yet balanced dose.
Vitamin K1 vs K2: Key Differences
This supplement uniquely combines both Vitamin K1 and K2 (as MK7 and MK4). Here’s how they differ:
-
Vitamin K1: Primarily involved in blood clotting. It has a short half-life and is quickly processed by the liver.
-
Vitamin K2 (MK4): A short-chain menaquinone that supports bone health and may help with calcium utilisation.*
-
Vitamin K2 (MK7): A long-chain menaquinone with a longer half-life, providing sustained support for cardiovascular and bone health.*
By including all three forms, the Raw Vitamin Code K Complex offers comprehensive K vitamin support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take this with Vitamin D?
Yes. Vitamins K and D work synergistically. Many users combine this K complex with a Vitamin D supplement for optimal bone and heart support.*
Is this supplement vegan?
Absolutely. The capsules are plant-based, and the formula contains no animal products. It is also RAW and certified Non-GMO.
How long does one bottle last?
With 60 capsules and a recommended serving of one per day, the bottle provides a two-month supply.
What Is Vitamin K1?
Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin found naturally in green leafy vegetables. It plays a vital role in blood clotting and helps maintain healthy bones.* The body uses K1 to activate proteins that assist in coagulation and calcium metabolism. While K1 is abundant in foods like spinach, kale, and broccoli, supplementation can help ensure adequate intake, especially for those with dietary restrictions or increased needs.
Recommended Dosage
Adults take one capsule daily with food. Since Vitamin K is fat-soluble, taking it with a meal containing fat improves absorption. The bottle provides a 60-day supply. Capsules can also be opened and mixed with water or juice if preferred. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a health care professional.
Potential Side Effects & Interactions
Vitamin K is generally well tolerated at recommended levels. However, those taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin) should consult a doctor before uses, as Vitamin K can interfere with anticoagulant effects. Allergic reactions are rare. If you experience any adverse symptoms, discontinue uses. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication or under medical supervision, consult a doctor before uses.
