Spring Valley Vitamin K2 100 mcg, 60 Softgels with Pill Organiser

Health Benefits of Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 is essential for maintaining strong bones and supporting normal blood clotting. By activating proteins like osteocalcin and matrix Gla-protein (MGP), it helps direct calcium to your bones and teeth, whilst preventing it from accumulating in blood vessels. This dual action makes vitamin K2 a valuable addition to your daily routine.

Spring Valley Vitamin K2 provides 100 mcg of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the most bio-available and long-lasting form. Each bottle contains 60 easy-to-swallow softgels, plus a convenient pill organiser to help you stay consistent.

What is Vitamin K2?

Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin that works differently from vitamin K1. While K1 is primarily involved in blood clotting, K2 helps activate proteins that manage calcium metabolism. The MK-7 form used here stays active in the bloodstream longer, offering sustained support.

This food supplement is ideal for those looking to support bone density and cardiovascular function.

Vitamin K2 vs K1: Key Differences

• Source: Vitamin K1 is found in green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale; vitamin K2 is present in fermented foods such as natto and cheese, as well as animal products.
• Function: K1 is used by the liver for blood clotting; K2 activates proteins that regulate calcium in the body.
• Absorption: MK-7 (K2) has a longer half-life, providing sustained effects; K1 is cleared rapidly.
• Benefits: Both support bone health, but K2 also contributes to normal blood clotting and helps keep calcium out of arteries.

Recommended Dosage

Take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal containing fat to aid absorption. The 100 mcg dose aligns with the recommended intake for adults (90–120 mcg). Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are on anticoagulant medication like warfarin.

How to Choose a Vitamin K2 Supplement

• Form: MK-7 is preferred for its long half-life; Spring Valley uses MK-7.
• Dosage: 100 mcg is a standard, effective dose.
• Purity: Free from unnecessary fillers, artificial colours, and preservatives.

Potential Side Effects & Interactions

Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated. However, it can interact with blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin). If you are on such therapy, do not take this supplement unless advised by your doctor. Mild digestive upset is rare but possible. Discontinue uses if adverse reactions occur.
