Vitamin K2 is needed for many purposes in the body. It is known
- to maintain (build) bone
- for the synthesis of testosterone and progesterone
- against cardiovascular diseases
- and, since it is produced in many organs, it must have many other functions.
But which vitamin K2 should you take? It is available in different forms, from MK3 to MK13) Fermented foods contain mainly MK7. Plant-based foods contain vitamin K1. A new study has now determined that all forms of vitamin K are processed into MK4 in the body. This is therefore the actual active form. Apparently, all types of vitamin K are separated from their side chain in the intestine and transported to the organs. MK4 is then produced in the organs by adding GG (geranylgeraniol).
After we know that now - why not supplementing MK4 directely?
Here's the Product: MK4
