During the years 1928 to 1930, researchers

at the Biochemical Institute of the

University of Copenhagen in Denmark wereanalyzing the effects of dietary changes

in young chicks. In 1935, Henrik Dam

discovered the importance of vitamin K

in supporting healthy blood coagulation.

Vitamin K is derived from the German

word koagulation, which means blood

clotting. Vitamin K aids in the production

of proteins, which play a role in the bodysnormal, healthy blood clotting process and

healthy bone formation.

Vitamin K is necessary for the activationof Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which isrequired for the maintenance of healthyvascular elasticity and blood flow.

Vitamin K is found naturally in plantsources such as green, leafy vegetables,broccoli, fermented soybeans, Brusselssprouts, and animal sources such as butter,liver, cheese and eggs.

Benef its of Vitamin K2A growing body of research suggests that vitamin K has manybeneficial functions within the body, including:

Vitamin K1is found primarily in

green, leafy vegetables

and it is the most

abundant form of

vitamin K in the diet.

The human body

converts the vast

majority of vitamin K1

into vitamin K2.

Vitamin K2is less abundant than

K1in the typical diet.

It is most commonly

found in the forms

MK-4 (menatetrenone;

found in animalproducts) and MK-7

(menaquinone-7,

found in fermented

soybeans).
