Though vitamin K is present in many foods, vitamin K2 can only be found in animal sourced foods and fermented plant foods. Chicken, pork chops, beef liver, and many organ meats all have high levels of vitamin K2. Soybeans, sauerkraut, and cheese are also rich in vitamin K2.
Vitamin K2 deficiency symptoms can manifest as improper clotting or increased bleeding, including bruising easily, small blood clots under the fingernails, nose bleeds, and blood in stools.
Supplementing with vitamin K2 is generally considered very safe and does not interfere with normal blood clotting function, however it is not recommended for those with high blood pressure. You should always consult your medical practitioner before taking any new supplement, including vitamin K2, alongside any other medication.
Vitamins D3 and K2 have been widely credited with supporting weight loss as they optimise the body's metabolism by promoting healthy thyroid function, supporting glucose breakdown, and helping to balance insulin resistance.
Not only does vitamin K2 increase the skin’s healing capacity but it also supports its natural barrier function. In addition to this, by directing calcium to the most deserving areas of the body, vitamin K2 inadvertently boosts skin health. By lessening the calcification of elastin within the skin, both collagen and elastin are preserved for a more youthful appearance.
For maximum health benefits, Vitamin K2 should be taken alongside vitamin D3, ideally in a combined supplement and close to a meal.
