Indicações

  • Descrição

    Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin necessary for three critical processes in our bodies: blood clotting, regulation of bone mineral content, and the integrity of blood vessel walls.
    The common thread among all of them is that they are processes facilitated by Gla-proteins (Gammacarboxyglutamate), which are inactive unless carboxylated by vitamin K.
    Vitamin K consists of two groups: Vitamin K1, found in green leafy vegetables, and K2, which is synthesized by intestinal bacteria and is also found in cheese and natto (fermented soybeans – a typical Japanese product). Most people get enough vitamin K for proper blood clotting. However, recent studies show that the current recommended daily intake is insufficient to support bone and vascular health.
    Vitamin K's role in blood clotting has been known since 1930. It is crucial in the formation of eight clotting factors that convert soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin in the circulation. Fibrin is used directly to form clots. Most people have sufficient vitamin K levels to support this function.
    Regarding bone health, research indicates that the non-carboxylation of the Gla-Osteoclacin protein is correlated with low bone density and, consequently, a higher risk factor. Supplementation with vitamin K2, rather than K1, reduced the incidence of fractures and the rate of bone mineral density loss, and increased bone strength.
    In the bloodstream, recent research has revealed that the matrix of Gla proteins can inhibit blood vessel calcification and even reverse the calcification process and restore arterial flexibility. Vitamin K2 is required for this process.
    The MK-7 (Menaquinone 7) form of vitamin K2 is of superior quality when compared to vitamin K1 or MK-4, which are both synthetic.
    It is readily bioavailable, accumulating in the bloodstream. Furthermore, it has a long lifespan, allowing it to be absorbed by blood vessels and bones before being rapidly sequestered by the liver. It has also been shown to increase Gla protein levels by 100%, lasting ten times longer.
    Solgar's vitamin K2 is found in the MK-7 form, naturally derived from natto, one of the richest sources of MK-7.
    The recommended daily intake of Solgar vitamin K2 is 100µg. This dose has been shown to be safe and effective.
    Since MK-7 is a strong inhibitor of anticoagulant drugs, people taking this type of medication should seek medical advice before taking this supplement.

    Solgar is a brand whose philosophy is to promote well-being. It produces supplements with the strictest production and quality control standards. Furthermore, it carefully selects its raw materials and does not use preservatives, flavor enhancers, or artificial colors.
