NOW Foods Vitamin K-2 Menaquinone 100mcg 100 Veg Capsules

NOW® Vitamin K-2 supplies 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-4, MK-4) per vegetarian capsule. Although vitamin K is historically known for its role in normal blood clotting, research has highlighted vitamin K2's distinct and important job in bone and cardiovascular health: it activates proteins that help direct calcium into the bones and teeth — where it strengthens the skeleton — and away from soft tissues like the arteries. This makes K2 a valuable partner to calcium and vitamin D in a bone-support routine.*

Cautions & interactions

As with any supplement, talk to your doctor before adding this product to your routine if you are pregnant or nursing, taking prescription medication, or managing a health condition. Keep it out of reach of children, store in a cool, dry place, and don't exceed the recommended serving. If you take a multivitamin or several supplements, review the combined amounts so you don't unintentionally double up on the same nutrient. Vitamin K plays a role in normal blood clotting and can interact with anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications such as warfarin, so if you take a blood thinner, talk to your doctor before using a vitamin K product.
