How Does YourHappyLife Use Vitamin K in Supplements?
Vitamin K is included in YourHappyLife bone and heart health supplements to promote proper blood clotting, support bone mineral density, and maintain cardiovascular function.
How Does Vitamin K Work?
Vitamin K functions through several biological mechanisms:
-
Blood Clotting Regulation: Activates clotting factors in the liver necessary for proper coagulation and prevention of excessive bleeding.
-
Bone Health: Activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to bones, improving bone density and reducing fracture risk.
-
Cardiovascular Support: Helps prevent arterial calcification by activating matrix Gla-proteins, which inhibit calcium deposits in blood vessels.
-
Molecular Interaction: Acts as a coenzyme in the carboxylation of specific proteins, enabling them to bind calcium ions effectively.
How Does YourHappyLife Source Its Vitamin K?
YourHappyLife sources both Vitamin K1 from natural leafy greens extracts and Vitamin K2 (MK-7 form) from fermented natto, ensuring high purity and bioavailability from GMP-certified suppliers.
Recommended Dosage and Use
Daily recommended intake for adults is approximately 90-120 mcg. Supplement doses typically range from 90 to 200 mcg per day depending on individual health goals. Vitamin K is best taken with meals containing fat to enhance absorption.
Safety, Side Effects, and Interactions
Vitamin K is generally safe and well tolerated at recommended doses. High doses may interfere with blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, so individuals on anticoagulant therapy should consult healthcare providers before supplementation. No known significant side effects from dietary vitamin K intake have been reported
