TriVita’s K2 Complete contains three forms of Vitamin K: Vitamin K1 as phytonadione and Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Vitamin K2 and K1 are a group of fat-soluble vitamins widely researched for heart health benefits.1-5 Vitamin K deficiency can lead to calcification (mineral deposits) of vessel walls that has been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. Vitamin K2 consumption may lower risk of vascular damage.1 It has also been found to be up to eight times more bioavailable than K1 and can remain active in the body for a longer period of time.2 Vitamin K1 can be found in plant-based foods such as kale, spinach and broccoli. Vitamin K2 is often missing in the Western diet as it is usually found in fermented foods.2,3 Vitamin K2 studies have shown: • If at least 32 mcg of Vitamin K2 is present in the diet, then the risks for blood-vessel calcification and heart problems are significantly lowered.3 • High-intake of Vitamin K2 was associated with protection against cardiovascular events.4 • Long-term use of MK-7 supplements improved arterial stiffness, which is related to high blood pressure and hypertension in healthy postmenopausal women.5
