Synergy K -
Vitamin K includes a group of compounds that contain
a central ring structure with varying side chains. These
differing side chains account for differences in absorption,
bioavailability, transport and tissue distribution. Vitamin
K1, phylloquinone, is the most common form and is
found in plants and green vegetables. The vitamin K2
family, menaquinones, are less common and are found
in meats, eggs, some cheeses, and fermented food, such
as Japanese natto.
What Is It?
Vitamin K includes a group of compounds that contain
a central ring structure with varying side chains. These
differing side chains account for differences in absorption,
bioavailability, transport and tissue distribution. Vitamin
K1, phylloquinone, is the most common form and is
found in plants and green vegetables. The vitamin K2
family, menaquinones, are less common and are found
in meats, eggs, some cheeses, and fermented food, such
as Japanese natto. The most common menaquinones
are menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7).
Studies indicate that vitamin K1 and MK-4 are primarily
concentrated in the liver, while MK-7 is concentrated in
extra-hepatic tissues, including vascular tissues. MK-7
also has a longer half-life. This unique formula contains a
broad-spectrum blend of vitamins K1, K2 and D for healthy
calcium utilization to maintain healthy bones and blood
vessels.*
Uses For Synergy K
Bone Health:
Vitamin K enhances bone formation by
carboxylating osteocalcin. This enables osteocalcin to bind to
calcium and promote healthy bone mineralization. Vitamin
D synergistically regulates the synthesis of osteocalcin by
osteoblasts in bone. Adequate intake of vitamin K1 and K2
may be especially important for optimal carboxylation in
aging individuals, as indicated by a recent study involving
Japanese women.*
Vascular Health:
Vitamin K dependent proteins in the liver
are responsible for maintaining healthy blood coagulation
and platelet function. Additionally, by activating matrix
Gla-protein (MGP), vitamin K also helps maintain healthy
calcium metabolism in vascular tissues, supporting healthy
vascular elasticity. Recent studies indicate that vitamin D
potentiates the activity of MGP and that the combination
of vitamin K and D provides synergistic support for blood
vessel function.*
What Is The Source?
Vitamin K
1
and vitamin K
2
(menaquinone-4) are synthetic. Vitamin K
2
(MK-7) is
naturally derived from flower extracts geraniol and farnesol. Vitamin D
