Arrow Vitamin K, Reference Information

This thread will be reserved for links to reference information for Vitamin K. For information on other vitamins/nutrients/herbs/supplements, please visit the other specifically named threads in this forum. For general information and links to references/databases/knowledgebases, please visit the Useful Websites and Reference Resources sticky thread for this forum. Many Vitamin K references still only contain information about Vitamin K1 and its effect on blood coagulation, failing to provide information and benefits of other Vitamin K types. Vitamin K research is ongoing and new benefits from this nutrient continue to be found.

Forum members are encouraged to post additional Vitamin K reference links as desired.

Disclaimer: This information is intended for reference only. Any decision to initiate a vitamin or supplementation regimen should be discussed with a doctor or qualified medical professional.

================================================== ==

Vitamin K, Brief Synopsis (based on current research):

There are 3 types of Vitamin K:
  • Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone):
    Mainly controls blood coagulation.
  • Vitamin K2 (menaquinones (MK-1 through MK-15, MK-4 is menatetrenone)):
    Help control calcium level in the bloodstream and calcium uptake into bones (via osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP) carboxylation).
  • Vitamin K3 (menadione):
    Synthetic form and generally not recommended for supplementation.
