Home of Kyle J. Norton for The Better of Living & Living Health Vitamin K is a group of fat-soluble vitamins and essential nutrient needed in metabolic pathways in bone and other tissue and to form proteins to promote blood coagulation. 3 basic forms of vitamin K includes K1, K2, and K3, where vitamin K1, a natural vitaminer (phylloquinone or phytonadione) is found in green leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, spinach, and turnip greens. Okra, asparagus, prunes, and avocado, etc., vitamin K2 , a natural vitaminer (menaquinones or MKs) found mostly in the foods of the form of MK4 and MK7. Small amounts of MK4 can be found in animal products such as meats and dairy products. MK7 is a natural product of bacteria that live in the human lower intestine. MK7 is also found in certain fermented products, such as cheese, and in large amounts in the Japanese soy product known as natto, vitamin K3, (menadione) is a synthetic (man-made) form of vitamin K(a).
vitamin K2 for prevention of the progression of atherosclerosis and the coagulative tendency
In the study to evaluate whether vitamin K2 (menatetrenone) could affect the progression of both atherosclerosis and hypercoagulability in hypercholesterolemic rabbits, researchers at the Tokyo Research Laboratoires, indicate that the pharmacological dose of vitamin K2 prevents both the progression of atherosclerosis and the coagulative tendency by reducing the total-cholesterol, lipid peroxidation and factor X activity in plasma, and the ester-cholesterol deposition in the aorta in hypercholesterolemic rabbits(20).
