vitamin K2
Bone-supporting nutrient
Vitamin K2 is one of two main forms of vitamin K, a nutrient essential for blood clotting and bone health.
While vitamin K1 comes primarily from leafy greens, K2 is found in fermented foods, animal products, and is produced by gut bacteria.
It helps direct calcium into bones and teeth rather than arteries.
