Vitamin K2 Hevert 100 µg

The term “vitamin K” actually refers to a group that contains several very chemically similar substances. The form used today in most dietary supplements and also in this Hevert preparation is vitamin K2 (menaquinone or MK-7). This form of the vitamin has the advantage of good distribution in the body and a particularly long-lasting effect.

Vitamin K plays an important role in many bodily functions, and research is still ongoing. It has long been known that vitamin K is necessary for the activation of coagulation factors and thus plays its part in the complex process of blood coagulation. The significance of the vitamin for the health of the blood vessels, which are often damaged by arteriosclerosis with increasing age, is still under investigation.
 
A further main task of vitamin K is the regulation of the calcium balance. It is primarily involved in the formation of osteocalcin, an endogenous chemical messenger that plays an important role in bone formation. In this way, vitamin K has a significant influence on the density and stability of the bones. Vitamin K can be absorbed through food. Good sources of vitamin K (vitamin K1 and K2) include green vegetables and vegetable oils as well as animal-based foods such as meat, cheese, quark (curd cheese), poultry, and eggs.

Taking Vitamin K2 Hevert 100 µg regularly can contribute to normal blood clotting, preservation of normal bone density, and strengthening of the bones. Taking vitamin K preparations is particularly advised for older people, menopausal and post-menopausal women, people with risks to the cardiovascular system, and people with risks to bone health and stability.
