Vitamin K2 Matters More Than You Think

Vitamin D gets all the attention - but without Vitamin K2, your body may not use calcium effectively.

As a pharmacists, we often see people taking Vitamin D or calcium without considering K2 - a key nutrient that helps support where calcium goes in the body.


What Does Vitamin K2 Do?

Most everyday vegetables provide Vitamin K1, which supports blood clotting. However, Vitamin K2 - important for directing calcium to bones instead of arteries - is much harder to obtain from a typical diet.

- Supports bone health
- Helps regulate calcium use
- Works alongside Vitamin D
