Though Vitamin K is present in many foods, K2 can only be found in animal sourced foods and fermented plant foods. High levels of Vitamin K2 are present in chicken, pork chops, beef liver and many organ meats. Soybeans, sauerkraut and cheese are also rich in K2.
Vitamin K2 deficiency symptoms relate to improper clotting or increased bleeding. These can include bruising easily, small blood clots under the fingernails, nose bleeds and blood in stools.
Supplementing Vitamin K2 is generally considered very safe and does not interfere with normal blood clotting function but is not recommended for those with high blood pressure. You should always consult your medical practitioner before taking any new supplement including Vitamin K2 alongside any other medication.
Vitamins D3 and K2 have been widely credited with supporting weight loss because they optimise the metabolism through healthy thyroid function, support glucose breakdown and help balance insulin resistance.
Not only does Vitamin K2 increase skin’s healing capacity but also it supports natural barrier function. What’s more, by directing calcium to the most deserving areas of the body, Vitamin K2 inadvertently boosts skin health. By lessening the calcification of elastin within the skin, both collagen and elastin are preserved for a more youthful appearance.
Vitamin K2 should be taken alongside Vitamin D3, ideally in a combined supplement for maximum health benefits such as The LYMA Supplement, taken close to a meal.
The LYMA Supplement Starter Kit includes 30-day supply, copper storage vessel and membership that gives access to member pricing and benefits.
