==The benefits of Vitamin K are==
*Vitamin K1—phylloquinone, also known as phytonadione : Vitamin K1 makes up 90% of the vitamin K found in the Western diet. Vitamin K1 is a necessary and important contributor to bone growth and overall bone health. Vitamin K1 is best known in its ability to promote blood clotting. In fact, the letter “K” comes from the German term, koagulation.
* vitamin K2—also known as menaquinone—is very different. Vitamin K2 is essential for your cardiovascular health because of its amazing ability to utilize calcium. Calcium belongs in our bones, not in our blood. When our vitamin K2 levels are low, calcium collects in our blood and can lead to calcification in our arteries.
*Vitamin K3—menadione synthetic variant : This synthetic form of vitamin K is NOT for human consumption. It offers no benefits and comes with possibly risky side effects. Unfortunately, many vitamin manufacturers offer vitamin K3 as a supplement, so it is advisable to steer clear of these supplements!
