Vitacost Vitamin K2 Softgels 50mcg

Vitamin K is a group of compounds known as quinones, needed by the body to make certain types of proteins required for normal blood coagulation and bone health.* Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is found primarily in leafy green vegetables such as spinach and kale, while vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is produced by bacteria in both human and animal intestines.
