HoneyCombs Vitamin K1 Liquid Drops – Phytonadione for Newborns & Adults, 30 mL

Health Benefits of Vitamin K1

Vitamin K1 is a fat-soluble nutrient that plays several critical roles in the body. It supports normal blood clotting by aiding the synthesis of clotting factors in the liver, which helps maintain proper coagulation. For bone health, vitamin K1 assists in the carboxylation of osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, promoting bone mineralization and strength. Additionally, it activates matrix Gla protein, which helps prevent calcium from depositing in soft tissues, thereby supporting cardiovascular health.

Many Canadians include vitamin K1 in their daily routine to complement a balanced diet and active lifestyle. Our liquid drops offer a simple way to ensure adequate intake.

What Makes This Vitamin K1 Liquid Drops Stand Out?

This product is designed for both newborns and adults. For infants, vitamin K drops are often recommended by healthcare professionals to support healthy blood clotting after birth. For adults, vitamin K1 helps maintain strong bones and proper calcium utilisation.

• Liquid form: Easy to administer, especially for babies and those who have difficulty swallowing pills.
• Fast-absorbing: The liquid formula can be mixed with food or taken directly for quick absorption.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured under strict quality standards.
• Gentle formula: Suitable for newborns, children, and adults alike.

Vitamin K1 vs K2: Key Differences

While both forms are essential, they have distinct roles:

• Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone): Primarily involved in blood clotting. Found in green vegetables. Has a shorter half-life in the body.
• Vitamin K2 (menaquinone): More active in bone and cardiovascular health. Produced by bacteria and found in fermented foods. Has a longer half-life.

For general health maintenance, many experts recommend a combination of both. Our product provides vitamin K1, which is the form most commonly used for newborn supplementation. If you also want K2, consider taking it separately or as part of a multivitamin.

Recommended Dosage

Health Canada recommends an adequate intake for vitamin K that varies by age. For adults, the recommended daily intake is 90–120 mcg per day. Newborns typically receive a single dose of 0.5–1 mg at birth, but follow-up oral supplementation may be recommended by your paediatrician.

Each serving of our liquid drops provides a precise amount (check the product label for exact micrograms per serving). Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement, especially for infants.

Potential Side Effects & Interactions

Vitamin K1 is generally safe when taken as directed. However, individuals taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin) should be cautious, as vitamin K can interfere with their effects. Always discuss supplement use with your doctor if you are on any medication.

Possible mild side effects are rare but may include stomach upset. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Keep out of reach of children.

What Is Vitamin K1?

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin naturally found in green leafy vegetables. It plays an essential role in blood clotting and bone metabolism. As a dietary supplement, vitamin K1 is often taken to support bone density and cardiovascular health. Unlike vitamin K2 (menaquinone), K1 is produced by plants and is the primary form of vitamin K in the human diet.

Our liquid vitamin K1 drops provide a convenient way to supplement this important nutrient, especially for those who prefer a liquid form over tablets or capsules. The drops are suspended in safflower oil to enhance absorption, as vitamin K1 is fat-soluble.
