Nature's Life Vitamin K 1000 mcg | Phylloquinone K-1 Supplement for Bone and Heart Health | 50 Vegetarian Capsules

Bone and Cardiovascular Benefits

Vitamin K1 is essential for maintaining strong, healthy bones by activating proteins that bind calcium to the bone matrix, supporting bone density and strength. It also contributes to cardiovascular health by preventing calcium from depositing in arteries, thereby supporting normal vascular function. Nature's Life Vitamin K1 helps your body direct calcium where it's needed most—to your bones, not your arteries.

What is Vitamin K1?

Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin vital for blood clotting and bone metabolism. Found naturally in green leafy vegetables, it plays a critical role in calcium utilisation. Nature's Life Vitamin K1 supplement provides 1000 mcg of phylloquinone per capsule to support your skeletal and cardiovascular systems.

Vitamin K1 vs K2: Key Differences

While both vitamin K1 and K2 are important, they differ in source and function. K1 (phylloquinone) is primarily involved in blood clotting and bone health, while K2 (menaquinone) is more active in cardiovascular health and bone metabolism. K1 is shorter-acting and plant-derived, whereas K2 comes from fermented foods and animal products. Nature's Life offers a K1 formula for focussed support of calcium utilisation and bone density.

Recommended Dosage

For adults, the recommended dietary allowance for vitamin K is 90–120 mcg per day, but therapeutic doses often range higher. Nature's Life Vitamin K1 delivers 1000 mcg per capsule—a convenient way to ensure adequate intake. Take one vegetarian capsule daily with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a health-care practitioner.

Potential Side Effects and Interactions

Vitamin K1 is generally well tolerated. However, high doses may interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin. If you are on anticoagulants, consult your physician before taking vitamin K supplements. Some individuals may experience mild digestive upset. As with any supplement, discontinue use and seek medical advice if adverse reactions occur. This product is a natural health product; always read and follow the label.
