Is vitamin K potassium?
Vitamin K is a family of chemically related substances called naphthoquinones. There are two major types of vitamin K that are important for humans: K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone or phytonadione) is a natural nutrient found in green leafy vegetables. Vitamin K2 (menaquinones or MKs) in foods are mostly in the form of MK4 and MK7. You can convert vitamin K1 directly into MK4 within certain tissues in your body, and as long as you are getting enough vitamin K1, you are likely to be getting enough vitamin K2 (MK4 type). MK7 is a natural product of bacteria that live in your lower intestine. MK7 is also found in large amounts in the fermented Japanese soy product known as natto.Vitamin K can:Allow your blood to clot normallyHelp protect against osteoporosisPrevent oxidative cell damage
