Vitamin K1 100 G Tabs

Solgar Vitamin K1 (Phytomenadione) 100 µg Tablets contains Vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin. There are 3 types of vitamin K: K1 (phytomenadione) is obtained from food, K2 (menaquinone) is produced by intestinal bacteria and K3 ( menadione) is a synthetic form.

Vitamin K is important for blood clotting and is essential for the synthesis of blood clotting proteins in the liver. Vitamin K is also known to help maintain healthy bones. This is due to its ability to activate calcitonin, a hormone produced by humans, which in turn helps absorb calcium into the bone. Absorption of vitamin K occurs mainly in the upper part of the small intestine through bile or bile salts and pancreatic juices, and then it is transported to the liver.
