Are you facing any issues with your teeth or gums, such as increased cavities or bleeding gums?
This could be a symptom of vitamin K2 deficiency.
Easy bruising or prolonged bleeding from minor cuts or injuries, as well as any recent bone fractures or being diagnosed with osteoporosis, can also be symptoms of vitamin K2 deficiency.
Vitamin K2 helps prevent calcification of arteries, a significant risk factor for heart diseases that often increase with age.
To prevent a deficiency of vitamin K2, it’s important to:
Include vitamin K2-rich foods in your diet.
Natto soy: 875 micrograms
Goose liver (pâté): 370 micrograms
Gouda or Brie cheese: 270 micrograms
Hard cheeses: 75 micrograms
Soft cheeses: 55 micrograms
Egg yolk: 20 – 30 micrograms
Cottage cheese: 25 micrograms
Butter: 16 micrograms
Chicken liver: 14 micrograms
Salami: 9 micrograms
Chicken breast: 9 micrograms
In cases where dietary intake may not be sufficient, or for individuals with specific health conditions, vitamin K2 supplements can be an option.
Vitamin K2 supplements can come as MK-4 (menaquinone-4) or MK-7 (menaquinone-7) forms, with MK-7 being more commonly recommended due to its longer half-life and better bioavailability. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
