What we use: Phylloquinone (K1) AND MK-7 (K2)²¹,²²

What it does:

• Makes your blood clot when you get cut²¹
• Sends calcium to your bones (not your arteries where it causes problems)²¹
• Turns on proteins that do various jobs²¹
• Keeps bones strong²¹

When you don't get enough:

• Bleed too much from small cuts²¹
• Bruise super easily²¹
• Women get heavy periods²¹
• Blood shows up where it shouldn't (in pee or poop)²¹
• Babies without enough can have bleeding in their brain²¹

Why we pay more for BOTH forms: Most companies use just K1 (if they use any at all). But K1 only helps with blood clotting and only lasts 8 hours in your body.²¹ K2 (specifically MK-7) lasts 68 hours and makes sure calcium goes to your bones instead of clogging up your arteries.²² Using both costs way more than just K1, but your bones and heart are worth it.²²
