Vitamin K - formerly 3-K Complete 60 caps Thorne Research

Vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 (as MK-4 and MK-7) – all in one capsule

• Supports elasticity of the arteries
• Helps maintain bone mineral density
• Provides support for patients with metabolic syndrome
• Offers nutritional support for oncology patients
• Works synergistically with vitamin D to direct calcium to the bones

The activation in the body of important proteins – via a process known as carboxylation – appears to be at the center of most of vitamin K’s therapeutic benefits. When vitamin K is present as a co-factor,the proteins that are activated in this vitamin K-dependent process include multiple blood-clotting proteins (prothrombin and others),bone mineralization proteins (osteocalcin and calbindin),and the vascular calcification inhibitor protein (matrix Gla-protein).

In the body,vitamin K “pairs up” with vitamin D,much like magnesium pairs up with calcium. The result is that both vitamin K and magnesium will help keep calcium in the bones and out of the blood vessels and other soft tissues. If you or your patients are taking supplemental vitamin D,then be sure to add supplemental vitamin K as 3-K Complete.
