Liposomal Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2: much more than a supplement.

The vitamin K2 it is a little-known fat-soluble nutrient, but essential for calcium metabolism and long-term health. Its main role is to activate proteins that regulate where calcium should go in the body.

• In bones and teeth, osteocalcin binds it to keep them strong.
• In the cardiovascular system, the MGP protein prevents calcium from being deposited in the arteries, reducing the risk of arterial stiffness^1,2.

Unlike vitamin K1 (mainly related to clotting), K2 acts on bone, arteries and tissues. This makes it a key nutrient even in people who do not have a vitamin K2 deficiency.

Benefits of vitamin K2:

• Bone health: improves mineral density and reduces the risk of fractures³.
• Cardiovascular protection: prevents arterial calcification and improves vascular elasticity^2.4.
• Balanced Metabolism: naturally regulates the use of calcium and phosphorus.
• Dental health: contributes to the maintenance of strong teeth.
• Long-term prevention: population studies have associated high intakes of K2 with a lower risk of osteoporosis and coronary disease⁴.

Why MK-7?

Inside the vitamin K2 there are several forms, called menaquinones. The MK-7 is the most recommended because:

• It has the longest half-life (stays active for more than 2-3 days).
• It is found in fermented foods such as nattō.
• It is the most studied form in bone and cardiovascular health².

The value of liposomal technology.

Liposomes are microspheres that encapsulate the vitamin K2, protecting it and promoting its intact arrival to the intestine and the blood⁵. This technology makes the K2:

• It is absorbed much better than in traditional presentations⁶.
• Maintain a more stable and prolonged effect in the body⁷.
• Offer real bioavailability, with more evident benefits.

The difference of Vitobest®.

With Liposomal Vitamin K2, from Vitobest®, you get the most active form (MK-7), with superior absorption and a real effect on both bones and arteries. A formula designed for those looking to prevent, protect and strengthen their long-term health.

Superior absorption. More effect. Guaranteed bone and cardiovascular health.

Vitobest® used for this supplement vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegan diets and free of titanium dioxide.

Product Claims:

• Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting.
• Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of bones in normal conditions.
