Many people know that vitamin K1 is involved in helping blood clot. It is found in plant foods, especially leafy vegetables. Examples include kale, collard greens, spinach, carrot, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
Obviously vitamin K1 deficiency is rare.
But another vitamin - K2 - is essential for a completely different function. K2 helps:
• Prevents cardiovascular disease
• form strong bones and teeth
• Prevents osteoporosis
• Prevents kidney stones
• promotes healthy skin and prevents wrinkles
• Prevent cavities, and more.
K2 is found mainly in animal products and fermented foods. (It has some subtypes, but I'll announce that the information is beyond the scope of this short article!) The K2 food source is listed below.
Although K1 and K2 are similar in structure, they look different. Is there a connection between the two? And if so, what is it?
Let's start with How K2 Prevents Cardiovascular Disease
K2 promotes calcium deposits in bone and teeth, especially when combined with vitamin D3. This is because K2 activates osteocalcin and other proteins related to bone growth and bone formation.
But K2 also prevents calcium deposits in soft tissue, which is excluded. As a result, it can help prevent arterial absorption and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
That has to do with the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Why Animal Products are the main source of K2?
The human body can convert K1 to K2 but is limited in its ability to do so. Animals are better at the conversion process.
And here we find the relationship between the 2 vitamins.
Animals get their K1 from eating grass and other plants. They convert K1 to K2.
So, it's not enough to eat cheese or butter to get K2, for example - though some sources list only those foods. Instead, we have to choose cheese or butter from the grass cow because of the K1 / K2 connection.
Fermented cheeses - such as Jarlsberg, Edam, Gouda, cheddar, Brie, and blue - contain vitamin K2 formed by the bacteria used during their production. Of these, cheddar and Brie are very high in K2 due to the type of bacteria used.
Ghee (clarified butter) from grass fed cows is a very good source of K2, better than regular butter.
Egg yolk is a good source of K2 - but it has to come from a long-distance, grass-fed chicken.
Good poultry and poultry are good sources of K2, but again they must be from grass-fed animals.
The other two sources are goose hearts and chicken hearts. In line with other K2 information, my recommendation is to eat a free version of the animal product.
What Should Vegetarian Eats Get K2?
Natto from grown soy is one of the few non-vitamin K2 sources, and has high K2 content.
Sauerkraut is another source of K2.
I recommend a real and spiced cabbage spoon. This means that the label should list only two ingredients: cabbage and salt. Maybe water, too. Avoid "standard" products with vinegar. That would actually be cabbage mold, not sauerkraut flour.
Kimchi is an edible vegetable that also contains K2.
So there is a bit of information about vitamin K2. Because we can convert K1 to K2 to a certain extent, I would recommend you to eat lots of leafy green vegetables - for many health reasons, but also to get a lot of K1.
If you have any problems with blood clots, check with your doctor to make sure that eating green leafy vegetables is a good choice for you.
