Vitamin K supplements

Until relatively recently, vitamin K was one of the lesser-known vitamins – but the health benefits, which include the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting, speak for themselves.

Healthspan provides a high-strength, bioavailable Vitamin K2 supplement to make it easy for everyone to maintain adequate levels. Each easy-to-swallow tablet provides 75ug vitamin K2, which is 100 per cent of the EU NRV (nutrient reference value, the daily amount required by the average person to prevent deficiency.)

It is thought that a daily supplemental intake of 1mg is unlikely to cause harm, but the recommended dose on the back of the pack should not be exceeded unless agreed with your doctor beforehand.

Those with a blood-clotting disorder or anyone who is taking warfarin or any other blood-thinning treatment should seek medical advice before taking vitamin K supplements (or any supplement with vitamin K in the formulation.)
