Show Notes
In 1929, Henrik Dam of Denmark discovered an "anti-hemorrhagic factor” which came to be named vitamin K, from the German/Danish word koagulationsvitamin (clotting vitamin). We know that vitamin K presents in multiple varieties but most health professionals have only been taught about vitamin K1 (phytomenadione). In today’s episode, Dr Hogne Vik takes us through the many forms of vitamin K, their differing actions and the exciting clinical applications of vitamin K2 (menaquinone) MK-7. Discussing everything from the headline actions of vitamin K2 MK7 in the "calcium paradox" to the benefits for menopausal women and the future exciting research in the area of immune activation.
