Vitamin K...different types...different results!

The correct form of Vitamin K can be very beneficial to your heart and arteries.

I thought that I would comment further on this interesting Vitamin as I have referred to it in a couple of recent posts.  The references were related to Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and Vitamin K2 (menaquinone).  Vitamin K1 is the form that is most commonly used in supplements although we only use the Vitamin K2 form in our supplements.  The reason why we use this form is because it is much more beneficial to the body.  Whereas K2 has been proven to be effective in multiple areas the jury is still out on the benefits of K1, although some companies try to 'piggyback' the benefits of K2 and relate it to K1.

Why then doesn't everyone use the K2 version?  Simple answer...cost!  K1 is only about $300/kg but K2 is around $14,000/kg.

A recent study was published which helps demonstrate not only the effectiveness of Vitamin K2 but also how it compares with Vitamin K1.  If you are using any version of Total Balance and/or Cardio-Klenz you may find this article interesting.

We also use the K2 form in our multi-vitamin/mineral formula Multi-Xtra as well.

Yes Warren, it's so expensive to get K2. For 100mcg here in the U.S. they want $39.99. You have a 180mcg in TB Premium. Thanks for adding it.

Hi Alex,


Yes, I am aware of the prices that some companies are charging. Honestly, I cannot understand it. To charge $39.99 for just 100mcg of K2 is just gouging their customers and showing them zero respect. I have to admit it annoys me because it is unfair.


Things are tough and they are going to get tougher...companies and individuals alike should learn to be fair and then they will survive the tougher times ahead...and in good health.
