Vitamin K supplements in the UAE
Vitamin K plays a key role in blood clotting and in directing calcium to bones and away from arteries. It is found in leafy green vegetables, but intake is low in many people who eat few vegetables — especially relevant in the UAE where dietary patterns vary widely. Yamamoto Vitamin K is made in Italy, with fast delivery across the UAE and GCC.
Vitamin K2 for bone and cardiovascular health
Vitamin K2 (particularly the MK-7 form) activates proteins that guide calcium into bone and teeth and prevent it from depositing in arteries. It is commonly paired with vitamin D3 because both are needed for optimal calcium utilisation. If you supplement with vitamin D, consider adding vitamin K2 alongside it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between K1 and K2? K1 (phylloquinone) is mainly involved in blood clotting. K2 (menaquinone) is more active in bone and cardiovascular health. Most supplement research on bone and arterial health uses K2.
Can vitamin K interact with medications? Yes, vitamin K affects blood clotting and can interact with anticoagulant medications such as warfarin. Consult your doctor if you take blood thinners.
