Forms of vitamin K, composition and quality

Vitamin K is a group of fat-soluble compounds. Vitamin K1, or phylloquinone, is found mainly in green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach and broccoli. Vitamin K2, or the menaquinones, includes MK-4, which is found in foods of animal origin, and MK-7, which occurs in fermented foods such as natto, a Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans. The capsule excipients are microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, mannitol, silicon dioxide and medium-chain triglycerides, and the capsule shell is made of hypromellose. The product is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or sesame ingredients, but the facility also processes ingredients containing these allergens.
