Vitamin K
Roc takes 75 mcg of vitamin K1 twice a day in Mito-C, and 4 mg twice a day 4 days a month in Triumph. Naturally occurring forms of vitamin K include phylloquinone (vitamin K1), a family of molecules called menaquinones (MKs or vitamin K2), and menadione (K3). When consumed at the Daily Value near 140 mcg of K, vitamin K is the essential cofactor for the carboxylation of glutamic acid residues in many vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs) that are involved in blood coagulation, bone metabolism, prevention of vessel mineralization, and regulation of various cellular functions. At much higher intake, vitamin K activates a variety of calcium-related enzymes, decalcifying the circulatory system and reducing the risk for heart disease up to 50%, strenghtening bones as well. Vitamin K1 is metabolized through K3, which amplifies cancer killing ability of vitamin C. K3 is then metabolized to K2.
