There are two primary forms of Vitamin K: Vitamin K1 (Phylloquinone) and Vitamin K2 (menaquinone). There are a few different menaquinones such as menaquinone 4 and menaquinone 7. The main difference between these forms is that Vitamin K2 as menaquinone 7 is absorbed at a much higher rate than K1 and remains in the body 36 times longer, and moves beyond the liver into other tissues. In addition to other roles, Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) is essential for healthy, strong bones and for supporting arterial health. *
