Today we're going to talk about vitamin K2, and I'm going to share the best source of vitamin K2.

While vitamin K1 supports blood clotting, vitamin K2 supports calcium transportation. Vitamin K2 works with vitamin D. Vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 are important to take together.

Vitamin D raises calcium in the blood, but vitamin K2 pushes calcium from the blood into the bone. Vitamin K2 also uses LDL cholesterol as part of its transportation process.

The health benefits of vitamin K2:

• It supports healthy bones

• It supports strong teeth

• It helps prevent calcium from building up in the arteries, cartilage, and joints

• It helps support healthy blood sugar levels

• It helps generate ATP (energy)

• It supports healthy testosterone levels

• It supports the brain

Vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 are fat-soluble—low-fat diets may lead to a vitamin K2 deficiency. Cheese, especially hard cheese, is a rich source of vitamin K2, with Muenster cheese at the top of the list.

Other foods high in vitamin K2:

• Grass-fed butter

• Goose liver

• Duck liver

• Duck fat

• Eel

• Beef liver

• Lamb's liver

• Ground beef

• Grass-fed hot dogs

• High-quality bacon

• Pork

• Sauerkraut

• Cod liver oil
