What is VITAMIN K2?

Vitamin K2 is a specific form of Vitamin K that plays a vital role in directing calcium to the bones and teeth, preventing its accumulation in soft tissues like arteries and kidneys. This test measures your K2 levels to assess its contribution to bone and cardiovascular health.

Why is this test important?

Adequate Vitamin K2 levels are crucial for strong bones and preventing arterial calcification, which can lead to heart disease. A deficiency might be linked to osteoporosis and cardiovascular issues. This test helps evaluate risk factors and guide dietary or supplement recommendations.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 10-12 hours may be required. Please confirm with your healthcare provider.
