Vitamin K1
- Question
- Dear team,
in former times I got Konakion, this is Vitamin K1. The I was switched to Rainfarn Vitamin combination ADEK.
I discovered, that the ADEK vitamins contain Vitamin K2. I heard, that Vitamin K1 is helpful in case of haemotpysis.
What is the difference between the two vitamin K preparations? - Answer
- Hallo M.
in contrast to Vitamin K1, Vitamin K2 has an influence on the bone metabolism and helps to prevent osteoporosis. Vitamin K 2 is the more active form of the K-Vitamins and is is distributed better in the tissues of the body, where it fulfills other functions such as preventing arteriosklerosis and the consequences.
Vitamin K2 is produced in the bowel, however in case of CF this production can be impaired. Therefore patients with CF should rather take Vitamin K2 instead of K1.
Concerning heamoptysis both Vitamins are effective.
Best regards,
