Hi Tom, yes the vitamin K in vegetables is a different form to what is found in animal products. From what I understand, in a healthy person K1 is supposed to convert to menatetrenone, but some people do not convert it as well as others. This may be a reason why some people do better on paleo-style diets.

Ideally it would be good to get all vits from food, but I get very ill if I do not take supplements. Have just had a vitamin D test back and it was 44 (should be 50+) despite supplementing 3000mg daily for 18 months.

Apparently Natto is one of the most bioavailable sources of vitamin K, but you cannot get it in the UK and it sounds disgusting!
