Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Thompson K 100 mcg delivers Vitamin K, specifically Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone). At the cellular level, Vitamin K acts as an essential cofactor for gamma-glutamyl carboxylase. This enzyme activates specific proteins responsible for calcium binding. In the liver, it activates prothrombin, facilitating the blood clotting cascade. In bone tissue, it activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, promoting mineralization and structural integrity. This mechanism ensures calcium is utilized effectively for vascular health and skeletal strength.

Usage & Safety
The standard dosage is 1 capsule daily, taken with a meal to enhance absorption of this fat-soluble vitamin. Consistency is vital for maintaining stable plasma levels. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you are taking anticoagulant medications (e.g., Warfarin), as Vitamin K can interfere with their efficacy. Keep out of reach of children and do not use if the safety seal is broken.
