Zusammenfassung

Das Thema „Vitamin K“ boomt derzeit im Gesundheitsmarkt. Vitamin K ist bekanntlich für die Blutgerinnung von Bedeutung. Allerdings ist Vitamin K keine einheitliche Substanz, sondern eine Gruppe engverwandter Derivate mit einer 2-Methyl-1,4-Naphthochinon-Struktur als gemeinsamem Grundgerüst. Von hohem Interesse sind darunter das Phyllochinon (Vitamin K1) sowie die als Vitamin K2 bezeichneten Menachinone MK-4 und MK-7 (▶Abb. [1]). Aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten weisen zunehmend auf einen hohen Nutzen der K-Vitamere in der Prävention und Therapie von Knochen- und Gefäßkrankheiten hin. Der folgende Beitrag legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Knochengesundheit, erhebt aber keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit.
