Menachinone

Menachinone, or vitamin K2, plays an important role in maintaining bone and cardiovascular health.

This vitamin helps absorb calcium, necessary for bone health, while simultaneously preventing its deposition in the blood vessels.

When planning a ketogenic diet, it is worth paying attention to foods rich in menachinone:

• Fermented dairy products, such as hard and soft cheeses, especially gouda, brie, and mozzarella.
• Egg yolks are an excellent source of vitamin K2, as well as other nutrients, and are a key component of the ketogenic diet.
• Some types of meat, especially fatty cuts, such as beef liver, dark meat from chicken and duck, as well as high-fat steaks and other animal parts.
• Fermented soy products, such as natto, although containing carbohydrates, can be acceptable in small amounts within the ketogenic diet.
• Some types of fish, including mackerel, sardines, and herring, are also sources of vitamin K2.
