What is Vitamin K?
Vitamin K is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in blood coagulation and bone health. There are two main forms: Vitamin K1, primarily found in green leafy vegetables, and Vitamin K2, found in meat, dairy products, and fermented foods.
Why should you test Vitamin K levels?
Measuring Vitamin K levels can be useful for people with certain medical conditions, such as osteoporosis, or for those who have an increased risk of blood coagulation disorders. It is also valuable for individuals who wish to optimize their vitamin intake for general health promotion.
What does it indicate?
The amount of Vitamin K in the blood can indicate how well your body is supplied with this essential nutrient, which in turn influences blood coagulation and bone health.
What does a high Vitamin K level mean?
A high level of Vitamin K may indicate adequate or excessive intake of this vitamin, which in rare cases can increase the risk of blood coagulation issues.
What does a low Vitamin K level mean?
A low level of Vitamin K may indicate a deficiency, which can increase the risk of bleeding and bone weakness. This can be particularly concerning for the elderly, people with chronic diseases, or those using certain medications that affect Vitamin K absorption.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
