Has any of you noticed mental benefits from vitamin K?
I've been taking K1 (~ 400 mcg/day) combined with K2 MK-7 (~200-300 mcg per day) and I feel that my memory, focus and concentration have improved. I've taken MK-4 in the past (although not consistently and didn't pay much attention to any mental effects) but I didn't feel the same benefits from it.
I did a quick search on the forum but I couldn't find any threads discussing vitamin K and brain function.
Just an old thread from 2013 by a member @Lucy where Ray said that vitamin K can help with "mental clarity" among other things. This is the thread.
Also in a separate thread @encerent reported "mental clarity in a dose dependent manner".
If you do a search on Google Scholar for "vitamin k, brain function, cognitive function" there are quite a lot of studies. Vitamin K is highly involved in brain physiology, especially in the synthesis of sphingolipids.
