Vitamin K2 Awareness in Sun-Protected Patients Supplementing With Vitamin D.

Vitamin K2 Awareness in Sun-Protected Patients Supplementing With Vitamin D. J Drugs Dermatol. 2021 Feb 01;20(2):228-229 Authors: Abouodah H, Douglas LM, Ho BV, Bhattacharya R, Wolf E, Wang-Weinman T, Liu D, Aires D Abstract Dermatologists often recommend vitamin D for sun-protected patients. Most patients are not aware of the key role vitamin K2 plays in vitamin D metabolism and do not receive sufficient dietary vitamin K2. A survey of 50 sun-protecting patients shows 4/50 understood the role of vitamin K2 and 1/50 was supplementing vitamin K2. Therefore, counseling on vitamin K2 supplementation may be of benefit to sun-protected dermatology patients. J Drugs Dermatol. 2021;20(2):228-229. doi:10.36849/JDD.2021.5829.
