Vitamin K in VH Life: 30µg per sachet, and what it may claim
A VH Life sachet provides 30µg of vitamin K (40% of the NRV), as vitamin K1, with vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) also named on the box. That is above the 15% of NRV a single-portion food must provide to carry vitamin K's authorised claims, so VH Life may use all 2 of them, for example: Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin found in green leafy vegetables, vegetable oils and cereal grains.
