HyGain Water soluble and bioavailable form of Vitamin K1 and K2 Critical for the function of osteocalcin for bone health Also available in 6.6lb pail 2.6lb pouch J298 BONAFIDE contains Quinaquanone, a patented and bioavailable form of Vitamins K1 and K2.Vitamins K1 & K2 have a critical effect on the function of osteocalcin, the bone protein that binds mineral and protein in the bone together. Without sufficient Vitamin K the binding process is incomplete and low density or defective bone and cartilage are produced.Vitamins K1 & K2 are naturally available in fresh, growing, green pasture but they are highly unstable, being degraded by UV light or wilting. Horses that do not have constant access to high quality pasture are likely deficient in Vitamin K, leading to a reduction in bone density and strength. Horses removed from a Vitamin K rich pasture and brought into a stall/pen regime have demonstrated a reduction in bone density within 7-10 days
