Research: Vitamin K2 in early childhood may influence children's height growth

A Vietnamese news site reports that the use of vitamin K2 supplements in the first thousand days after birth may have a positive effect on children's height growth. According to the source, this period, which roughly covers the first three years of life, is crucial for development.

The report does not go into details about the research, such as the size of the group of children, the exact dosage, or the scientific basis. It is also not clear under what circumstances the research was conducted or whether other factors play a role. Therefore, it is difficult to assess the reliability of the conclusion.

Vitamin K2 occurs naturally in certain foods and plays a role in bone metabolism. According to other experts, whether extra supplementation in early childhood actually affects height is still a matter of discussion. The Vietnamese report does not provide additional information on this.
