The invention relates to Vitamin K, its derivatives and combinations to increase the energy levels in diverse disease states and life style disorders, which are characterized by low energy level due to inadequate VO2
max
, and pO

and low availability of ATP molecules. VO
2max
, peak oxygen uptake, is intimately connected to several diseases and life style disorders such as Metabolically Obese but Normal Weight (MONW), Overweight/Obese, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, hypertension, cerebral vascular insufficiency, immune deficient states, cancer, aging-related disorders, reduced cardiopulmonary reserves and muscular fitness in athletics, high altitude climbing and exercise. The invention discloses that innovative blends of components that, in unique combination, synergistically bestow enhancement of VO
2max
leading to higher energy level, less fatigability and energy adaptations to stressful stimuli in humans and animals. Thus, vitamin K, its derivatives and combinations enhance the energy availability, primarily by the activation of AMP protein kinase (AMPK).
