CLINICAL K2 (MENAQUINONE 7 -MK7)
Clinical K2 is a blend of Menaquinone-7, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin A.
Benefits at a Glance:
- Vitamin K2 known as menaquinone (MK) 7 is the form that has been shown to support bone density by facilitating calcium transport into bone
- Promotes a healthy heart and vascular system
- Necessary for the activation of osteocalcin, a protein necessary to transport calcium from the blood to form healthy bone matrix.*
- Functions primarily as a co-factor for the enzyme responsible for the carboxylation of specific bone proteins. Carboxylation is an important biochemical process that gives the bone proteins “claws” so they can hold onto calcium. Proteins that don’t get enough Vitamin K can’t hold onto calcium. Without a functioning protein to control calcium, it will drift out of bone and into other soft tissue. Vitamin K2 helps to redirect the placement of calcium.*
Health benefits of Clinical Vitamin K2
The Rotterdam Heart Study, which tracked 4,800 subjects for seven years, revealed that people who consume the most dietary K2 have healthier hearts when compared to people who consume the least. [1] Further research studies have shown that higher vitamin K levels can cause a 37% regression of preformed arterial calcification and also correspond to less calcium deposits in the aorta.[2],[3]
