It's now proven that adequate intake of vitamin K2 is vital for healthy bones, teeth and to reduce the risk of vascular damage, but it's also clear that almost all of us are vitamin K2 deficient, thanks to changes in dietary habits, the impact of the food industry and our shifting gut flora balance.
Symptoms of vitamin K2 deficiency are so common that they are almost considered normal in our society:
- vascular calcification,
- aortic calcification,
- coronary artery calcification,
- cardiovascular disease,
- heart attacks,
- sudden cardiac death,
- osteoporosis, bone fractures,
- dental problems, braces, etc.
Vitamin K2 also plays an important role in sports nutrition and supports strong bones throughout life, from childhood to old age.Vitamin K2 is known to activate two proteins (osteocalcin, MGP) in the body. The first works against osteoporosis and the second against atherosclerosis, protecting the heart, coronary artery health and soft tissue health, such as the kidneys (our kidneys have high concentrations of vitamin K2).
Vitamin K2 transports calcium circulating in the blood to the bones, preventing calcium from being deposited on the blood vessel walls, but once it has been deposited, it removes it and stops atherosclerosis. Osteoporosis and calcification of blood vessels are very common complaints in the adult population. Osteoporosis is more prevalent in women who have gone through menopause, while atherosclerosis is more prevalent in people with diabetes and increases the risk of death.
Combined with vitamin D3, K2 works against obesity and insulin resistance, and last but not least, these two vitamins are also an internal anti-wrinkle agent! - Yes, vitamin K2 prevents calcium from being deposited in the elastic fibres, so the protein that gives skin its elasticity doesn't collide with accumulated calcium, leaving skin smooth and wrinkle-free. Vitamin D and Vitamin K together, effectively fade stretch marks, dark spots, skin redness and scars.
DID YOU KNOW?
Unfortunately, daily consumption of K2-rich foods is not enough to meet the body's needs. To get the minimum 45mcg of vitamin K2 per day, a HEALTHY MAN would need to consume: 4kg of beef, 5 litres of milk, 140g of egg yolks, 80g of soft cheese, 59g of hard cheese or 5 litres of whole milk yoghurt.
As recent studies have shown that the combination of vitamin K2 form MK7 and vitamin D3 has important bone-building effects and is more effective in preventing bone loss than separately, our development has been consciously aimed at: a minimum daily dose of 120µg/day of vitamin K2 form MK-7 and a daily dose of 700µg/day of MK-4 with 2200NE of vitamin D3. MK-7 is a natural, pure, unadulterated and reliable source of vitamin K2, and its bioavailability is particularly high when dissolved in olive oil. The MK-7 form of natural vitamin K2 in our bodies allows us to benefit from calcium and vitamin D like never before.It contains no soybean oil, no other preservatives, no colours, no flavours.
