Description

Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that was ignored for a long time but is now receiving the scientific attention it deserves. It should not be confused with vitamin K, also referred to as K1, which is essential for blood coagulation. K2 has a very important role which is transporting calcium to your bones and teeth. So if you want to build and maintain strong bones, supplementing calcium is not enough, you also need vitamin K2.

But strong bones and teeth is only half the story. Ask yourself, what happens if you don’t have sufficient K2 and calcium doesn’t get adequately to your bones and teeth? Well, it goes into the soft tissues of your body. It goes into your arteries, forming plaques and promoting atherosclerosis, it goes into your kidneys (forming the painful kidney stones), it gets deposited in joints and breast tissue where it causes all kinds of mischief. So, K2 not only does something good, but just as importantly it prevents something bad from happening.

It should be emphasized that supplementing vitamin D3 greatly increases calcium absorption, therefore adding vitamin K2 is highly recommended to ensure the calcium is properly and safely utilized.
