Vitamin K-2

"Researchers have confirmed that Vitamin K-2, especially a form called Menaquinone-7 (MK-7), appears to have a profoundly positive impact on human health. For one thing MK-7 has been shown in numerous studies to actually extract calcium out of our blood and arteries and then deposit it right into our growing and aging bones! And this is but the tip of the iceberg as other studies are now bringing to light additional benefits such as cholesterol reduction, prevention and possible amelioration of Alzheimer.s disease, some forms of cancer and more."

Health Benefits of Vitamin K2

What is MK7?

Vitamin K-2 is composed of 13 compounds (known as isomers in technical parlance) called menaquinones which are numbered 1,2,3.etc. Until relatively recently scientists were not sure what roles these menaquinones play in the human body. By experimenting with various menaquinones they began to narrow down what they do not only in terms of routine functions in the body, but also their effectiveness in preventing or treating specific health conditions.

In Japan, for example, Menaquinone 4 has been approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health as an effective therapy for treating Osteoporosis (bone loss). Recent studies, however, are now pointing to MK-7 as even more appropriate and effective in Osteoporosis.
