Life Extension Low Dose Vitamin K2 (MK 7) 90 Softgels

Description

An abundance of human clinical data reveals that vitamin K plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bone density by facilitating the transport of calcium from the bloodstream into the bone.1 5 Vitamin K is also required by calcium regulating proteins in the arteries. Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K dependent protein and it must be carboxylated to function properly. Poor vitamin K status leads to inactive uncarboxylated MGP (ucMGP) which accumulates at sites of arterial calcification.6 7 Since MGP is a potent local inhibitor of arterial calcification MGP is important in relation to the health of the entire cardiovascular system. Without adequate vitamin K calcium in the blood can bind to the arterial wall resulting in calcification.8 9 As people age even a subclinical vitamin K deficiency can pose risks to the vascular system. Poor vitamin K status also results in increased circulating levels of undercarboxylated osteocalcin that is shown to be associated with increased bone loss in postmenopausal women. Vitamin K facilitates the transport of calcium from the bloodstream into the bone
Helps to maintain arterial health and healthy bone density.
