Vitamin K2 – Dr Mercola

Vitamin K2

Could your cardiovascular health or your “vascular age” be a more accurate indicator of your health and longevity? Some cardiovascular experts today believe so. Your arteries need to remain elastic and flexible to effectively transport blood and nutrients to all your cells and tissues. Researchers now realize much of that depends on your body’s balance of vitamins K2, D, and calcium. You want calcium to go to your bones and teeth, and not your arteries and organs. A protein called MGP (matrix Gla protein) is key and requires vitamin K2 to function. Researchers have discovered that healthy arterial tissues contain up to 100 times more vitamin K2.* Considering that an estimated 97 percent of the Western hemisphere may be deficient in vitamin K2, this is a nutrient you don’t want to ignore. Dr. Mercola’s Vitamin K2 supplies a nutritional dose of 180 mcg of a patented form of vitamin K2, MenaQ7®. This is the first and only clinical study of vitamin K2 for both bone and cardiovascular health.* Studies show MenaQ7®:

• Is the most bioavailable, bioactive, and longest-lasting form of vitamin K2

• Provides optimal vitamin K2 in your body to activate vitamin K2-dependent MGP*

• Supports vascular elasticity*

• Helps support bone strength and mass*

• Supports muscle, nerve, and brain health*
