New research is focusing on the synergistic relationship between vitamin K (specifically, vitamin K2) and vitamin D3, especially in terms of bone strength and cardiovascular health. A group of naturally occurring and structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K is essential for the proper utilization of calcium. Through its activation of the protein osteocalcin, vitamin K helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the mineral matrix in bone. In addition, vitamin K has been found to help maintain bone mineral density by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, a cell that breaks down the bone matrix. Therefore, vitamin K and vitamin D not only share similar qualities, but they also act in synergy within the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe addition of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMenaQ7® PRO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto this formula is backed by extensive research.

In fact, approximately 70% of the western population is deficient in vitamin K2. Compromised intestinal absorption can also lead to insufficient K2 levels leaving calcium available to be exported out of bone and into other tissues. Other medications such as antibiotics, cholesterol-lowering medications, and laxatives have also been found to contribute to a deficiency of vitamin K. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBone Health\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding and maintaining healthy bones requires a number of key nutrients including vitamin K, for the proper binding of calcium to the bone matrix. A 2005 study from northern Finland found that those with greater levels of vitamin K-carboxylated osteocalcin had stronger bones than those with lower levels of the protein. A Japanese study found superior bone health among women who were frequent MK-7-rich natto eaters than those who were not. Another randomized study which split 172 women into a vitamin K2 group, a vitamin D3 group, a vitamin K2 and D3 group, and a placebo group for two years found that the combination of vitamin D3 and K2 had the most benefits for supporting bone health among the groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCardiovascular Health and Blood Sugar Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin K plays a key role in supporting the cardiovascular system as well as blood sugar balance already within normal levels.

In fact, approximately 70% of the western population is deficient in vitamin K2.

Vitamin K is an excellent example of this theory. Hypothetically, a short term deficiency in vitamin K would lead to a reduction in blood clotting. This direct threat to survival does not happen, as the body uses its metabolic reserve of vitamin K to ensure immediate needs are met. If continued, this could begin to impact long-term reserves of vitamin K, reserves which are vital for the maintenance of proper bone strength and arterial elasticity. These issues are related to a loss of vitamin K-dependent proteins not required for short-term survival, nevertheless presenting long-term health challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ORTHO MOLECULAR PRODUCTS","offers":[{"title":"30","offer_id":46338036760726,"sku":"125030","price":19.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60","offer_id":46338036793494,"sku":"125060","price":33.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/3521\/4486\/files\/125-30-vitamink2-withd3.tmb-media470_8c39ac2e-d0ab-4a6d-8d80-f3587c04fffb.png?v=1776043952"}],"url":"https:\/\/wvuqwn-p7.myshopify.com\/collections\/vitamin-d.oembed","provider":"Granite State Compounding + Wellness Pharmacy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
