Bioclinic Naturals, Vitamin K2, 100mcg, 90 Vegetarian Capsules

Vitamin K2 plays a critical role in protecting the heart, as well as in building strong bones. As a director of calcium, vitamin K2 guides the mineral toward tissues where it is needed, such as bones, and away from tissues where it could have a negative effect, such as arteries. Only K2 in the form of MK-7 has been shown to offer 24-hour protection in a single daily dose. Other commercially available subtypes of K2, such as MK-4, only last 4–6 hours in the body and are required in much larger dosages to be effective.

From a clinical standpoint, lower vitamin K intake correlates with an increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, plaque instability, and, more recently, diabetes. Conversely, higher vitamin K intake, particularly K2, has been linked to lower all-cause mortality, reduced risk of coronary Cardio Health disease, aortic calcification, as well as decreased incidence and fatality of cancer. Additionally, increased intake of MK-7, with its extended half-life and broader extra-hepatic distribution, is associated with a lower risk of fractures and greater bone mineral density.

• Provides 100 mcg per serving of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7)
• MK-7 has the greatest half-life of all forms of vitamin K, as well as the best extra-hepatic distribution
