Half of the VITAMIN K our body absorbes is from green leafy vegetables. Unfortunately, it turns out that most foods thought to be rich in VITAMIN K have less vitamin K than previously thought. Most multi-vitamins don't even contain vitamin K and the ones that do don't have enough.
An ancient Japanese food called natto is the best natural source of vitamin K2. The highest amounts of vitamin K are found in fermented foods such as natto. Adding fermented foods to your diet is necessary to reap the health benefits of vitamin K.
Vitamin K2 MK-7 and Bone Health
There have been several studies that confirm the effectiveness of vitamin K in bone health. Studies show that calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K. Vitamin K has been associated with osteoblasts. Osteoblasts are cells that build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin. Osteocalcin is a protein like glue that incorporates calcium into the bones. Without vitamin K2, osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body. Proteins can't hold onto calcium without enough vitamin K. Without a functioning protein to control calcium, it can drift out of the bones and into arteries and other soft tissues, but vitamin K2 redirects the calcium into bones.
Vitamin K2 MK-7 and Heart Health
Studies have shown that an adequate intake of vitamin K2 helps to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. In one population-based study, it was found that those who supplemented with adequate amounts of vitamin K2 had a lower risk of aortic calcification and coronary heart disease than those who supplemented with vitamin K1. The vitamin K2 found in this formula is the most concentrated, health-promoting form of this vitamin available.
Vitamin K2 and Blood Clotting
"K" in vitamin K comes from the German word koagulation. Vitamin K2 plays an essential role in blood clotting. Deficiencies can lead to nose bleeds, easy bruising and extremely heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia). It is important to take vitamin K2 with EstroSense to help alleviate heavy periods.
