From Heart to Bone: The Benefits of Vitamin K2
Story at-a-glance
- Vitamin K2 helps prevent vascular calcification by guiding calcium away from your arteries and into your bones, reducing the risk of heart disease and arterial stiffness
- Research shows people with higher vitamin K2 intake have a 29% lower risk of peripheral artery disease, 44% reduction in Type 2 diabetes and 41% reduction in hypertension
- Vitamin K2 activates proteins that bind calcium to the bone matrix, constantly supporting bone strength and reducing risk of fractures and osteoporosis
- The recommended daily dosage is 90 to 180 micrograms for adults, 90 micrograms for teenagers and 45 micrograms for children under 10 years old
- Good sources of K2 include fermented foods like natto, aged cheeses, egg yolks, grass fed dairy products and organic, grass fed beef
