How does vitamin K2 protect my heart and bone health?
Vitamin K2 is essential for utilising calcium in the body and works with vitamin D3 to deposit calcium into the bones. Clinical studies have shown that vitamin K2 is vital in supporting bone health. It increases the production of a special protein, called osteocalcin, which is necessary to use calcium to build healthy bone tissue. Whilst osteocalcin activates osteoblasts, the cells that build bone, vitamin K2 helps to inhibit osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone.
