Life Extension Low Dose Vitamin K2 45 mcg – 90 Softgels – Gluten-Free, Non-GMO – Supports Arterial & Cardiovascular Health

Brand: Life Extension

Color: Light Yellow

Features:

• VITAMIN K FOR ARTERIAL HEALTH – Vitamin K is involved in how calcium interacts with your arterial walls, encouraging healthy calcium balance in your arteries. But it can be hard to get enough vitamin K from food sources.
• GETTING ENOUGH K2 – Vitamin K2 comes from meat, eggs and cheeses. Some people avoid these foods for health reasons, which can make it hard to get enough. This supplement contains the form of vitamin K2 called MK-7, which has been clinically studied for arterial health.
• STAYS IN YOUR SYSTEM – Vitamin K2 remains biologically active in the body far longer than vitamin K1: measurable levels of K2 (MK-7) have been detected 72 hours after you ingest it. That gives your body more time to make use of all that heart-healthy vitamin K
• INGREDIENTS MATTER – Sourced using only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency your body deserves. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free, and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every product we produce

Details: An abundance of human clinical data reveals that vitamin K plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bone density by facilitating the transport of calcium from the bloodstream into the bone.1-5 Vitamin K is also required by calcium-regulating proteins in the arteries. Matrix Gla-protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent protein, and it must be carboxylated to function properly. Poor vitamin K status leads to inactive uncarboxylated MGP (ucMGP), which accumulates at sites of arterial calcification.6,7 Since MGP is a potent local inhibitor of arterial calcification, MGP is important in relation to the health of the entire cardiovascular system. Without adequate vitamin K, calcium in the blood can bind to the arterial wall resulting in calcification.8,9 As people age, even a subclinical vitamin K deficiency can pose risks to the vascular system. Poor vitamin K status also results in increased circulating levels of undercarboxylated osteocalcin that is shown to be associated with increased bone loss in postmenopausal women.
