Vitamin K Complex 550 ug
Vitamin K2 works by affecting the protein osteocalcin, which helps strengthen bones. K2 also activates the protein MGP, a potent modulator of arterial calcification. If Vitamin K2 levels are deficient, MGP cannot prevent arteries from becoming stiff with calcium deposits.
K2 keeps bones stronger and keeps hearts, brains, and other organs from excess calcium build-up. Studies show that those who take calcium supplements have an increased risk for coronary heart disease because of low Vitamin K2. We typically advise patients to stop taking calcium supplements and instead take optimal forms of Vitamin D and K2.
Vitamin D 125 ug (5,000 IU)
The body needs Vitamin D to transport calcium in food from the stomach into the blood system. If Vitamin D is low then, regardless of calcium levels, calcium cannot be absorbed. A deficiency of Vitamin D causes your body to take calcium from bones or teeth, causing weak and brittle bones and increasing dental issues.
As Vitamin K2 intake increases, arteries become more flexible and collagen content increases in the bones, which is necessary for bone health. The lower the K2, the higher the bone fracture risk, up to 75% higher than normal.
Over 90% of the population is deficient.
Caution
The Institute of Medicine has identified a safe upper limit as 2000 IU daily in normal adults. Larger doses should be used under the supervision of a health care professional. Vitamin K should be used with medical supervision when taking anti-coagulation drugs like warfarin.
