More recently, the research has been shifting to Vitamin K2’s ability to play a significant role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin K2 helps to guide calcium towards areas of the body where it is needed such as the skeletal system, and away from areas like arteries where it could have a negative affect (arterial calcification). Arterial calcification is an important independent risk factor for the development of health concerns including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and renal disease.
