Science & Research

Vitamin K 2 (menaquinone-7) is a fat-soluble nutrient with an important role in maintaining arterial calcium balance and vascular elasticity. 1-12 In a systematic review involving five studies, higher intakes of vitamin K 2 were associated with cardiovascular health. 10 In an observational study involving 564 postmenopausal women, higher intake of vitamin K 2 was associated with calcium balance in the vascular tissue. 8 One of the primary functions of vitamin K 2 is to support the carboxylation of matrix Gla-protein (MGP), a key protein involved in calcium balance. 11 Accordingly, several studies indicate that Vitamin K 2 also supports proper utilization of calcium in bone. Clinical research indicates that obtaining adequate amounts helps to maintain bone health. 1-6 Vitamin K 2 and vitamin D 3 both participate in the regulation of osteocalcin, a biomarker of bone formation. 1,13‡
