Although vitamin K is known, mainly for its role in normal blood clotting, recent research has shown beneficial effects of vitamin K on bones and cardiovascular health.
In fact, bone quality depends on the adequate presence of vitamin K.
Vitamin K in arterial health revolves around its ability to support the proper metabolism of calcium in vascular structures.
Vitamin K-2, also called menaquinone, is the most biologically active form of vitamin K. NOW® Vitamin K-2 also includes the addition of Alfalfa, which is a rich source of natural vitamin K. (Alfalfa is rich in chlorophyll, vitamins, proteins and one of the richest foods in minerals). Far superior to other forms of vitamin K, the non-toxic vitamin K-2 presents many critical benefits for promoting health: better absorption rate - unlike vitamin K-1, since vitamin K-2 is not focused on the liver. The body stores only limited amounts of vitamin K in the liver and with only 10% of the absorption of vitamin K-1 from food.
Vitamin K-2 mainly acts outside the liver, in bones and blood vessels. Vitamin K is one of the most promising vitamins of our time. It may be the key vitamin for protection against signs of aging, since it is a stronger antioxidant than vitamin E and coenzyme Q10.
