vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 is a nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones and cardiovascular health. It helps activate proteins that direct calcium to bones and teeth, strengthening them, while preventing calcium buildup in arteries and soft tissues, which can lead to heart disease. Found in certain fermented foods, dairy, and some animal products, vitamin K2 works synergistically with vitamin D to optimize calcium metabolism. Adequate intake supports bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis and arterial calcification, making it an important nutrient for overall health, especially as we age.
