The powerful form of vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin, well known above all for the important role it plays in blood clotting. However, vitamin K is also essential for the formation of strong bones and the prevention of heart disease, as well as playing crucial roles in other bodily processes. Unfortunately, vitamin K is sometimes referred to as “the forgotten vitamin” because the major benefits it brings are often overlooked.

According to the opinion of one of the world’s best vitamin K researchers, Dr. Cees Vermeer, as with vitamin D, almost all humans have vitamin K deficiencies.

Most people, through their diet, take in a quantity of vitamin K sufficient to maintain adequate blood clotting values, but not enough to protect themselves from a whole series of further health problems.

The following list summarizes potential health problems related to vitamin K deficiency:

• arterial calcification, diseases
• cardiovascular and varicose veins;
• brain health problems, including dementia (scientific studies currently underway);
• osteoporosis;
• tooth decay;
• prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer and
• leukemia;
• infectious diseases such as pneumonia.
