MenaQ7 Vitamin K2 by Springfield from £10.20
The role of vitamin K has for the past decade been linked to two of the most important health issues, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. This link specifically centers on calcium utilization, whereby inadequate metabolism of calcium can result in concurrent arterial calcification and osteoporosis. This is called the Calcium Paradox. The calcium paradox is explained simply as getting calcium in the right place- i.e. into the bone structures and out of the arterial vessel walls. These events are dependent upon the synthesis of the vitamin K-dependent proteins Osteocalcin and Matrix Gla Protein in a process called carboxylation. This reaction is essential for optimal and healthy utilization of calcium. MenaQ7 provides Natural Vitamin K2 as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7), which is the most bio available form of K2 available, and also has the longest half-life in the blood. This provides optimal vitamin K status with a recommended daily dose of just 45-90 mcg. And MenaQ7™ is the natural, not synthetic, source of Vitamin K2. (Synthetic K2 is called menatetrenone or Mk-4.)
Research conducted in laboratories, in vivo studies and human clinical research have demonstrated vitamin K2’s superior benefits to vitamin K in helping prevent bone loss, and have clearly shown that only vitamin K2 plays a role in cardiovascular health. (Please see the Natural Vitamin K2 Monograph.) For example, in a study published in The Journal of Nutrition with over 4,000 participants, those with the highest natural vitamin K2 consumption had a 50% reduction in risk of cardiovascular events. This was not found for vitamin K. Natural Vitamin K2 as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the most bioavailable, bioactive and has the longest half-life in the blood of any form of vitamin k. The optimal Natural Vitamin K2 supplement is an extract of the Japanese soy food Natto. Natto is particularly rich in the highly bio-available form of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Plus, studies of Natto consumption in Japan have linked menaquinone-7 to greater bone health and reduction in risk factors. Thus only Mk-7 has been tied to both bone health and cardiovascular health. This provides optimal vitamin K status with a recommended daily dose of just 45-90 mcg. And MenaQ7™ is the natural, not synthetic, source of Vitamin K2. (Synthetic K2 is called menatetrenone or Mk-4.)
