Pure Lab Vitamin K2-MK7 90 Capsules
Vitamin K-2 (menaquinone) is one of several forms of the essential nutrient that is vitamin K. While vitamin K-1 (phylloquinone) is best known for its role in blood coagulation, K-2 plays an essential role in the development and maintenance of the human skeleton by activating two key bone proteins: osteocalcin and matrix GIa protein (MGP). Although it supports calcium deposition into the bone mineral matrix, vitamin K-2 also appears to keep calcium from depositing in soft tissues. For this reason, it may have a protective role against atherosclerosis in the maintenance of arterial flexibility. In essence, K-2 MK-7 ensures that calcium is sent to where it should be--not to where it doesn’t belong.
