Vitamin K (a group of related compounds called menaquinones) is found in meat, eggs, and dairy products. It is also produced by bacteria in the human gut, which provides some of the vitamin K we need.
Vitamin K is essential for heart health because it helps move calcium out of the blood. This is done through calcium-regulating proteins in the arteries, which need vitamin K to work.
Studies have shown that it is difficult to rely on diet alone to provide all forms of vitamin K. For example, vitamin K2 is often found in its highest concentrations in foods high in saturated fat. You would need to eat large amounts of cheese to get optimal levels of K2, but this is not always possible. And low-fat versions of these foods often have much less vitamin K2. Therefore, it is advisable to obtain the necessary daily doses through dietary supplements. Life Extension Low Dose Vitamin K2 (MK-7) comes to the rescue.
Studies have shown that vitamin K2 is up to 10 times more bioavailable than vitamin K1. Additionally, vitamin K2 remains biologically active in the body much longer than K1. For example, the liver filters vitamin K1 out of the body within eight hours. However, measurable levels of K2 (MK-7) are found 72 hours later.
A large, well-controlled clinical trial that followed 4,800 participants for seven years revealed that participants who consumed high amounts of vitamin K2 through their diet had better cardiovascular health than those who consumed the least. High vitamin K2 intake also corresponded to lower levels of calcium buildup in the aorta.
Vitamin K2 is required for matrix Gla protein (MGP) and other proteins that regulate calcium in the arteries. MGP needs vitamin K to function properly. Without enough vitamin K2, inactive MGP can build up in the arteries, allowing calcium to bind to the arterial wall.
Other studies confirm the role of K2 in strengthening arterial health - a clinical study in postmenopausal women showed that MK-7 supported a 50% improvement in inactive MGP levels and arterial flexibility.
