associated with the inhibition of arterial calcification and arterial stiffening , which means that increased vitamin K2 intake could be a means of lowering calcium-associated health risks . However , since 1950 , the consumption of vitamin K has decreased gradually , and the rate of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis has steadily increased . Even a well-balanced diet might not provide vitamin K in amounts sufficient for satisfying the body ’ s needs . Further , due to modern manufacturing processes , the vitamin K content , particularly the vitamin K2 content of the food supply today has significantly dropped , making vitamin K2 supplements a more reliable way to secure adequate intake . By striking the right balance in intake of calcium and K2 , it may be possible to fight osteoporosis and simultaneously prevent the calcification and stiffening of the arteries . A new clinical study with vitamin K2 supplementation showed an improvement in arterial elasticity and regression in age-related arterial stiffening ( data pending publication ). Most important through its activation of K – dependent proteins , Vitamin K2 can optimize calcium use in the body , preventing any potential negative health impacts associated with increased calcium intake .
Now please remember , calcium is very important especially for older adults children and postmenopausal women , but we need to render effective calcium intake and for certain not over consume dairy , we really avoid that crap all together in this nutritionist ’ s opinion . ( unless it ’ s rare and a fun cheat meal ). We need to have the right amount of Vitamin K daily , this promotes arterial flexibility by preventing accumulation of arterial calcium , and supplementation with it could correct calcium amounts in the body that are out of balance . Thus , calcium in tandem with vitamin K2 may well be the solution for bringing necessary bone benefits while circumventing an increased risk for
