So
far, Vitamin K has been described in the medical
literature, above all as essential in the process of blood coagulation,
and its
other functions are quite unknown. However, it turns out that
insufficient
levels of vitamin K leads to reduced bone mineral density, the main
risk factor
for osteoporosis and excess calcium in the arterial wall, which
increases the
risk of heart disease. Although calcium is essential for maintaining
health, it
is the abnormal metabolism may lead to disorders such as osteoporosis
and
cardiovascular disease. It turns out that a key regulator of this
element in
the body is the vitamin K, and particularly its form K2. Vitamin K1
(phylloquinone) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone) are the two main forms of
vitamin
K found in the diet. Vitamin K2 according to the latest research,
however, is
much better absorbed by the body than vitamin K1. Vitamin K2 is
initially
transported to the liver, and bone and the walls of arteries, where it
can
better accumulate due to its better bioavailability and a longer
half-life,
thus playing an important role in establishing and maintaining strong
bones, as
well as inhibiting calcium deposits in the arteries.
