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.
