Low Dose Vitamin K2 – Life Extension – Arterial Health †
What is Life Extension Low Dose Vitamin K2?
Vitamin K is essential for heart health because it helps facilitate the transport of calcium out of the bloodstream. † This is done via calcium-regulating proteins in the arteries, which require vitamin K to work.
Low-Dose Vitamin K2 contains the menaquinone-7 (MK7) form of vitamin K2, which metabolizes slowly. † This makes MK7 more available to provide a more consistent supply of vitamin K to the body.
Vitamin K is required by matrix Gla-protein (MGP) and other calcium-regulating proteins in your arteries. MGP needs vitamin K to function properly. † Without sufficient vitamin K, inactive MGP can build up in your arteries, allowing calcium to bind to the arterial wall. †
Why choose Life Extension Low Dose Vitamin K2?
Studies show that Life Extension Low Dose Vitamin K2 can correspond with the transport of calcium in the bloodstream, which promotes arterial health. †
Studies show it’s difficult to rely on diet alone to supply all forms of vitamin K. For instance, vitamin K2 in its highest concentrations are often found in foods high in saturated fat. You would have to consume large amounts of cheese to get the optimal K2 levels that are supported by human clinical trials. And low-fat versions of these foods often have much less vitamin K2 content.

Lydia: Pair up with vitamin D
In my recent visit to my physician, my blood test showed that I was very low on Vitamin D, so my doctor recommended a supplemental high-dose of vitamin D to improve my levels. He stated that vitamin D and K2 work great together and suggested that I begin taking K2 along with it. So far, this routine has worked great and my vitamin D levels and calcium levels have improved. Pair these two together!
Tim: Easy to swallow and great results!
When taking this product, I make sure I have a nice meal before taking it. My arterial health was on the decline, so I was recommended this by my cardiologist. I have had no build ups in my arteries, and my calcium levels are great thanks to this product.
