What is Vitamin K2?
Vitamin K2 is rare in the Western diet and hasn't received much mainstream attention. However, this powerful nutrient plays an essential role in many aspects of your health. In fact, vitamin K2 may be the missing link between diet and several chronic diseases.
Vitamin K2 is essential for the carboxylation of glutamate residues in certain proteins, to give-carboxyglutamate. This modification allows the protein to bind calcium, an essential event in the blood clotting cascade. Carboxylation of glutamate is also important in other proteins involved in the mobilization or transport of calcium.
Main Function of Vitamin K2:
Protects the heart
While K1 uses carboxylation to clot blood, K2, in particular, prevents calcium build-up in the arteries by modifying the matrix gla-protein (MGP).
Lowers risk of fracture, bone loss, and osteoporosis
K2 can also improve your bone health. Similar to how it modifies MGP in the arteries, K2 also activates osteocalcin, the protein responsible for anchoring calcium to bones.
Promotes dental health
Keeping up your K2 intake could also bode well for your teeth as it can work in multiple ways to prevent tooth decay.
May improve insulin resistance
K2 might have a role to play in preventing and managing type 2 diabetes.
Fights inflammation
The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 is said to prevent inflammation. It is believed to do this by inhibiting pro-inflammatory markers produced by white blood cells called monocytes.
May Protect The Brain
Early-stage research suggests that MK-4 may have a role to play in preventing cognitive decline.
