Application & Function

Vitamin K2 is an important member of the vitamin K family, mainly including various forms such as MK-4 and MK-7. It is a fat soluble vitamin and a derivative of the naphthoquinone group with the biological activity of chlorophyll, playing an indispensable role in the human body. The specific function are as follows:

1. Promoting coagulation: Vitamin K2 is an essential substance for synthesizing coagulation factors and participates in the coagulation process in the liver, helping to maintain normal blood clotting function.

2. Bone Health: Vitamin K2 can activate calcium binding proteins and regulate bone morphogenetic proteins, thereby promoting the binding of calcium ions and participating in bone formation processes, helping to maintain bone health and strength and prevent osteoporosis.

3. Cardiovascular Health: Vitamin K2 also has a positive impact on cardiovascular health, as it can prevent adverse mineralization processes such as arteriosclerosis, prevent calcium deposition on blood vessel walls, and maintain vascular elasticity.

4. Immune function: Vitamin K2 may also have a regulatory effect on the immune system, reducing the number of activated T cells and decreasing T cell proliferation.

5. Prevention and treatment of diabetes: long-term supplementation of vitamin K2 under the guidance of doctors when necessary can reduce the risk of diabetes, because vitamin K2 can activate osteocalcin, promote the proliferation of beta cells, increase insulin secretion, etc.

6. Vitamin K2 can prevent liver cirrhosis from progressing to liver cancer: Japanese researchers reported in the July 21st issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association that daily supplementation of vitamin K2 in female patients with viral cirrhosis may help prevent the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. This preliminary conclusion still needs to be confirmed by large-scale clinical studies, and further research is needed to determine whether vitamin K2 has the same therapeutic effect on male patients.

7. It has diuretic and liver strengthening detoxification functions, and can lower blood pressure: Natural claims that vitamin K2 has been proven to be beneficial for cardiovascular health in Caucasians because it can assist in regulating the utilization of calcium ions and promoting martxi Gla protein activity, which can inhibit vascular calcification. In a survey of over 4000 participants in Rotterdam, it was found that the group with higher intake of vitamin K had a 50% lower risk of heart disease, 50% lower risk of cardiovascular sclerosis related diseases, and 20% lower overall mortality rate compared to other groups.
