About Metagenics Vitamin K2 180 60c
Vitamin K encompasses phylloquinone, vitamin K1, and the menaquinones (including bioavailable MK-7), known as vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 may provide protection against anticoagulant-coumarin-induced side effects and diet-induced fluctuations in international normalised ratio (INR) values. Vitamin K is a key cofactor for carboxylation reactions in vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs) involved in blood coagulation (clotting), bone metabolism, vessel health and regulation of various cellular functions. Vitamin K2 activated the VKDP; Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), a protein found in bone, blood vessels, lungs, heart and kidney, which prevents calcification in the bone, cartilage, vessel walls, skin elastic fibers, and even the human eye. Vitamin K2 regulates bone remodelling, conferring a protective action against bone loss, supporting bone density, mass and integrity, while also directing calcium from arteries back into bone, which is especially important for higher risk groups such as postmenopausal women.
