In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 180 mcg of MK-7 or placebo were given to 244 healthy post-menopausal women over the course of 3 years. After at least 2 years, statistically significant benefits were seen in vertebrae, hip, and femoral neck.[5] Another ground-breaking randomized, placebo-controlled trial which gave 244 women, aged 55-65 180 mcg of vitamin K2 or placebo found that those given the K2 were significantly better able to maintain their osteoclast to osteoblast ratio. Furthermore, levels of circulating osteocalcin, a marker related to tissue calcification in the body, were reduced by 50% among women taking K2 versus a 4% increase among the placebo group after 2 and 3 years.[14] Cardiovascular Health and Blood Sugar Balance† Vitamin K also plays a key role in supporting the cardiovascular system as well as healthy blood sugar balance. In a large population study, those who consumed high amounts of K2 had significantly improved cardiovascular markers compared to those given vitamin K1.[15] A cohort of over 16,000 women also linked higher intake of K2 with better maintenance of cardiovascular health.[16] Studies have also shown vitamin K to support healthy blood sugar metabolism.[17,18] Doses of 180 mcg of K2 have been shown to have a positive effect on arterial and vascular elasticity. Additionally, 180 mcg of K2 given over 2-3 years has been shown to help maintain soft tissue health and vascular elasticity in healthy adult subjects.[19]The same amount of MK-7 was also found to impart substantial benefits in arterial plasticity and blood vessel elasticity in healthy women, something previously seen only with “pharmacological doses” of synthetic vitamin K of up to 4500 mcg daily.[5] Immune Modulation† New evidence suggests vitamin K plays a central role in balancing immune health. Recent studies have shown that both vitamins D and K impart immune-modulating effects. In the Framingham Offspring Study, one of the longest standing studies on generational health, higher serum levels of vitamins D and K were associated with stronger immune function and a balanced inflammatory response.[20,21] Directions 1 capsule per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
