Have you stopped to consider the health of your bones lately? Many of us take our bones for granted. They are there every day supporting our body and helping us move, but are you doing enough to support your bones in return?
We all know the importance of calcium and vitamin D for healthy and strong bones, but recent research has shown there is another vitamin that plays a critical role in bone health, vitamin K2.
What is vitamin K2?
Your body uses a vitamin K dependent protein called osteocalcin to build strong bones by binding calcium into the bone matrix. Without vitamin K, this protein cannot become biologically activated or function properly to build and maintain healthy, strong bones.
Vitamin K2 also helps with the transport of calcium throughout the body. It helps to direct calcium into the bones and teeth where it is needed for their health.
Did you know? You can obtain vitamin K2 from your diet. Grass-fed butter and meat, cheese, egg yolks and fermented foods like Natto contain vitamin K2, however in small amounts.
What about vitamin K1?
Until recently, the only form of vitamin K available in Australia was vitamin K1, also known as Phytomenadione. Now, there is a new form of vitamin K available that is more effectively absorbed and retained longer in the body. This form is known as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) or vitamin K2, which we use in our vitamin K2 supplement.
Australian NaturalCare’s Vitamin K2 180mcg is a high-strength, convenient one-a-day formula utilising the patented MenaQ7 vitamin K2. MenaQ7 is a breakthrough in vitamin K2 research and development, having higher bio-availability (absorbability in the body) making it an ideal choice for raising vitamin K levels in the body.
