1-3Īrterial calcification is considered an unfortunate result of aging, but fortunately, we can actively regulate this process by providing our body with adequate amounts of vitamin K2. Health-conscious consumers seek to meet the optimal intake of vitamin K2 to avoid calcium plaque buildup of atherosclerosis, thus keeping the risk and rate of calcification as low as possible. This is mainly due to K2’s long half-life and extrahepatic activity, compared to a shorter half-life of the dietary form vitamin K1 (phylloquinone). The discovery of the role of vitamin K-dependent proteins in processes beyond coagulation and identification of various isoforms of vitamin K in the recent decades has specifically highlighted vitamin K2 (menaquinone) as a crucial cardiovascular health nutrient.
