Brief and precise summary of Calcium
Calcium is an essential dietary mineral and a major component of bones and teeth. An adult human body contains more than 1 kg of calcium, most of which provides for structural functions. It is mainly needed for the firmness of bones, but movement would not be possible without it either. Many other biological processes also require calcium, such as the contraction of muscles and blood vessels and the functioning of the nervous system.
Brief and precise summary of Vitamin K
Vitamin K is an essential fat-soluble vitamin. Scientists first discovered its role in blood coagulation, however later they found it to have many other important functions in our body. It is needed to make sure calcium is transported to the bones and teeth instead of being stored in soft tissues where it can cause major problems.
The True Face of Vitamin K (short version)
What if you found out that plain old vitamin K1 was just as good, maybe even better than the expensive K2, but it happens to be the best-kept secret? Are you familiar with Dumas' Iron Mask story, in which one of two twin princes is hidden in an iron mask while the other reigns supreme? Well, the situation with vitamin K is not unlike that: K1's iron mask is that it only regulates blood clotting and is well hidden from view.
Low vitamin K supplies limit the mobility of the elderly
Vitamin K is not only necessary for healthy bones and the vascular system, but it can keep them flexible, subsequently improving mobility. A new study examined the link between the vitamin K provision of the elderly and their mobility.
Head to Head: Vitamin K1 or K2?
The general recommendation is to get about 100 micrograms of Vitamin K1 from our diet, because this is enough to activate blood clotting. The different types of Vitamin K2, mostly MK-4 and MK-7, have been studied for their beneficial effects on osteoporosis and for the prevention of arterial calcification.
Vitamin K protects the body against cardiovascular diseases
More and more research proves that vitamin K is crucial for the health of the cardiovascular system, as it helps prevent the buildup of calcium deposits in veins. To gain this benefit, however, much more vitamin K is necessary than the currently recommended dietary intake.
Vitamin K1 reduces fracture risk
The ECKO trial looked at 440 postmenopausal women, with low bone mineral density. (1) After menopause, women have double the risk of developing osteoporosis, compared to men. Treatments that improve bone quality, and reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis are especially important for them.
