Synopsis

Though largely unknown, vitamin K is critical for our health. It is needed for the normal clotting of blood and for the formation and maintenance of healthy bones. Although vitamin K2--also called menaquinone--is naturally produced by some of our intestinal bacteria, only a limited amount of this essential vitamin is stored in our bodies. A lack of this vitamin, which can be caused by a poor diet and the regular use of certain drugs such as antibiotics, is not uncommon. Now, a new supplemental form of vitamin K, specifically vitamin K2--menaquinone-7 (MK-7)--is becoming more widely available to health consumers. It is showing great promise as a natural treatment for heart disease and bone loss. Available in soy products and as a nutritional supplement, MK-7 is clinically proven to be safe and effective. It may also be helpful for lowering cholesterol levels, preventing Alzheimer s disease, and treating some forms of cancer. And MK-7 is a powerful antioxidant without side effects. Health Benefits of Vitamin K2 addresses the nature of heart disease and bone loss and natural therapies for these disorders. Readers will discover everything they need to know about MK-7 and its extraordinary healing benefits. To put this supplement to work, the reader will learn about the dietary sources of vitamin K2, the supplemental forms and suggested dosages of the vitamin, and any potential drug interactions. With so many people following poor-quality diets these days coupled with the overuse of antibiotics, chances are many people can benefit from supplemental MK-7. This book explains how to go about taking advantage of this vitamin s benefits to achieve optimal health.
