Is Vitamin K2 Deficiency the Missing Key for Today’s Global Health Issues?

  • Wednesday, September 16, 2020

Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, are two conditions plaguing the global population, yet they are not normal by-products of aging. Rather, these conditions are an indication of a Vitamin K2 deficiency.

Put simply, Vitamin K2 activates proteins that support healthy calcium balance – directing calcium to the bones where it is needed, while inhibiting calcium from depositing in arteries and soft tissues where it can do harm. Yet recent research shows us that 97% of western populations are deficient in adequate Vitamin K2 for bone and cardiovascular health.

With strong observational studies as its foundation, one company has spearheaded efforts that have resulted in a substantial body of clinical evidence demonstrating that adding Vitamin K2 to the diet absolutely leads to positive health outcomes, in adults as well as children. And now the medical community is driving the latest Vitamin K2 research — because Vitamin K2 is the only compound to date clinically shown to impact hardening of the arteries, doctors are exploring Vitamin K2 as a potential therapy for patients who express intense calcification as part of their condition(s).

This informative webinar will offer:

  • Evidence confirming the state of K2 deficiency and the populations that can benefit from having this insufficiency corrected
  • How decades of Vitamin K2 clinical research have proven safe and efficacious long-term health benefits
  • Insight on new research that is elucidating potential benefits beyond bone and cardiovascular health
  • The necessary factors companies need to consider when selecting a Vitamin K2 raw material for their formulation(s)

Join this webinar to learn about how a vitamin can change the state of global health. By registering for this webinar, participants will get up-to-speed about the latest research on Vitamin K2, its benefits, insights about selection criteria for raw materials and more.
