NSI Vitamin K2 (MK-7) from Natto Extract -- 100 micrograms - 90 Softgels

Powerful formula that promotes healthy bone and cardiovascular function. How Does NSI® Vitamin K2 (MK-7) work? Vitamin K refers to a family of fat-soluble compounds known as quinones. Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is the natural form, found in green leafy vegetable such as spinach, kale and broccoli, as well as in green peas, carrots, soy beans, eggs, liver and dairy products. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is produced by bacteria in both animal and human intestines. Vitamin K helps maintain healthy bones. It’s necessary for osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) to activate osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to bones. It may also inhibit the production of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone. In addition, vitamin K promotes cardiovascular wellness by supporting healthy blood vessels. Vitamin K functions as an antioxidant, working to protect healthy cells from damage caused by free radicals, unstable molecules that destroy cell membranes and DNA, and may lead to health concerns and premature aging. This supplement delivers 100 mcg of vitamin K2 as Menaquinone-7 per each convenient single-softgel serving. It also contains 78 mg of natto extract and 320 FU (fibrin units) of nattokinase, both of which are derived from fermented Japanese soy to support healthy blood circulation and blood pressure levels already within normal range. NSI® Vitamin K2 (MK-7) is better because it:. • Supports both bone and cardiovascular health in one easy-to-take supplement. • Provides exceptional quality at extraordinary value

"Vitamin K - especially the MK-7 form of vitamin K2 - is one of the biggest advances in human health in the last 10 years.

I have read detailed scientific information from the world's leading vitamin K experts.

Vitamin K2 has been proven in human studies to both help get calcium into the bones (and stay there) AND help keep calcium out of the arteries and heart valves (i.e. aorta).

Vitamin K2 is NOT found in vegetables (that would be vitamin K1).

People in cultures, such as Japan, that consume foods rich in vitamin K2 (as MK-7) have far LOWER rates of both osteoporosis AND arterial calcification.

Additionally, vitamin K2 (MK-7) stays in the blood for as long as 72 hous (3 days) after consumption. Other forms of vitamin K stay in the blood for only a few hours.

This makes MK-7 the ideal choice for providing long-term health benefits.

If you are concerned about bone and / or artery health, you should seriously consider trying this very safe and effective form of vitamin K.
