1 Vitamin Stops Calcium Buildup in Arteries and Heart

by

Supplementing Vitamin K2:

If you choose to supplement, vitamin K2 comes in two forms:

    • MK4: Fast-acting, but quickly eliminated from the body

  • MK7: Longer-lasting and only needs to be taken once daily

MK7 is often recommended for its better bioavailability. It can also be paired with vitamin D3 (the more effective form of vitamin D) for enhanced results, though getting these nutrients from food is still the best option whenever possible.

Summary:

  • Vitamin K2 helps prevent calcium buildup in arteries and supports heart and bone health.

  • It’s found in fermented foods, animal products, and specific cheeses.

  • Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and works synergistically with K2.

  • While MK4 and MK7 supplements are available, getting these nutrients through whole foods is most beneficial.
