In recent years, we have found more and more scientific evidence about the benefits of vitamin D. Its benefits are extraordinary, to the point of making it the most important vitamin of the decade. However, evidence is now emerging that another vitamin has been gaining traction in research as the missing nutrient in the fight against everything from osteoporosis to heart disease. This all-important nutrient is vitamin K2 , which has been considered an important enhancer of vitamin D when used in combination.

Much of the research has focused on the interaction between vitamin K2 and vitamin D3, particularly in terms of strengthening bones and cardiovascular health . According to Dr. Cees Vermeer, one of the leading researchers in vitamin K, almost all people are deficient in this vitamin, as well as in vitamin D.

It is no longer news that vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption, promoting significant improvements in bones. However, new evidence indicates that It is vitamin K2 that directs calcium to be absorbed by the skeleton , preventing this calcium from being deposited in inappropriate places, such as in the joints (arthrosis), in the arteries (atherosclerosis) and in the organs (gallstones, kidney stones, cataracts, etc.).

Vitamin K2 activates a protein called osteocalcin, produced by osteoblasts, which in turn is necessary for the assimilation of calcium into the bone matrix. Osteocalcin also prevents calcium from being deposited in the arteries. The importance of vitamin K2 for our body is clear, because without it, the action of vitamin D could cause calcium to be deposited in the arteries instead of penetrating the bones.
