Poorly Absorbed Calcium Endangers the Heart
Poorly Absorbed Calcium Endangers the Heart
When it comes to heart health, many are unaware that poorly absorbed calcium may increase the risk of heart attacks.
Normal Artery
Blocked Artery
Calcium that is not absorbed efficiently into the bones will begin to build up and harden the arterial wall. This harmful process is known as arterial calcification.
Gradually, these hardened calcium deposits will stiffen the arterial wall and obstruct the arterial blood flow.
When left untreated, the blood flow to the heart will be completely blocked, leading to heart attacks.
How Vitamin-K2
Prevents Heart Attacks
Our body has a natural calcification inhibitor, Matrix Gla Protein (MGP). MGP will bind to calcium, thus preventing calcium deposition on arterial walls and directing calcium to bones instead. Therefore, arterial calcification is inhibited.
As MGP requires Vitamin K2 for activation, sufficient Vitamin K2 is vital to:-
Vitamin-K2
As MGP requires Vitamin K2 for activation, sufficient Vitamin K2 is vital to:-
Reverse hardening of the arteries
Vitamin K2 reverses hardened calcium deposits in arteries by regulating Vitamin K-dependent protein.
Prevent calcification in arteries
Vitamin K2 activates MGP, which inhibits calcium deposition on arterial walls.
Improve vascular blood flow
Vitamin K2 keeps arteries healthy and flexible. Flexibility is crucial for maintaining blood flow and pressure, thereby lowering heart disease risk.
