Today there is an increasing interest in research and in understanding the physiological ageing process. Both new and previously known ingredients’ abilities to influence the ageing process are being studied. As we age most people get stiffer blood vessels, either because of a loss of elasticity or calcification of the arteries. Several international studies show that vitamin K2 can inhibit development of arterial stiffness. Vitamin K2 can delay the development of age-related osteoporosis. This is good news for people who are concerned with health and who want to exercise preventative selfcare - which can lead to a prolonged life of higher quality.
Vitamin K2 through food
Vitamin K2 is hard to find in the western diet because the vitamin is made by the “good” bacterias used in fermentation in certain foods. Before the fridge was invented fermented foods used to be a practical way of storing food and preventing it from going bad, and at the same time it brought great health benefits. Today such foods are unfortunately too scarce in the western diet.
The effect of vitamin K2
In the past decade new research shows that vitamin K2 is an important contributor to the development of bone substance when you are young and growing. It can help build strong and healthy bones to last a lifetime, and reduce the risk of them becoming osteoporotic. Regular intake of vitamin K2 helps to keep the blood vessels flexible and to maintain good circulation/cardiovascular health.
Recommended daily intake
Clinical studies show that our bodies need a daily intake of at least 180 micrograms to achieve maximal beneficial effect. EQ K2+D3 contains 200 hg vitamin K2 with added 40 hg of vitamin D3.
EQ Vitamin K2 test
With the help of a simple self-administered device you will quickly get an answer to your serum-concentration level of vitamin K2 (MK7) in your bloodstream. The blood sample on the filter paper is extracted and analysed according to international standards for omega fatty acid testing by Vitas Labaratory in Oslo, Norway.
