Kids and Adults Need Vitamin K
New studies are finding kids need vitamin
K to develop bone, and adults need it to
delay osteoporosis. In this study, doctors
measured vitamin K levels in 896 healthy vol-
unteers and found that children, and adults
over age 40, were most likely to be deficient
in vitamin K.
Researchers then gave vitamin K2 supple-
ments to 42 children and 68 adults who had
low levels. Over a short period of time, both
groups showed signs of reaching normal vita-
min K2 levels. Doctors said vitamin K can
also reduce calcification of the arteries as
well as help develop and maintain healthy
bone.

Better Circulation: Nutrients
Improve Blood Vessel Function
Lycopene
One of the main factors in heart health is
the ability of blood vessels to relax and
dilate. Researchers wanted to test the effects
of lycopene, one of the most powerful
antioxidants that help blood vessels relax.
In the study, 36 healthy people and 36
people with heart disease took 7 mg of
lycopene per day or a placebo, with doctors
requesting they maintain their regular diets.
Before the study, researchers measured blood
vessel dilation and found those in the heart
disease group had 30 percent less flexible
blood vessels compared to the healthy volun-
teers.
After two months, in the heart disease
group, those who had taken lycopene saw
53 percent better blood vessel dilation com-
pared to placebo. Everyone in the heart dis-
ease group was taking statin drugs, suggesting
that along with statin therapy, lycopene may
enhance heart health benefits.

Grape seed extract
Until recently, doctors thought hardening of
the arteries began with cholesterol sticking to
blood vessel walls. But now doctors believe it
is certain immune blood cells that penetrate
and stick to blood vessel walls, creating
lesions that begin a progressive inflammatory
response that is the first step in hardening of
the arteries.
In this study, 13 male smokers took 200 mg
per day of a powerful antioxidant from grape
seeds called procyanidins. After eight weeks,
doctors found that the grape seed extract
activated 864 genes that
helped keep immune
cells from sticking to
blood vessel walls.
Discussing their
findings, doctors
said taking grape seed
procyanidins could
decrease immune cell
penetration of blood
vessel walls and help
protect against harden-
ing of the arteries.
