Nutrients and Herbs Improve Cognition,
Memory, and Attention
This new discovery adds to the growing
list of health benefits of Vitamin K.
According to Life Extension Magazine,
“Vitamin K is capable of opposing many of
the leading causes of death in modern-day
Americans—including atherosclerosis,
osteoporosis, diabetes, and cancer —
because it has the unique ability to activate
proteins involved in these conditions. 16
different vitamin K-dependent proteins
have been identified. This means that they
depend on vitamin K to activate them in
order to carry out their intended role.” Both
vitamin K-1 and MK-7 as K-2 would provide
the same cognitive benefits. However, K-2
as MK-7 has the additional benefits of being
bone protective, cardioprotective, and may
play a role in cancer prevention.
If you’re already taking Vitamin K-2 as
MK-7 great, now you’ve got another
incentive to continue. If you’re not, well
now’s a great time to start. Symptoms of
possible vitamin K deficiency are easy
bruisability, nose bleeds, gastrointestinal
bleeding, menorrhagia, and osteoporosis.
Just remember, Vitamin K may be
contraindicated with medications like blood
thinners or if you have a blood clot
disorder, so check with your doctor first.

Vitamin K and Cognition
A
new discovery links vitamin K with the
protective sheaths and membranes
around neurons; the nerves cells that process
and transmit signals in the brain and body.
Earlier studies found vitamin K supports
memory, and cognition can decline when
drugs deplete vitamin K, leading doctors to
test for a link between vitamin K and
cognition in older adults.
In this study, doctors measured vitamin K in
the diets of 192 people, aged at least 65, and
compared cognitive performance between
those who got the least vitamin K to those
who got more. People with higher levels of
vitamin K performed better on tests of
memory, attention, math, and language, and
scored higher on behavioral measures
including self-control, mood, and desire to
engage in everyday activities.
Discussing the findings, doctors said
vitamin K may play a role in preventing
dementia, and that ensuring adequate
vitamin K in the diet may improve cognition
and behavior in older adults.
