beneficial to the heart and circulatory system.

We have discussed the role of vitamin K2 in
cardiovascular health elsewhere in this
publication.
I
n addition to this, other common medical
uses for vitamin K2, specifically, are the
following: treatment of osteoporosis and
steroid or disease-induced bone loss, to
reduce symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, and
to lower total cholesterol in dialysis patients.
But that's not all. Vitamin K2 has been
shown to enhance athletic performance as
well.
Cells that produce energy have specialized
units-mitochondria-that contain the smallest
energy units, called adenosine triphosphate
(ATP). Muscles, particularly heart muscle,
contain high numbers of mitochondria to
have enough energy to move the body.
Vitamin K2 plays a key role in producing ATP.
In this recent study, 26 male and female
athletes took a placebo or 325 mcg of vitamin
K2 per day for four weeks, then 160 mcg of
vitamin K2 per day for four more weeks.
Taking a standard cycle ergometer test, the
vitamin K2 group saw a 12 percent increase
in the maximum amount of blood the heart
could pump by the end of the study. Vitamin
K2 appeared to reduce by several months the
amount of continuous training it would take
to increase heart pumping capacity without
vitamin K2.

Medicine; 2017, Vol. 23, No. 4, 26-32)
Vitamin K2 Enhances Athletic
Performance
Vitamin K2 can be found in various
types of nutritional supplements. Your
multivitamin should contain vitamin K2.
Willvite
, from
Willner Chemist
(#30439, #44384) contains 60 mcg as
MK7, or 75% of the Daily Value in a full
4 tablet dose. Bone Support
supplements such as
Jarrow Formulas
Bone Up
will typically contain vitamin
K2 among other bone support nutrients.
Several companies also combine
vitamin K2 with vitamin D. And, of
course, there are numerous products
that contain vitamin K2 or MK7 alone,
as a stand-alone supplement.
Please talk to one of the
pharmacists or nutritionists at
Willner Chemists for assistance in
selecting the most appropriate
vitamin K2 supplement for your
specific needs.
