A Little-Known Nutrient Can Make a Big Difference to Bone Health

Essential Nutrition Vitamin K2 uses MenaQ7® by NattoPharma – the only company offering ongoing clinical trials.

For decades calcium has been the go-to dietary supplement for improving bone health. However, several studies show that supplementing with calcium exclusively is not enough. The body needs to optimise the use of calcium, making sure it is directed to and utilised by the bones.

Osteoblasts produce a vitamin K2-dependent protein called osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium in the bone matrix, leading to increased bone mineral content. Vitamin K is necessary for the synthesis of osteocalcin, a unique protein in bone, which attracts calcium to bone tissue.
