Description
Optimum Skeletal Support and Calcium Utilization 601918 09.05.08 PC Vitamin K has always been well-known for its essential role in blood clotting and not surprisingly, the name Vitamin K is derived from the German word Koagulation, which is the equivalent of our word coagulation or clotting. Of course, it is important to note that Vitamin K should not be used by those receiving treatment for blood clotting issues. More than essential for blood clotting, Vitamin K plays a number of other vital functions in the body, the most important of which is the discovery of its crucial role in the movement, integration and retention of Calcium in bone. This essential role of Vitamin K in bone health has been confirmed by numerous studies that have shown that healthy levels of Vitamin K are associated with improved support of the skeleton. Unfortunately, like so many of the most important nutrients, Vitamin K is found in the healthiest foods that Americans avoid, such as green leafy vegetables. Making matters worse is the fact that very little Vitamin K can be stored in the body and what little we retain is rapidly utilized requiring constant replenishment through diet or supplementation. When combined with a diet or supplement regime rich in Calcium and Vitamin D, our Vitamin K-500 provides a convenient, inexpensive and effective means of achieving the levels of Vitamin K necessary to support optimum bone and skeletal health.
