Why Vitamin K2 is essential?

Vitamin K2 promotes osteocalcin which attracts calcium in bones and teeth and also activates another protein called MPG (Matrix GLA Protein) which mobilizes calcium from soft tissues and arteries, places where this important mineral can result harmful.
Petanto Vitamin K2 is the best form of prevention aimed at reversing the calcification of tissues and blood vessels following atherosclerosis.
Therefore, vitamin K2 acts in synergy with other fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D and A.
It seems that most people suffer from a deficiency of this vitamin and therefore this affects the deficient activation of the aforementioned proteins (osteocalcin and MGP) which protect bones, heart vessels and teeth.
Vitamin K2 is produced physiologically by our intestinal bacteria starting from the vitamin K1 contained and supplied to the body by green leafy vegetables.
Unfortunately, intestinal dysbiosis, frequently present, alters its production, making it insufficient.
When there is a deficit in the introduction of vitamin K1 through an incongruous diet, it can also affect the synthesis of vitamin K2.

Content in vitamin K1 (philloquinone):
- Green leafy vegetables
- Kiwi
- Vegetable oils

Content in Vitamin K2 (menaquinone):
- Natto (fermented soy beans)
- Goat liver
- Some cheeses
- Egg yolk, butter and lard of grass-fed animals.

The skeletal system is a dynamic tissue represented by the balance of 2 types of cells, the osteoblasts, which are responsible for the construction of the bone and the osteoclasts, which favor bone rehash.
Therefore, calcium is not sufficient to guarantee good bone health.
Vitamin D provides for its absorption in the blood from food while vitamin K2 provides for the absorption of calcium in the bones.
Excess calcium, if not used, tends to deposit in the soft tissues, including the arteries, where it contributes to forming atherosclerotic plaque and vitamin K2 removes it from the soft tissues to convey it to the bones.
For this reason this vitamin is very important especially in those who have a lack of physical activity and in those who take high doses of vitamin D for therapeutic purposes with absorption of large amounts of calcium and subsequent correct mobilization of the same.
