Super K

Life Extension Super K 90 Softgels

Vitamin K plays a crucial role in maintaining your body’s calcium balance, significantly influencing arterial health and bone density. Unfortunately, achieving adequate Vitamin K intake from dietary sources can be challenging. If you're focusing on bone or arterial health, supplementing with Vitamin K is a smart choice.

Key Benefits:

• Promotes bone health by aiding the transfer of calcium to your bones
• Supports vascular health, ensuring a balanced calcium presence in arteries
• Contains multiple forms of Vitamin K typically found in green vegetables, dairy, and meats

Additional Information on Super K:

Super K features three distinct forms of Vitamin K: K1 and two K2 variants—menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Daily use of Super K ensures you receive this essential nutrient for both bone and vascular health.

With regard to bone and arterial health, Vitamin K is vital for maintaining bone density through the facilitation of calcium transport. It also contributes to the normal function of matrix Gla-protein (MGP), which helps manage how calcium interacts with arterial walls, promoting a healthy calcium balance throughout the body.

Evidence from the Rotterdam Heart Study, which involved tracking 4,800 subjects over seven years, indicates that higher dietary K2 intake is associated with healthier cardiovascular outcomes.

Moreover, clinical studies further emphasize the importance of Vitamin K for sustaining arterial health, making supplementation fundamental for those seeking enhanced bone strength and density.

About Vitamin K Forms:

Vitamin K1 is primarily sourced from leafy greens but can be poorly absorbed. In contrast, Vitamin K2, which is present in certain cheeses, egg yolks, and meats, has been shown to be more bioavailable—up to six times more effective than K1—and remains active in the body longer.

The MK-4 version of K2 is quickly absorbed, although it doesn't stay in the bloodstream as long. MK-7, however, offers sustained levels in the body for up to 48 hours, derived from a unique bio-fermentation process, ensuring your body benefits optimally.
