Vitamin K has been
approved for the treatment of osteoporosis in Japan since 1995. The
vitamin has shown promise in other areas. Super K is a low-cost dietary
supplement that contains a natural form of vitamin K1 and K2.
Health benefits
associated with vitamin K:
Vitamin K prevents
calcification of arteries and other soft tissue. Calcification of
organs and other soft tissue is an adverse consequence of aging. The
vascular system can suffer such damage that valve replacement and
coronary artery bypass procedures may become necessary.
Vitamin K prevents
elevations in IL-6. Rising levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) are an indication
of aging. A chemical messenger for the immune system, IL-6 promotes
inflammation. With aging this cytokine takes over and causes unwarranted
inflammation throughout the body, including joints and brain. Alzheimer's
patients have highly elevated levels of IL-6 in their brains.
Vitamin K regulates
the body's calcium and promotes bone calcification. Abnormal calcium
accumulation can damage the brain. In fact, changes seen in Alzheimer’s
disease reflect disturbances in calcium metabolism. The pineal gland
and the kidneys are especially vulnerable to excess calcium infiltration,
while the skeleton suffers from a lack of calcium.
Vitamin K may
play a role in the regulation of blood sugar. The pancreas, which
makes insulin, has the second highest amount of vitamin K in the body.
In the first study of its kind, Japanese researchers found that vitamin
K deficiency can have effects similar to diabetes.
The new Super
K provides 9 mg of vitamin K1 along with 1 mg of K2 n each highly
absorbable oil-based softgel. Even though vitamin K1 usually converts
to K2 in the body, we added K2 to guarantee that users obtain the
most effective form of this life-saving vitamin. While the RDA for
vitamin K is only 65-80 micrograms, published studies indicate that
higher doses protect against osteoporosis and pathological calcification.
