Article: Proper Calcium Use: Vitamin K2 as a Promoter of Bone and Cardiovascular Health

Background

Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in our body. It is also one of the few which receives a lot of mainstream attention. In the past, and in some cases to this day, the way calcium is promoted is less than ideal.

Whether the campaign strategy is targeting school-age children, or post-menopausal women, the information and strategies provided are suboptimal.

I would bet that when people think of taking supplemental calcium for health concerns, they may also remember that you have been advised to take vitamin D for optimal absorption of the calcium. If it cannot get into your bloodstream, it cannot help you.

But, I bet you didn’t know about the vital importance of vitamin K2.

Especially important if you take statins to control cholesterol.
