vitamin k
Vitamin K activates proteins that play a role in blood clotting, calcium metabolism, and heart health.
One of its most important functions is to regulate calcium deposition.
In other words, it promotes bone calcification and prevents calcification of blood vessels and kidneys.
Vitamin K has been shown to provide protection against cavities and chronic disease.
In a study published in the National Library of Health, vitamins K1 and K2 were analyzed as essential vitamins required for human health.
The main message of the study was that vitamin K may be a useful adjunct for the treatment of osteoporosis.
It can also significantly reduce morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular health by reducing vascular calcification.
Vitamin K2 shows promise in the areas of diabetes, cancer, and osteoarthritis.
Other important vitamins recommended by experts for women over 40 include:
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D
- B12 vitamin
- Calcium
- Omega-3 fish oils.
