Vitamin K2 - action, sources of occurrence, deficiency symptoms
Vitamin K2, like all compounds hidden under the name "vitamin K", is involved in the blood clotting process. For many years, she was assigned only this role. However, research shows that vitamin K2 is also responsible for healthy bones, prevents vascular calcification and the development of cardiovascular diseases. What else does vitamin K2 have? What are the sources of its occurrence? What are the symptoms of a deficiency?
Vitamin K2 is not a substance in its own right, but a group of compounds known collectively as menaquinones or the abbreviation "MK-n", where n indicates the number of unsaturated isoprenoid residues on the C3 carbon (from 1 to 13).
Vitamin K2 is one of the three main compounds known as "vitamin K". The others are vitamin K1 (phytomenadione) and K3 (menadione). Vitamins K participate in the synthesis of protein clotting factors and for many years they were assigned this role only. However, research has shown that different types of vitamin K also have different functions. Vitamin K2, in addition to participating in the blood clotting process, is also responsible for healthy bones, prevents calcification of atherosclerotic plaques and the development of cardiovascular diseases, and even the growth of neoplastic cells.Vitamin K2 - properties
Vitamin K2 can prevent osteoporosis
Until recently, it was considered healthy bones and teeth only one vitamin corresponds - vitamin D. Currently, it is believed that the role of vitamin K2 is equivalent to that of vitamin D in maintaining the proper condition of the skeleton. The functioning of osteocalcin - a protein synthesized in cells responsible for bone formation (osteoblasts) depends on vitamin K2.
The task of osteocalcin is to bind calcium in bones - a mineral that is their basic building material. With a deficiency of vitamin K2, osteoclacin is inactive and thus unable to bind calcium in the bones, which can reduce bone mass and lead to osteoporosis, and hence - to an increased risk fractures.
The relationship between healthy bones and vitamin K2 has been shown in many scientific studies. For example, researchers from the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands have shown that vitamin K2 is essential for maintaining adequate bone strength in women after menopause and is a factor in improving bone mineral content and the width of the femoral neck¹.
Vitamin K2 can prevent cardiovascular disease
Loss of elasticity of blood vessels due to the accumulation of calcium-phosphate salts in them is one of the causes of the development of cardiovascular diseases. A solution to this problem may be vitamin K2, which some scientists believe may be used in the future to treat or prevent vascular calcification , especially in patients at high risk of vitamin K deficiency or calcification².
How does vitamin K2 prevent blood vessel calcification? IN serum in the blood there is a protein called MGP that binds the calcium phosphate salts and therefore prevents them from settling in the vessels. Its functioning depends on vitamin K2 - in its deficiency, the MGP protein is inactive and cannot inhibit the calcification process.
People taking anticoagulants before supplementing with vitamin K2 should consult a doctor, because vitamin K2 interferes with the action of these drugs.
Good to know
Vitamin K2 and D3 enhance their action
Vitamin K2 and D3 act synergistically, i.e. they enhance each other's action. Therefore, simultaneous supplementation of these vitamins is recommended.
Vitamin K2 - anti-cancer properties
The first pilot clinical trials conducted in Japan indicate that the use of vitamin K2 in addition to standard therapy in the case of liver cancer, significantly increases the survival rate of patients in relation to the control system¹.
Vitamin K2 - symptoms of deficiency and excess
Lack of vitamin K2 can lead to onset bleeding (e.g. from the gums), problems with healing wounds, difficulties in bone mineralization (which is manifested by breaking them). In addition, a deficiency of vitamin K2 can lead to calcification of the arteries and, consequently, to hypertension, congestion and heart attacks.
No adverse effects were observed at doses up to 45 mg per day or even higher.
Vitamin K2 - sources of occurrence. Where to find vitamin K2?
Vitamin K2 is produced mainly by the jejunum and ileum microorganisms of humans and animals (the MK-4 form of vitamin K2).
Vitamin K2 is also found (albeit in small amounts) in animal products such as meat, eggs and dairy products, especially in products obtained by the process of bacterial fermentation. The most important source of menaquinone in Europe is therefore cheeses: Dutch, German, Swiss, and in Asian culture - natto (a product of fermentation soybean, in which bacteria are involved Bacillus subtilis natto ) and miso (MK-7 form of vitamin K2).
Its source is also other forms of vitamin K, which are converted into vitamin K2 in the body.
Natural vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 deserves special attention in terms of supplementation. It is characterized by good absorbability.
Vitamin K2 - dosage. How to use vitamin K2?
The daily intake for vitamin K2 alone has not been established. Such recommendations apply to all compounds that are hidden under the name "vitamin K".
