Are Your Children Getting Enough #vitaminK2 ?

A new review published in the journal Children investigates how vitamin K2 status impacts children's health and suggests that they are a group in significant need of the nutrient.

According to the study, Vitamin K2 activates K-dependent proteins that support many biological functions, including bone mineralization, vascular stiffness inhibition, and strong bones and teeth maintenance.

Bone formation and development, in particular, is the most intense during childhood and adolescence, making vitamin K2 an essential vitamin for children.

"Due to the transformation of food habits in developed countries over the last five decades, vitamin K and, specifically, vitamin K2 intakes among parents and their offspring have decreased significantly, resulting in serious health implications.

The therapeutics used in pediatric practice (antibiotics and glucocorticoids) are also to blame for this situation." States Katarzyna Maresz, PhD, one of the study’s authors.

The researchers cite menaquinone-7 (MK7) as safe and effective in children, with a documented history of safety. We recommends 45-50 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK- 7 per day as a beneficial and safe dosage for children.
