While other nutrients are important for maintaining and promoting your bone health (like vitamin D3, calcium, and magnesium), evidence continues to grow that vitamin K plays a role in bone metabolism and healthy bone growth. In fact, it may be the modern day “missing link” to increasing your bone density. Vitamin K has been linked to osteoblasts, the cells that generate or lay down bone and produce a specific protein known as osteocalcin. Basically, osteocalcin acts as the structural framework holding calcium in place in your bones. And vitamin K is critical for producing osteocalcin protein. Why is this so important? Because osteocalcin cannot perform its job until vitamin K converts it to an active bone-building form. The bottom line – vitamin K is the "key" that unlocks the door from your bloodstream to let calcium flow into your bones and bone marrow. Without this vitamin K key action, you simply wouldn't have the strong bones you do. When you're missing vitamin K2, your bone strength plummets, leaving you with a high risk of fractures, bone loss and osteoporosis. Just look at these studies: A landmark study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research discovered that people with the highest levels of "inactive" osteocalcin have a 500% higher risk of bone fracture. In a seven-year study, researchers found that elderly men and women with the highest intake of vitamin K2 had a 65% lower risk of hip fracture than those with the lowest intake. A two-year Japanese study found vitamin K2 lowered spine fractures by 52% in people with osteoporosis. It's clear vitamin K2 plays a central role in bone health. Researchers have also found that vitamin K2: Boosted coronary artery health by 57%. Lowered the risk of severe calcium buildup in your arteries by 52%. Lowered all-cause mortality by 26%.

Does the Job.
Yes! This is Good. I use it in conjunction with Vitamin D3. They are made for each other, though it can be taken on it own for specific reason(s). No complaints.
