Subject: Vitamin K2 - A critical Vitamin for optimal health!
Positioning purpose: Vitamin K is best known for its role in normal blood clotting function. Recent research, however, has revealed its beneficial effects on bone and cardiovascular health. In bone tissue, Vitamin K is critical for the formation of healthy bone matrix, and bone quality is dependent on the presence of adequate Vitamin K. Vitamin K's role in arterial health revolves around its ability to support proper calcium metabolism in vascular structures.*
