Function
The functions of vitamin K2-MK4 are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Promote bone health
Activation of osteocalcin: Vitamin K2-MK4 activates osteocalcin, a protein secreted by bone cells that helps to deposit calcium efficiently into bone, thereby enhancing bone mineral density and reducing fracture risk.
2. Cardiovascular health
Preventing calcium deposition: Vitamin K2-MK4 helps to prevent calcium deposition in the arterial wall and reduces the risk of arterial stiffness, thereby helping to maintain the health of the cardiovascular system.
3. Regulate calcium metabolism
Vitamin K2-MK4 plays an important role in calcium metabolism, ensuring proper distribution of calcium in the body and avoiding calcium deposition in inappropriate places.
4. Support dental health
Vitamin K2 is also thought to be beneficial for dental health, possibly by promoting calcium deposition in teeth to enhance the strength of teeth.
5. Potential anti-inflammatory effects
Some studies suggest that vitamin K2 may have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce chronic inflammation.
Application
The application of vitamin K2-MK4 is mainly concentrated in the following aspects:
1. Bone health
Supplement: MK-4 is often used as a dietary supplement for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, especially in elderly and postmenopausal women.
Bone mineral density enhancement: Studies have shown that MK-4 can improve bone mineral density and reduce the risk of fracture.
2. Cardiovascular health
Prevention of arterial stiffness: MK-4 helps to prevent calcium deposition in the arterial wall, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Improved vascular function: By promoting the health of vascular endothelial cells, MK-4 may contribute to improved overall cardiovascular function.
3. Healthy teeth
Tooth mineralization: Vitamin K2-MK4 may contribute to the mineralization of teeth and prevent dental caries and other dental problems.
4. Metabolic health
Insulin sensitivity: Several studies have suggested that MK-4 may help to improve insulin sensitivity and thus have potential benefits in diabetes management.
5. Cancer prevention
Anti-tumor effect: Preliminary studies have shown that vitamin K2 may have an inhibitory effect on tumor growth in some types of cancer, such as liver cancer and prostate cancer, but more studies are needed to verify this.
6. Sports nutrition
Athlete supplementation: Some athletes and fitness enthusiasts may supplement MK-4 to support bone health and athletic performance.
7. Formula foods
Functional foods: MK-4 is added to some functional foods and beverages to enhance their nutritional value.
