Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, because it has a role in building calcium into the bone structure.
K2-Vitum forte contains vitamin K2 – menaquinone-7 (MK-7). It is of crucial importance, as this very chemical form of vitamin K has a role in bone metabolism. Human body is not able to synthesize vitamin K2 by itself, therefore a demand for this vitamin is covered mainly by diet and (less so) through synthesis by gut bacteria.
Product contains flaxseed oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids, one of which is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Alpha-linolenic acid contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 2 g of ALA.
Bone tissue is a dynamic structure which is constantly being rebuilt. Some bone cells (osteoclasts) break down bone tissue releasing calcium, while others (osteoblasts) synthesize new bone tissue through building calcium (inter alia) into the bone structure. Keeping those two processes balanced is very important as bone breakdown intensifies with ageing. Ensuring bone metabolism balance is possible by ingesting relevant nutrients with diet.
