Vitamin K (as Menaquinone-7)
Vitamin K Benefits at a Glance:
- Supports healthy brain cell development and function
- Critical for calcium and magnesium utilization (which have a calming effect on the body)
- Supports cognitive function and memory
- Helps regulate mineral distribution in the nervous system
- Essential for proper blood clotting and wound healing
Vitamin K is a group of fat-soluble compounds that play vital roles beyond their most well-known function, blood clotting. They contribute to nervous system function by protecting nerve fibers and maintaining sharp cognitive health as we age.
Vitamin K also directs calcium to where it's needed most in the body while preventing inappropriate calcium deposits in soft tissues. It works in tandem with other nutrients, particularly magnesium, to ensure proper mineral utilization throughout the body.
This careful regulation of calcium and magnesium is essential for proper nerve signaling and muscle function – and may help lower cortisol levels and have a calming effect on the body.
Why It’s Included
For its important role in mineral utilization (especially calcium and magnesium) and nervous system health. Its ability to regulate calcium and magnesium distribution, protect nerve cells, and support healthy brain function makes it a crucial component of any vitamin and mineral complex and/or nervous system support supplement.
