Both vitamin D and vitamin K are necessary for optimal bone health. Vitamin K is an essential cofactor involved in bone metabolism, blood coagulation, prevention of vessel remineralization, and regulation of several cellular functions. Vitamin K2 (also called MK7®) may increase osteocalcin levels which can help reduce spine fracture risk. Furthermore, according to a 2017 study, “Treating osteoporotic patients with vitamin K might have the additional advantage of protecting arteries from vascular calcification through its action on MGP, a vitamin K dependent protein with anticalcific properties.” (Fusaro, 2017). Aside from skeletal health, this fat soluble vitamin is important for blood clotting and cardiovascular health.* Dietary sources of vitamin K1 include leafy green vegetables, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, spinach, etc. Dietary sources of K2 include eggs from free-range chickens, grass-fed meat and dairy.
