12 Calcium Too much calcium leads to blockages & hardening - constricting blood flow & oxygen delivery Bones need calcium for growth - providing framework for muscles & protection

13 Calcium alone is insufficient for bone building Vitamin D3 absorbs calcium into the blood stream Vitamin K2 activates the proteins that binds calcium into bone

14 Change in bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) during the 3-year-intervention

15 Activated MGP reduces arterial calcification Vitamin K2 deficiency may lead to calcium depositions in vessels.

16 MK-7 reduces the level of inactive MGP (ucmgp) over three years (Knapen et al., 2015) Changes in arterial stiffness index by MK-7 over a 3-year intake (Knapen et al., 2015)

17 VITAMIN K2 MK-7 SUPPORTS STRONG BONES FOR ALL CONSUMER SEGMENTS High dose K needed for growing bones Adjust high dose K to reduce bone loss

18 8 weeks of supplementation of MK-7 gave a 12% significant increase in maximal cardiac output. McFarlin, B.K., A.L. Henning, and A.S. Venable, Oral Consumption of Vitamin K2 for 8 Weeks Associated With Increased Maximal Cardiac Output During Exercise. Altern Ther Health Med, 2017.
