Menaquinone-4 aids heart recovery
Potential Cardioprotective Role of Menaquinone-4 Against Cardiac Ischemia-reperfusion Injury.
Strong focus on cardiac health
We examined how Menaquinone-4, a form of vitamin K2, could help protect the heart during a critical event known as ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, which often occurs after heart attacks. In our study, we used thirty-two rats, dividing them into three groups: a control group that experienced I/R without treatment, a group that received MK-4 before the injury, and another group that got MK-4 at the beginning of the recovery phase.

By using a specialized apparatus to assess heart function, we measured various indicators of heart health, including the pressure the heart could generate and rates of heart contractions. We also examined markers of heart damage and stress, like enzymes and inflammatory signals.

Our findings were promising. The group that received MK-4 after the I/R injury showed a significant reduction in the size of heart damage, alongside improved heart function. This group also had lower levels of markers related to heart stress and damage, indicating that MK-4 might help the heart recover from the stress of a heart attack. Overall, these results suggest that vitamin K2 could be a valuable ally in enhancing heart health during recovery from ischemic events.

Menaquinone reduces heart attack risk
Dietary intake of menaquinone is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease: the Rotterdam Study.
Study strongly supports vitamin K2 benefits
We explored the effect of dietary intake of menaquinone, commonly known as vitamin K2, on heart attack risk and overall heart health. The investigation drew on data from the Rotterdam Study, tracking 4,807 individuals who did not have prior heart attacks.

Through careful analysis, we observed a noteworthy finding: people who consumed higher amounts of menaquinone had a significantly reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and all-cause mortality. Specifically, those in the mid to upper intake levels of menaquinone exhibited a risk reduction of 27% and 57% for heart-related deaths compared to those with lower intake.

Interestingly, we found that menaquinone intake also seemed to correlate with lower instances of severe aortic calcification, suggesting its potential role in preventing vascular issues. On the other hand, our analysis indicated that phylloquinone, or vitamin K1, did not show any significant relationship with these health outcomes.

These findings underscore the importance of adequate menaquinone consumption as a potential strategy for heart attack prevention and cardiovascular health improvement.

Palpitations noted
I experienced heart palpitations with this Vitamin K2 M7 variant, which frightened me to consider taking another capsule. I found MK4 to be much better, as I had no issues with palpitations. If you have a history of heart issues, I recommend avoiding this.

Blood pressure stabilization
My husband started taking vitamin K2 with Grape Seed Extract. Since then, he's been able to stop taking his BP medication. This combination has stabilised his blood pressure and prevented panic attacks related to pharmaceuticals.

Not suitable for me
This could be a good product for those who do not experience side effects from K2 (MK-7). Unfortunately, I suffer from heart palpitations when using this supplement.

Vascular calcification prevention
This form of vitamin K2 is excellent for preventing vascular calcification. I recommend pairing it with high doses of vitamin D3. I prefer to take them separately, and this combination works perfectly for me. I wholeheartedly advise you to try this.

Heart attack prevention
Vitamin K2 is crucial for preventing calcium build-up in the arteries, taking calcium to the bones, and reducing the risk of heart attack. Consult your doctor and take care of your health.
9.5
Cardiovascular protection
Vitamin K2 is excellent for protecting the cardiovascular system by redistributing calcium from the arteries. Excess calcium can lead to heart attack, and K2 helps maintain healthy vessels. Stay well!

Osteoporosis combat
I take K2 alongside D3 to prevent calcium from settling in my blood vessels and heart valves, ensuring it is absorbed by my bones. This combination effectively combats osteoporosis and has not caused any gastrointestinal discomfort.

Survival extension
Taking vitamin K2 appears to lower the risk of dying from coronary heart disease and reduces arterial calcification. Many people lack this vitamin over time, making supplementation vital for heart health and bone strength.
