The average woman loses 10% of her bone mass during the menopause transition but Vitamin K can significantly reduce menopausal bone loss.
There is major interaction between Vitamin K, Vitamin D and calcium. This vitamin cannot be forgotten about. It is a fat-soluble vitamin and is important because it prevents blood clotting; it is essential for a menopausal woman because it removes excess calcium from the blood and accommodates both bone and tooth formation. Vitamin K also helps with digestion.
Vitamin K is not a magic panacea for the menopause but will most definitely have a positive influence during the menopausal period.
Vitamin K helps to prevent:
• Breast cancer and cysts
• Obesity and diabetes
• Stiff joints and osteoarthritis
• Gum disease and dental plaque
• Ovarian cysts
• Coronary artery disease
• Glaucoma and macular degeneration
