Better bones with Vitamin K

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
