This “missing link” to optimal health is quite possibly even more important for your health than vitamin D. More specifically, your body requires it for building strong bones and teeth and for preventing their breakdown over time. It helps to keep calcium from accumulating in your arteries and joints, and instead sends calcium to your bones in the areas where you need it. This nutrient also protects against oxidative damage, promotes healthy and youthful skin, enhances memory and balances mood, and supports healthy blood sugar levels.

Epidemiological research as well as recent double-blind studies also strongly suggest that this “missing link” nutrient plays a role in the prevention of prostate cancer and liver cancer, in addition to being protective against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, nervous system disorders, dental caries, and osteoporosis.

Nicknamed the “forgotten vitamin,” it is virtually missing from the diets of even the most health-conscious individuals! Why? The only dietary sources of this nutrient are the strong-tasting fermented Japanese soy food called nattokinase and fermented animal fats from grass-fed animals.  Because most animals that are grown commercially for food are fed corn-based diets, and most people have been led to believe that animal fats are unhealthy, modern diets are typically lacking in this vitamin.  (Plus, one would have to eat a LOT of fermented animal fat and/or nattokinase on a daily basis to get a protective dosage of this vitamin.)

Can you guess what it is? Written about by by Weston Price in 1945 in his famous text Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Vitamin K2 (the “missing link” to optimal health) works with Vitamin D3 to get calcium out of your joints, arteries, and soft tissues, and into your bones and bone marrow.  Price actually called this nutrient “Activator X,” though it is now known as Vitamin K2 (not to be confused with Vitamin K1, which is abundant in leafy green plants and microalgae).

Unfortunately, few people know about the importance of Vitamin K2.  While research shows that the human body requires at least 50 mcg of Vitamin K2 each day, most people get absolutely none at all!  Perhaps this is the reason why just about everyone eventually develops arthritis, osteoporosis, calcified arteries, and dental caries, or worse!  And even more sadly, the vitamin supplement companies are cashing in on people’s ignorance by producing synthetic vitamin K supplements which are neither K1 nor K2, but rather, K3!

We have searched out some of the best Vitamin K2 supplements available so we can offer them to you here at Holistic Chinese Herbs.  Our products have all been tested by a third party to verify potency, accurate labeling of ingredients, and absence of artificial ingredients, dyes, and fillers.  Our K2 supplements are all from natural sources, and we never promote products containing synthetic vitamins.
