Mechanism of Vitamin K2 MK-7
ucOC= undercarboxylated osteocalcin (inactive osteocalcin) / cOC: carboxylated osteocalcin (active osteocalcin)
ucMGP= undercarboxylated MGP (inactive MGP) / cMGP= carboxylated MGP (active MGP)
ucMGP= undercarboxylated MGP (inactive MGP) / cMGP= carboxylated MGP (active MGP)
01
Vitamin K2 MK-7 is essential for the carboxylation of osteocalcin and MGP (Matrix Gla Protein) proteins.
02
Activated osteocalcin can help improve bone health by binding to calcium, transporting calcium to the bones and allowing the bones to absorb calcium better.
03
When MGP is activated, it can improve cardiovascular disease by inhibiting calcium accumulation in blood vessels of arteries, kidney, and brain.
