I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.
I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one
Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!
I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the
real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.
Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

According to new research, taking high quantities of Vitamin K can help decrease fracture-risk in post-menopausal women.
There are two types of Vitamin K: phylloquinone (vitamin K1) and menaquinone (vitamin K2). 90% of our vitamin K intake comes from K1, which is found in green leafy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and lettuce. The 10% from K2 can be found in animal meat or fermented products like cheese and natto.
The randomized clinical trials involving over 50 subjects were given different doses of K1 and K2. It was found that both vitamin forms, despite dose amounts, lowered blood levels of undercarboxylated osteocalcin, a protein that utilizes calcium in bone tissue. Therefore, it is important to supplement with high doses of Vitamin K to acquire the best possible bone health.
