SelecK2™ Complex is a product that consists of Calcium, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K2.
The main ingredient here is Vitamin K2. One of its function is the synthesis of osteocalcin.
Osteocalcin is a vitamin K-dependent bone protein synthesized by osteoblasts (bone building cells). It provides the “glue” that holds calcium in the bone, giving structure and order to bone tissue; without it the bone would be fragile and easily broken.
Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin through a process called “carboxylation”. Without carboxylated osteocalcin, calcium cannot be properly utilized for bone structure. Based on recent studies, it has also shown that Vitamin K2 helps prevent the calcification of arteries and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), a potent inhibitor of soft tissue calcification, which may cause other health issues.
Calcification of atherosclerotic plaques may occur as the condition progresses, resulting in decreased elasticity of the affected blood vessels and increased risk of clot formation, which is the usual cause of heart attacks and stroke.
Evidence now suggest that vascular calcification shares many similarities to bone metabolism. One of those regulatory proteins is Vitamin K-dependent Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), and the nutrients required to activate the MGP is Vitamin K. By taking Vitamin K2, not only can we potentially prevent the damage from osteoporosis from escalating, but we can also ensure the calcium that we intake is fully utilized for the repair of bone structure.
There is also no risk of calcified arteries and MGP, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Each tablet contains: Vitamin K2 – 90 mcg Vitamin D3 – 500 IU Calcium Carbonate – 1500 mg (Equiv. to 600 mg of Calcium)
60 tablets KKM Certified
