Vitamin K2 Linked To Reduced Artery Plaque In Study
A new cardiovascular health study is drawing attention to vitamin K2 and its potential role in reducing carotid artery plaque formation. Researchers observed that participants who consumed ninety micrograms of vitamin K2 daily experienced more than a fifty five percent reduction in plaque progression over nine months.
Carotid artery plaque develops when fatty deposits build up along the artery walls, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Vitamin K2 plays a key role in activating proteins that help direct calcium away from arteries and into bones. Scientists believe this mechanism may slow arterial calcification and support vascular flexibility.
In the study, imaging tests showed improved arterial markers compared to baseline measurements. However, medical experts caution that results can vary based on overall diet, lifestyle, and existing cardiovascular conditions. Vitamin K2 is found in fermented foods and certain animal products, but supplementation should be discussed with a healthcare professional, especially for individuals on bl*od thinning medication.
While not a standalone treatment, this research highlights how targeted nutrients may influence heart health.
Could vitamin K2 become part of broader strategies to support long term cardiovascular wellness?
