Vitamin K2 is a vital nutrient newly recognized for supporting bone and cardiovascular health, shown in observational and intervention trials, in healthy and patient populations, in adults and children. Even more recently, it has come to light that K2 status and the vitamin’s mechanism of action impact other health areas, including but not limited to brain health, healthy joints, neuropathy, and vision health. This evidence lends itself to the argument that correcting a widespread vitamin K2 deficiency can significantly improve global health. The first step in remedying that deficiency is establishing a vitamin K2-specific recommended daily intake.

Vitamin K2 supports bone and cardiovascular health, but its mechanism of action also impacts brain, joint, neuropathy, and vision health, suggesting a widespread deficiency could significantly improve global health.
