hey dr. Burke here in this video we’re

going to talk about vitamin k2 now you

may have heard vitamin k1 which is

involved in clotting but vitamin k2 is a

completely different vitamin and a lot

of people don’t know about it because

it’s a very recently discovered vitamin

but I want to talk about what it does

this is a vitamin that is involved in

the transportation of calcium so it

supports calcium metabolism

now when a postmenopausal female or

pretty much anyone who’s taking calcium

and vitamin D or just calcium and

they’re taking it to think that it’s

going to help their bones a lot of times

it may help their bones but in the last

three clinical trials which I’m going to

list below on this on this page

they found that it increases chances of

getting heart attacks by 50 percent now

why is that because this is the missing

element to help transport the calcium

from the blood into the bone so vitamin

k2 helps support healthy bone it also

helps remove soft tissue calcium in soft

tissue calcium is just buildup of

calcium in the kidney in the artery in

the joints so I recommend this for

anyone that has any problem with calcium

metabolism in general so you’re going to

be hearing a lot more on vitamin k2 in

the near future because it’s something

that’s really missed but I always

recommend it in combination with vitamin

D so I listed the combinations that you

need below and really if you have too

much calcium build up you don’t even

need to take calcium you need to take

this one to help clean up the calcium

that you already have but I do recommend

a small amount of calcium if you have

problems with osteoporosis or osteopenia

but if you’re eating fairly healthy with

maybe fermented dairy products like

cheese or yogurt or kefir then you

you’re getting plenty of the calcium but

what you’re missing is vitamin k2 so if

you want to support healthy bone

metabolism

this is the vitamin that you want to get
