so today I’m going to talk about vitamin k2 and some of the functions that go way

beyond just dealing with bone formation we talked about vitamin k2 most people

associate that with making your bones more solid and also removing the soft

tissue calcium from the joints or the arteries and then driving that into the

bone and vitamin k2 works with item and D but vitamin k2 does a lot more as far

as the function of bone goes we might think it’s just a structural scaffolding

to hold everything together but bone not only provides a structural function but

it’s vital in making immune cells a lot of your immune cells originate from the

bone marrow but there’s another interesting function your bone acts as

an endocrine gland it makes a hormone called osteocalcin has to do with a

hormone that can affect your blood sugars and it just so happens that

vitamin k2 triggers this hormone so vitamin k2 has the capacity of improving

insulin resistance and when I say improving insulin resistance I’m not

talking about worsening insulin resistance talking about making it

better because vitamin k2 can increase insulin sensitivity and there’s so many

people on this planet right now that have a problem with instant resistance

without being aware of it so vitamin k2 can help stabilize your blood sugars and

increase the output the production of insulin from your pancreas but it does

other things as well it has a capacity to suppress inflammation vitamin k2 is

an anti-inflammatory vitamin we know vitamin D is anti-inflammatory by

vitamin k2 can also help as well now number four vitamin k2 can decrease fat

accumulation why because it helps to balance insulin all right number five

vitamin k2 can also increase the capacity of energy in your mitochondria

when you exercise now I have some personal experience on this one

here when I take vitamin k2 30 minutes before I go on a bike ride I have much

better endurance especially going up hills now and number six

it can even increase testosterone now realize if you’re female it’s not going

to increase testosterone beyond your normal levels okay so it’s just gonna

help balance testosterone now let’s talk about the foods that are high in vitamin

k2 NATO which is fermented soybeans butter if it’s grass-fed yolk as an egg

yolk goose liver pepperoni of course without the nitrates

salami without the nitrates sausage sauerkraut in certain cheese’s like

Munster cheese Gouda brie another one being Edom and hard cheese the key is

grass-fed chase now if you look at some of these foods like NATO and sauerkraut

k2 is made by a bacteria it’s part of the fermentation process now if you look

at some of these other ones they’re either coming from an animal fat or milk

or an egg but the animal originally a grass which has a lot of vitamin k1 and

then converts it to k2 as a fat soluble vitamin and it gets stored in the fat
