Vitamin K2 helps increase height and prevent many diseases

Vitamin K2 plays a role in supporting the process of attaching Calcium to the right target organs, which are bones and teeth, helping bones to be strong and develop well, limiting the risk of rickets, osteoporosis and bone fractures. In addition, Calcium will not go to soft tissues such as blood vessel walls, helping to limit the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Vitamin K2, scientifically known as Menaquinones, is a form of vitamin K that exists in many different forms. The two most common forms of vitamin K2 include MK-4 and MK-7, which are the most studied and most commonly used in supplements.

Vitamin K2 plays an important role in many functions of the body, mainly regulating the metabolism of calcium in bones and blood. Vitamin K2 helps activate calcium-regulating proteins, ensuring that calcium is attached to the right "target" organs, such as bones and teeth, instead of being deposited in soft tissues such as blood vessels. When the body lacks vitamin K2, calcium can be deposited in the walls of blood vessels, causing calcification and hardening of blood vessels.

Vitamin K2 plays an important role in maintaining and developing bone health in infants and young children. During the first years of life, children grow very rapidly, requiring adequate amounts of vitamin K2 to support the development of strong bones.

Vitamin K2 helps activate Osteocalcin - a protein that binds calcium to bones from an inactive form to an active Osteocalcin form that helps increase bone cell regeneration, increase bone production, make bones strong and develop optimal bones, especially in long bones, which is the foundation for optimal height development.

The D3K2 Lineabon trio of products helps provide the full amount of D3 and K2 needed for children.

According to experts, not providing enough vitamin K2 can cause unpredictable consequences for children's current and future health.

Vitamin K2 deficiency during the growth stages of children can lead to incomplete bone development, weak bones, increased risk of fractures, slow bone growth rate, causing children to grow taller as well as problems affecting bone health in the long term. Moreover, insufficient vitamin K2 can cause calcium imbalance in the body, leading to cardiovascular problems.

Sharing at the workshop, Professor Leon Schurgers, Vice President of the Department of Biochemistry at Maastricht University, and Chairman of the scientific steering committee for quality assurance of vitamin K discovery globally, said: “ For vitamin K2 to be most effective, it is important to choose products containing vitamin K2 in the form of MK7, especially the trans MK7 form because this is the form of vitamin K2 that has better bioavailability in the body and is highly pure, with few impurities.”

During this scientific conference, the professor shared details of his groundbreaking research related to the role of vitamin K2 in improving bone density and height growth in children.

Supplementing vitamin K2 from diet or supplements can help children grow taller and improve bone health, especially when combined with vitamin D3 to optimize calcium absorption and utilization in the body. Supplementing vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 together is more effective than supplementing each separately to bring the best synergistic effect, especially enhancing benefits for bone health and cardiovascular health.

The workshop not only attracted doctors and leading experts in the field of nutrition but also representatives of pharmaceutical and mother and baby product distribution units nationwide.

“ Participating in scientific seminars helps sellers provide accurate advice to consumers and have a correct view of supplementary products, thereby bringing consumers the best and most effective products ” - Ms. Phan Thi Dam - Lecturer at the Northern Training Center of FPT Long Chau pharmacy chain - said.

The discussions and sharing at the scientific conference by experts provide valuable medical information and contribute to raising public awareness of the importance of vitamins D3 and K2. From there, it helps parents have more reliable scientific information to make the most informed decisions in choosing nutritional supplements, especially vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 for the comprehensive development of children.
