Vitamin K2 helps increase height and prevent many diseases.

Vitamin K2 plays a role in supporting the process of calcium binding to its target organs, namely bones and teeth, helping bones become strong and develop well, reducing the risk of rickets, osteoporosis, and fractures. In addition, calcium will not travel to soft tissues such as blood vessel walls, helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

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

Vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in many bodily functions, primarily in regulating calcium metabolism in bones and blood. Vitamin K2 activates calcium-regulating proteins, ensuring that calcium is properly incorporated into its target organs—bones and teeth—rather than depositing in soft tissues like blood vessels. When the body lacks vitamin K2, calcium can deposit in the walls of blood vessels, leading to calcification and hardening of the arteries.

Vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in maintaining and developing bone health in infants and young children. During the first few years of life, children experience rapid growth, requiring an adequate supply of vitamin K2 to support the development of strong bones.

Vitamin K2 helps activate osteocalcin – a protein that binds calcium to bone – converting it from its inactive form to its active form. This increases bone cell regeneration, boosts bone production, strengthens bones, and promotes optimal bone growth, especially in long bones, which are the foundation for optimal height development.

According to experts, insufficient vitamin K2 intake can have unpredictable consequences for children's current and future health.

Vitamin K2 deficiency during childhood growth spurts can lead to incomplete bone development, weak bones, increased risk of fractures, slowed bone growth, stunted height development, and long-term bone health problems. Furthermore, insufficient vitamin K2 can cause calcium imbalance in the body, leading to cardiovascular issues.

Speaking at the conference, Professor Leon Schurgers, Vice Chair of the Department of Biochemistry at Maastricht University and Chairman of the global scientific steering committee on quality assurance for vitamin K detection, said: “ To maximize the effectiveness of vitamin K2, it is important to choose products containing vitamin K2 in the form of MK7, especially trans MK7, as this form of vitamin K2 has better bioavailability in the body and is highly pure with fewer impurities.”

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

Supplementing vitamin K2 through diet or supplements can help children grow taller and strengthen bones, 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 achieve the best synergistic effect, particularly in enhancing bone and cardiovascular health.
