Vitamin K Protocol
“Vitamins and minerals
are not functionally separable. They make each other work. Example: vitamin D
is necessary for the body to absorb calcium. Copper is necessary for vitamin
C activity. And so on. Mineral deficiencies can cause vitamin deficiencies, and
vice versa. Epidemic mineral deficiency in “Vitamin K suppresses
interleukin-6 and has been show to protect against a wide range of age related
diseases.” Reddi et al “In a study very low
blood levels of vitamin K1 were found in patients who had fractures. The
severity of the fracture strongly correlated with the level of circulating
vitamin K.” Bitensky “In a study of
postmenopausal women the lower the blood level of vitamin K in individuals the
lower their bone density.” Kanai et al “Vitamins K and C used
together have shown considerable clinical efficacy when used to treat nausea
and vomiting occurring during pregnancy. In a study 91% of patients showed
complete remission within 72 hours.” Merkel “It is probable that
deficiency of vitamin K, particularly that of menaquinone-7(MK-7) is one of the
risk factors for osteoporosis.” Kaneki
et al “We found that
bone-building compounds and the bone-forming activity of osteobalsts all
increased significantly in the presence of MK-7. MK-7 may have a preventive
role for bone deterioration with aging.” Yamaguchi et al “In a study of elderly
female rats MK-7 was found to prevent drops in the bone forming compounds and
to inhibit the activity of bone-eroding compounds.”
Tsukamoto “MK-7 has been shown in
several studies to reverse and even prevent some forms of cardiovascular
disease by eliminating excess calcium in the blood. In other studies MK-7 has
been shown to be effective in reversing osteoporosis. Furthermore studies
indicate that MK-7 may help lower cholesterol, play a role in preventing
Alzheimer’s and treat some forms of cancer. Vitamin K is a well known and
powerful antioxidant.” Howard & Payne “Vitamin K occurs naturally
in one of “Nattokinase from the
Japanese food Natto is among the most powerful natural agents in terms of
fibrinolytic activity.” Doctor Hiroyuki Sumi, discoverer of
Nattokinase “Although vitamin K1 is
still important for those who might have trouble maintaining normal
blood-clotting functions, MK-7 is a better choice when it comes to common “old
age” maladies such as bone loss or hardening of the arteries. In fact MK-7 was
noted in one study to be three times more effective than vitamin K1 in improving
total vitamin K status in the body.” Howard & Payne “Vitamin K2 can bring
about significant reductions in serum cholesterol, can prevent and possibly
ameliorate Alzheimer’s and may be effective in addressing some forms of cancer.
And recent studies indicate that vitamin K2 (and especially MK-7) is more
bioavailable and effective than vitamin K1.” Howard
& Payne “In a study of 27 Japanese
men aged 64 to 84 it was found that the degree of bone loss increased as the levels
of vitamin D, albumin and vitamin MK-7 decreased.”
Tamatani et al “Female rats given
ovariectomies and thus unprotected by hormones from bone loss were fed a diet
rich in MK-4 and MK-7. It was found that MK-7 and not MK-4 prevented loss of
bone.” Yamaguchi et al “In a study tissue from male
rats was cultured both with and without MK-7. It was found that bone building
compounds and bone-forming activity of osteobalsts all increased significantly
in the presence of MK-7.” Yamaguchi et al, 2001 “Unlike vitamin K1
which does not accumulate in the body, MK-7 has a half life of three and one
half days and will build up in the blood over time, establishing higher
concentrations.” Howard & Payne, Note just the thing
for those with bone problems or calcified arteries “In bones vitamin K (K1
and “Both vitamin K1 and K2 were
associated with higher HDL and “A hallmark of normal
aging involves calcification in soft tissues throughout the body such as heart
valves, glands, blood vessels, systemic calcification. As we age we lose our
ability to regulate calcium balance. Vitamin K can quickly restore calcium
homeostasis. Vitamin
K is absolutely essential for regulating calcium balance in the body. A deficiency of vitamin K status causes
brittle bones and a vascular system that hardens to a state of poor
functionality.” Life
Extension, Note want to slow aging? Here it is. “Compared with the lowest
intake of vitamin K2, men with the highest vitamin K2 dietary consumption
showed a 63% reduced incidence of advanced prostate cancer.”
Nimptsch et al EPIC-Heidelberg 2008 “The synergistic effect
of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in preventing osteoporosis has been shown in
clinical trials.” Hirao et al “Drugs like Coumadin that
antagonize vitamin K do more than cause bone loss and arterial calcification. In
a model of melanoma in mice, the oral administration of
anticoagulant drugs that
antagonize vitamin K drastically promoted metastasis.”
Life Extension “By preventing
pathological tissue calcification vitamin K may confer anti-aging effects
throughout the body. Higher vitamin K intake has been associated with reduced
all-cause mortality.” Life Extension
"One study says that natural vitamin K2 reduced arterial calcifications by 50%. And it also reduced cardiovascular mortality risk by the same amount. The dose they used in this study was only 45 mcg. That's a tiny dose. Personally, I think 100 mcg is the optimum dose. So try to take this much every day. The best food source of this vitamin is natto." Doctor Robert Rowen MD "A new analysis says that current recommendations for vitamin K are not being met, placing people at increased risk of age-related diseases like cancer and heart disease. The analysis of data from hundreds of published articles dating back to the 1970s, conducted by Joyce McCann, PhD and Bruce Ames, PhD from Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, also suggests that current recommendations for vitamin K intake need to be increased to ensure optimal health. Current recommendations are based on levels to ensure adequate blood coagulation, but failing to ensure long-term optimal levels of the vitamin may accelerate bone fragility, arterial and kidney calcification, cardiovascular disease and possibly cancer.” Swanson Vitamins, Note once again we see the RDA being foisted on us is targeted at a single low level requirement while MANY other high level requirements are ignored Another study, published in the
Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology,
found vitamin K can literally
kill off leukemia, pancreatic and ovarian cancer cells.
It does this by programming the cells to “self destruct.”
There are three different types of
vitamin K:
Synthetic
vitamins are NOT Complete Vitamins “This will be a short chapter, but after
you're finished with it, you will know more about vitamins than 95% of clinical
nutritionists, doctors, supplement sales force, or bodybuilders. If that sounds
arrogant or overstated, it really isn't my fault. I'm just a messenger; a
purveyor of information. Either I'm right or the 95% are right; can't be both.
Without further ado, here's the kernel: ascorbic acid is not
vitamin C. Alpha tocopherol is not vitamin E. Retinoic acid is not
vitamin A. And so on through the other vitamins. Vast sums of money have been
expended to make these myths part of Conventional Wisdom. If you have several
college degrees and all this is news to you, don't feel bad. Unless
you think your education ended at Commencement.” Doctor
Tim O'Shea Sources of Vitamin K "How many people have adequate vitamin K… care to guess? Just about zero. Most people get just enough K from their diets to maintain adequate blood clotting, but NOT enough to offer protection against he following health problems—and the list is growing: Arterial Calcification, Osteoporosis, Brain Problems, Dementia, CVD, Cancer et al." Doctor Vermeer "Doctor Vermeer makes the point that vitamin K will never be able to do its work alone. It needs collaborators—and vitamin D is an important one. There is a synergistic effect between vitamins D and K. These two agents work together to increase MGP, or Matrix GLA Protein, which is the protein responsible for protecting your blood vessels from calcification. In fact, MGP is so important that it can be used as a laboratory measure of your vascular and cardiac status.” Doctor Joseph Mercola MD "Those following certain vegetarian diets may not be getting enough vitamin K2 thus exposing themselves to significant [Soft Tissue] calcification risk even though they assume they are eating healthy." Life Extension, Note if you are eating vegetarian NATTO is about your only way to get vitamin K2 “Most cheeses are rich in vitamin K2… particularly, curd cheese. And even though it’s not as high in vitamin K2 as natto, curd cheese may be more palatable on a day-to-day basis for many people. Raw curd cheese made from grass fed cows would be best. Curd cheese is also a good vitamin K2 source because it’s lower in fat (animal fat) than regular cheese. When compared to natto in equal portions… Japanese food natto contains over 27 times more vitamin K2 than curd cheese.” Doctor Joseph Mercola MD
Green leafy vegetables, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli are good sources of vitamin K1. Eat a little butter or other good fat (See Fat Protocol) with your vegetables to absorb the fat-soluble vitamin K. Good digestion (See Digestion Protocol) and probiotic care encourages your intestines to manufacture vitamin K2. Antibiotic drugs (See Antibiotics Protocol) and chlorinated water wipe out your intestinal flora, which are the source of the vitamin K2 made by your body. Butter, cheese, liver, eggs and Natto (See Natto Protocol) contain vitamin K2. Natto especially is a super source of vitamin K2. IMO have a few ounces of natto at least once or twice a week. I eat all the sources of vitamin K1 and K2 often. Plants rich in Vitamin K1
Vitamin K2 Sources
Most of our Vitamin K is the “Vitamin K engages in a delicate dance with vitamin D;
whereas vitamin D provides improved bone development by helping you
absorb
calcium, there is new evidence that vitamin K2
directs the calcium to your skeleton, while
preventing it from being deposited where you don't want it -- i.e., your organs,
joint spaces, and arteries. A large part of arterial plaque consists of calcium
deposits (atherosclerosis), hence the term "hardening of the arteries. Vitamin
K2 activates a protein hormone called osteocalcin, produced by osteoblasts,
which is needed to bind calcium into the matrix of your bone. Osteocalcin also
appears to help prevent calcium from depositing into your arteries. In other
words, without the help of vitamin K2, the calcium that your vitamin D so
effectively lets in might be working AGAINST you -- by building up your coronary
arteries rather than your bones.”
Why Might Vitamin K2 be so Beneficial for Your Heart?
Although vitamin K is a
fat-soluble vitamin, unlike other fat-soluble
vitamins it does not accumulate in your body and its stores are rapidly depleted
without regular dietary intake or its production in our intestine. Most
of our Vitamin K is the
Vascular Calcification "Autopsy reports show that 75% - 95% of men and women suffer some degree of vascular calcification; vascular calcification may be prevented by correcting a vitamin K deficiency." Life Extension "We know vitamin K is essential for MGP-carboxylation which in turn shields heart valves and arteries from pathological calcification. We also know that vascular calcification is an active and therefore preventable process if vitamin K intake is increased." Life Extension, Note please visit our vitamin K protocol to learn how to bring your vitamin K levels up "Homocysteine is a prime culprit that causes the initial endothelial injury that leads to atherosclerosis. What conventional doctors fail to acknowledge today is homocysteine' role in initiating damage to the vascular system." Life Extension, Note if you have a good level of vitamin C and other collagen producing substances' in your blood infrequent damage will be repaired. Vitamin K is absolutely essential to prevent the calcification of your vascular system. You MUST assure enough vitamin K to do this very important job. Cutting back on your calcium intake will NOT prevent the calcification of your tissues; only vitamin K can help do it.

It does this by programming the cells to “self destruct.”

Vitamin K has been found to be beneficial in the fight
against the following cancers: liver, colon, stomach, nasopharynx, lung,
leukemia and oral cancer. Vitamin K suppresses inflammation, which helps fight
many diseases.

Vitamin K Deficiency is often
Undetected
Please be
aware that unless you are
aware of vitamin K and its various forms, sources and antagonists there is a
good chance you will be deficient often, probably ALWAYS.
This is not a good situation. IMO do the work to make sure you have all the
vitamin K you require. Maintaining a good level of vitamin K, especially K2 as
we grow older is a MUST for those of us who wish to remain active physically and
NOT “retire” to a wheelchair in front of a propaganda box once we hit 70 or so.
Calcification of each of your 100 trillion individual cells is what
in the end slows you down.
Vitamin K2, magnesium and a few other goodies can help keep this from
happening.
