Vitamin K involved in three physiological processes
According to the BfR, three physiological processes have been identified so far in which vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs) play a role:
- blood clotting,
- Bone metabolism and
- Vascular biology.
According to BfR, synergistic effects of vitamin K and D result from “the fact that the two fat-soluble vitamins play a central role in maintaining calcium homeostasis and bone mineralization.” However, so far there is hardly any data from studies in which vitamin D and MK-7 were administered together. Finally, the claim circulating on the Internet that vitamin K2 can prevent the risk of vascular calcification through high vitamin D intake has not yet been scientifically proven.
