Vitamin K
has long been used as a successful therapy for osteoporosis in Japan. Now in the
U.S. Vitamin K is being recognized as one of the most under-appreciated key bone
building nutrients.. Further, in addition to its bone building effects, vitamin
K appears to play a central role in the prevention of arterial calcification.
We at the Osteoporosis Education Project are particularly
interested in the bone-building potential of the K2 form of this nutrient. At
this time we are seeking funding to conduct a comprehensive scientific literature
review and a comprehensive rethinking of the many roles of vitamin K in bone and
systemic health.
