Calcium Routing
What it does
Think of K2 as a traffic director for calcium. It activates the proteins that guide calcium into your bones and teeth, where you want it, and help keep it out of your arteries and soft tissue, where you don't. That's why it pairs so naturally with vitamin D and calcium. It's hard to get enough from a typical diet.
The science
The molecular traffic director for calcium, ensuring minerals are deposited safely into bones and teeth rather than accumulating as arterial plaque.
Most relevant for
Anyone taking vitamin D or calcium, and bone-health focus.
