If you are the possessor of a human body, you need the information in this article.
If the human race at large were to understand and act on the information you are about to read, countless lives could be saved and untold human suffering could be avoided.
You can’t save the world, but you can save yourself. What I’m about to tell you is incredibly easy to do and costs almost nothing in terms of money, time, and effort required.
There is no down-side. No side effects. No reason not to do it.
And, it may save you from the tragedy of heart disease, arterial calcification, type ll diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, tooth decay, gum disease, and other very undesirable (and often fatal) health conditions.
The incredibly important vitamin I am referring to is well known, but almost universally misunderstood. It is usually confused with its sibling, with which it has very little in common, and its role in human health is tragically, almost criminally ignored.
I’m not referring to vitamin K. I am referring to a specific member of the vitamin K family. And it is one in which almost everyone in our modern society is deficient. And this deficiency is doing incalculable damage to the health and longevity of modern humans.
Contrary to common belief, the term vitamin K does not refer to a single substance, but to a group of substances, some of them natural and some synthetic. The two members of this family that I will be discussing are vitamin K1 and the vitamin K2 category. (I say category because there is more than one form of K2).
K1 is the vitamin that is so important in the body’s blood clotting mechanism. It keeps us from bleeding to death from the simplest little cut. Unfortunately, most health professionals don’t know the difference between this vitamin and vitamin K2, which has almost nothing to do with blood clotting. I daresay, that most health professionals don’t even realize there is another vitamin K.
Important note: If you are on blood thinners and your health professional tells you to avoid vitamin K, you may need to educate said professional on vitamin K2, which will not conflict with the action of blood thinners and has even been shown to prevent some of the very negative side effects of those drugs.
Let’s get K1 out of the way.
It is very important, but three factors make it a nutrient that we don’t need to worry much about.
