Episode notes
Vitamin K2's Brain Role
- Vitamin K2 supports brain health by promoting neuron growth and reducing inflammation.
- Low K2 intake accelerates memory loss and raises neurodegenerative disease risk.
K2 Deficiency Harms Brain Cells
- Vitamin K deficiency increases neuroinflammation and lowers new neuron formation in memory-critical brain areas.
- These changes undermine cognitive resilience and accelerate brain aging.
K2 Protects Bones, Vessels, Brain
- K2 directs calcium to bones and prevents arterial calcification, supporting brain and vascular health.
- Neglecting K2 risks silent arterial stiffening and impaired synaptic function.
