Did you know that a dentist is credited with the discovery of vitamin K2?
Weston A. Price (a dentist from Cleveland, 1870-1948) was researching what made primitive peoples far from Western civilization stronger than most people today. Price examined the foods of primitive peoples, compared them with modern North American foods, and found that the native foods contained many more vitamins and minerals. Thus began the discovery of vitamin k2. In the course of his research, he discovered a new fat-soluble nutrient, which he named Factor X. This nutrient, he found in fish, offal and butter made from the milk of grazing animals. We now know that this nutrient is vitamin K2. This vitamin was found in the diets of primitive tribes without exception.
Different from vitamin K-1
Since 1939, vitamin K2 has been shown to have a number of physiological effects: it is unlike vitamin K1, which is similar in name. As with the B vitamins, vitamin K is a family. Several molecules, completely different from each other, with completely different physiological effects, are unfortunately called vitamin K. The vitamin K1 or phylloquinone just mentioned is found only in plants, typically dark, green and leafy plants, and plays an important role in blood clotting. In contrast, vitamin K-2 or menaquinones are several different compounds, of which a dozen have been identified and named MK4… MK13. Of these, MK4 and MK7 have been shown to be of physiological value. In the past, medical textbook authors knew that it did not matter which form a person acquired, because the body could convert one form into another and back again if necessary. In fact, this statement is not accurate. Bacteria in the gut flora can convert vitamin K1 to K2, especially if it is the gut flora of a healthy cow or goat. A mouse is less able to do this and human gut flora is very poor.
Poor nutrition and vitamin K2 deficiency because:
Many people still avoid eating eggs, which are the best source of MK4 type K-2 vitamin.
Many people avoid fatty foods because they fear atherosclerosis.
On our pizza, we don't get aged cheese but worthless „cheese preparation” which contains no MK7 at all.
We don't eat fermented soy products because they are not part of the western diet, even though they are the richest source of MK7.
We don't eat pastured animal meat or milk because it is two to three times more expensive than factory farmed animal products.
However, antibiotics have proliferated, which permanently shut down the already poor ability of the gut flora to produce vitamin K2.
Vitaking vitamin K2 contains 100g of vitamin MK7.
