La vitamina K2 funziona. Ma non come credi

Vitamin K2 really does slow calcium accumulation in the coronary arteries: this is shown by the best study ever conducted on the subject, recently published in JAMA Cardiology. But does less calcium in the arteries really mean fewer heart attacks? For years, a piece of advice has been circulating on social media that's almost taken for granted: if you take vitamin D, combine it with K2, because D increases calcium absorption and K2 "sends" it to the bones instead of the arteries. It's a biochemically plausible idea, yet it's nowhere to be found in any guidelines. In this video, we analyze the new randomized trial: 180 people with coronary artery disease received 360 micrograms of MK-7 daily versus a placebo for two years. The result seems like a victory, but a closer look at what happens to plaque makes things much more interesting. Calcium in plaque isn't always the enemy: sometimes it can be a sign of more stable plaque, as happens with statins. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama...

[Who am I?] My name is Roberto Gindro, and I graduated with a degree in pharmacy from the University of Eastern Piedmont in Novara n years ago. I was then fortunate enough to continue my studies with a doctorate and, in the meantime, I began working in a pharmacy in a small Piedmontese village. I worked daily with "my" patients for about 20 years, but since 2007, I've discovered that without the increasingly crushing bureaucracy that weighs on pharmacy work, I've been able to dedicate myself online with greater enthusiasm and compassion to helping anyone who approached me for advice, especially through the websites Healthy.TheWom.it and ValoriNormali.com, which I created and then sold to Mondadori. Today, only more digital! :-) In the meantime, I've earned a Master's degree in Dietetics and Nutrition. Oh, yes, a few years ago I felt enormous satisfaction in self-publishing a book aimed at helping women struggling with pregnancy that sometimes just won't happen (Amazon affiliate link: https://amzn.to/3lfIbNG).
