 In Life Extension Magazine - Super Sale 2006 issue, an article was about "The Misunderstood Vitamin."  In the article, it quoted scientific experiments concluding that vitamin K is needed for the bone to absorb calcium.  Without vitamin K deficiency, taking calcium supplements only causes the calcium to deposit on the arterial wall.

On the other hand, if you go to surf WebMD, another authoritative source, you may run into this article, "Vitamin K: No help for Bone Density."  It quoted a large scale research conducted by the Toronto's Health Network demonstrating bone density scan of a large group of women after 2 years and after 4 years shows no difference between sub-group taking K from that not taking K.

Who should we believe?

The YBM's philosophy is that if you're eating healthy, having multi-vitamin and minerals supplementation, in most cases in a developing country, you're not calcium or vitamin K deficient.  What leach the calcium out of the bone is due to the imbalance of your body pH. Typically, we are very acidic.  Metabolic functions create acidity and most modern foods we eat are acidic forming.  As a result, overtime, our body is deprived of its own alkaline buffer - the ability to nuetralize the acidity.  When this happens, the body either has to get calcium help from the bones - losing bone density, or deposite the acid in the joints and fats.  The best way to deal with this is through YBM Diet - eating alkaline formine foods and drinking alkaline water.

A daily high dose of vitamin

A daily high dose of vitamin K provides no protection against the age-related decline in bone density in postmenopausal women, and that it cannot be recommended for the prevention of osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become more fragile and more likely to break.

Cons:

  • Risk of fracture is dependent on more factors than just bone density
  • May encourage patients to take unnecessary medications
