How To Keep Healthy: Live Wise Naturals K2 From Fermented Chickpeas 


Vitamin K2, also called menaquinone, is made by the bacteria that line your gastrointestinal tract. It plays a key role in bone and blood vessel health. Vitamin K2 improves the absorption of minerals so it is important in tissue renewal and cell growth.

1. Promotes Healthy Blood Clotting
Vitamin K1 is known to be effective in preventing and treating poor blood clotting caused by vitamin K deficiency or induced by certain medications. Vitamin K2 has also been shown to be effective and apparently more potent in supporting healthy blood clotting.
 
2. Supports the Stabilization of Blood Sugar Levels
Vitamin K2 deficiency is associated with insulin resistance and diabetes. Supplementing with vitamin K2 supports the stabilization of healthy blood sugar levels and your body’s proper response to sugar consumption.
 
3. Promotes Decreased Inflammation
Research has shown that MK-7 helps prevent excessive inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory markers produced by white blood cells called monocytes.


4. Supports Healthy Cellular Functions such as Energy Production

Vitamin K2 has been shown to be necessary for mitochondrial dysfunction "rescue", serving to help maintain normal cellular energy production and produce more energy more quickly.
 
5. Helps to Reduce the Incidence of Cancer and the Risk of Dying from Cancer 

By Supporting metastasis-promoting molecules and Cell Growth,
Vitamin K2 might also be a potent anti-cancer agent. A multi-year population study showed that people who consumed larger amounts of foods know to contain vitamin K2 had a statistically lower risk of dying from cancer, and that men also had a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of cancer, particularly prostate and lung cancers.
6. Helps Direct Calcium to Bones
Vitamin K2 continues to shine as a vitamin that supports multiple aspects of bone health and development. It plays a direct role in transporting calcium from the blood into bone tissue by activating two key calcium transport proteins. In doing so, Vitamin K2 reduces calcification of arteries by directing calcium to where it is supposed to be, in your bones. 
 
7. Supports Balanced Hormone Levels and Bone Health
Vitamin K2 has an important relationship with estrogen and bone health. Estrogen and bone density both decline during menopause and postmenopausal women are often markedly deficient in vitamin K2. Because Vitamin K2 acts in a number of bone loss pathways specific to the bone loss caused by low estrogen levels, bone health may be improved in postmenopausal women by restoring adequate vitamin K2 level. Vitamin K2 also plays a role in estrogen metabolism levels itself. Additionally, testosterone levels and sperm production may be improved by osteocalcin, the hormone activated by vitamin K2.
 

What Makes Live Wise Naturals K2 From Fermented Chickpeas Unique

Live Wise Naturals K2 combines nutrients from Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) from fermented chickpeas to promote a wide variety of vital functions in the human body. Some of those functions include healthy blood clotting to the stabilization of proper blood sugar levels, the maintenance of balanced hormone levels, decreasing inflammation and supporting bone health.

This amazing product is manufactured in the USA and contains Vitamin K2 as MK7 from fermented chickpeas rather than from Natto which is made from soy. Many people are allergic to soy and should avoid Vitamin K2 products derived from natto.
 
Live Wise Naturals K2 is derived from chickpeas which allow individuals with allergies and sensitivities to enjoy the benefits of this important nutrient without a potential allergic reaction.
 
Although soy is recognized for its health benefits, the isoflavones in soy may disrupt hormone balance. Soy is a phytoestrogen that mimics the body's naturally occurring hormone functions. These same estrogenic compounds (isoflavones) can have a negative effect on female hormones when consumed in large amounts.  Live Wise Naturals K2 derived from chickpeas allows individuals to enjoy the benefits of this vital nutrient without the potential negative impact on hormone balance.
