Vitamin K2 MK4 reduces heart attack size and damage

[Mauritio]

... that was after the heart attack had already happened. Vitamin K2 MK4 also reduced lactate, NO, CRP and Malondialdehyde, while it increased SOD. In other words: it had broadspectrum anti-inflammatory actions and reduced the mycardial infarct size. Not sure about the dosage, unfortunately.

"MK-4 postconditioning significantly reduced myocardial infarct size; increased LVDP, + (LV dp/dt) max, - (LV dp/dt) max, and HR; reduced Tau, CK-MB, LDH, CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, and NOx levels; and increased SOD activity, whereas no significant difference in the GSH level was detected. In conclusion, these data imply that MK-4 may protect the heart from the consequences of I/R."

Thanks Mauritio. Awhile back I was in question about whether to use MK4 or MK7 and then I found a combo of both by innovix labs. Interesting to me is that it makes me so relaxed and after a few hours I feel like sleeping! So I take it in the late afternoon and it works well.

Interesting. I really like MK4.Your tiredness might be because of the anti-cortisol effect of vitamin K.
