Vitamin K is a cofactor for enzyme, γ-glutamylcarboxylase. This γ-carboxylation allows VKD proteins to bind calcium. Vitamin K is required for the activity of coagulation and anticoagulation factors and for the binding of osteocalcin to hydroxyapatite in bone.1Both forms of vitamin K, K1 and K2, are essential in maintaining blood hemostasis and optimal bone and […]

Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by loss of bone mass due to a marked bone microarchitecture deterioration.1 Physiologically, bone is constantly remodeled by concerted and coordinated interactions between osteoclasts, the cells primarily involved in bone resorption, and osteoblasts, which ensure bone formation and mineralization. Osteoporosis results from an imbalance between bone deposition and resorption.1 About […]
