Protect Your Brain from Cognitive Decline With Vitamin K2 - AI Podcast
Story at-a-glance
- Low vitamin K intake damages brain function and memory by reducing brain cell growth and increasing inflammation, especially in the brain region responsible for learning and memory
- Vitamin K2 is important for directing calcium to bones instead of arteries, supporting brain health and reducing inflammation, but most Western diets lack sufficient K2
- In a study, mice fed a diet low in vitamin K showed significantly poorer performance in memory tests and had fewer new brain cells forming in key cognitive areas
- Good sources of vitamin K2 include grass-fed animal products (egg yolks, liver), certain cheeses like Gouda and Brie, and fermented foods like natto
- Vitamin K2 is fat-soluble and should be consumed with healthy fats for optimal absorption
