The session, entitled “Vitamin K2 Workshop: New Findings & Trends for Heart and Bone Health”, will take place on Friday October 9 from 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. and feature the following speakers:

Dennis Goodman, MD, cardiologist, director of integrative medicine at New York University, and author of Vitamin K2: The Missing Nutrient for Heart and Bone Health, will address Vitamin K2’s impact on heart health and how it is being used in integrative medicine.

John Abernethy, president of Florida-based AMK Research Inc. will discuss Energy & Circulatory Wellness: Vitamin K2 has the ability to ameliorate chronic venous insufficiency, which can address a number of chronic health conditions.

Leon Schurgers, PhD, associate professor of biochemistry at University Maastricht and CARIM (the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht). will address Vitamin K2 as being the key vitamin in controlling vascular calcification, via activation of vitamin K-dependent proteins such as matrix Gla protein.

Katarzyna Maresz, PhD, president of the International Science and Health Foundation, will discuss the essential role Vitamin K2 plays in children’s bone health, specifically how children have the greatest need for K vitamins and that statistics indicate that vitamin K consumption is declining in Western societies.

Vitamin K2 is hot!  And the science behind Vitamin K2 is compelling.  It shows that Vitamin K2 helps:

The body utilize calcium to build healthy bone matrix in kids, adults and the active elderly;
Decrease the age-related decline in bone mineral density and bone mineral content;
Improve age-related stiffening of the arteries.

PLT Health Solutions is proud to support the Vitamin K2 Workshop.  We offer MenaQ7, the first patented Vitamin K2 for heart health.  MenaQ7 is GRAS, Kosher and Halal.  It is ideal for tablets, capsules, foods and beverages.
