- Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) is a K2-dependent protein that actively inhibits calcium deposition inside arterial walls. — The #1 Cause of Arterial Stiffness (Hypertension)
- MGP is entirely dependent on Vitamin K2 for activation and cannot function without it. — Arteries Calcifying and Turning into Bone
- Matrix Gla Protein keeps calcium bound to bone rather than allowing it to deposit in soft tissue. — Arteries Calcifying and Turning into Bone
- When K2 is insufficient, MGP remains inactive and cannot clear calcium from arteries, leading to progressive vascular calcification. — The #1 Cause of Arterial Stiffness (Hypertension)
- There are over 3,500 published research papers on Vitamin K2's role in directing calcium away from soft tissue. — Arteries Calcifying and Turning into Bone
