Generally accepted with some debate
"There's reasonable evidence supporting Vitamin K2's role in bone health and calcium metabolism, particularly in specific populations. Studies suggest benefits, but the effects can be subtle and require consistent intake over time. It's not a dramatic effect, but a worthwhile contribution, especially when paired with Vitamin D3."
Vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to the bones and teeth, where it's needed, and away from soft tissues and arteries, where it's not. This supports bone strength and may have cardiovascular benefits.
