KRAKOW, Poland—The International Science and Health Foundation will launch its educational portal VitaminK2.org as a credible and reliable source of the latest research on the properties of vitamin K2.

“We have observed a robust body of clinical evidence highlighting the benefits of vitamin K2 for human health, particularly in the areas of bone and cardiovascular health," said Katarzyna Maresz, Ph.D., the foundation’s president and one of its scientific advisors. “We have also seen alarming research showing that most Western populations are deficient in this vital nutrient. To that end, we created a website where visitors to have the opportunity to consciously counteract the negative changes in the skeletal system and the circulatory system by providing them insight on the latest science, as well as interesting articles and tips for a healthy lifestyle."

VitaminK2.org is the latest effort and a natural progression in the foundation’s main objective of health education through the promotion of social and scientific projects, such as its pregnancy portal, fertility portal, paternity portal and krill/omega-3 portal.

Previous research has demonstrated the association of high dietary vitamin K2 consumption with reduction of coronary calcification in humans.
