[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 860148, member: 160246"] Totally forgot about vitamin K2... [SIZE=5][B]VITAMIN K2 AND INSULIN REGULATION[/B][/SIZE] The fact that some of the highest levels of vitamin K are stored in the pancreas has lead to the idea that it may also be a necessary part of controlling blood sugar levels. Japanese scientists did study the link between vitamin K and insulin function in the body and, while it was an animal study, what occurred with vitamin K deficiency mimicked what occurs with diabetics. That is that the deficiency in vitamin K interferes with the clearance of glucose from the blood and then stimulates an excessive insulin release. (Sakamoto N, et al. 1999. Low vitamin K intake effects on glucose tolerance in rats. Int J Vit Nutr Res 69:27-31) A small scale human study, done in 2011, concluded: “To summarize, we have demonstrated for the first time that vitamin K2 supplementation for 4 weeks increased insulin sensitivity in healthy young men.” ([URL='http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/34/9/e147.full'][U]Hyung Jin Choi, MD, et al; “Vitamin K2 Supplementation Improves Insulin Sensitivity via Osteocalcin Metabolism: A Placebo-Controlled Trial”; Diabetes Care September 2011 vol. 34 no. 9 e147[/U][/URL]) Read entire blog post here...
