00:00We often hear about calcium and vitamin D, but did you know vitamin K2 could be the missing link for your bones and heart?

00:07This essential nutrient plays a crucial role in your overall health, especially for your bones and heart.

00:14Vitamin K2 is a lesser-known nutrient.

00:17It helps direct calcium where it belongs, into your bones, not your arteries.

00:22Understanding this can transform how you approach your well-being.

00:26First, let's look at how K2 supports your bones.

00:46This action is vital for your heart health and overall circulation.

00:50Now, where can you find vitamin K2?

00:53You'll discover it in foods like natto, cheese, egg yolks, and chicken.

00:57Fermented foods are especially rich sources of this crucial nutrient.

01:02To boost your health, balance matters.

01:05Pairing vitamin K2 with calcium and vitamin D creates a powerful trio for your bone and heart health.

01:12This combination is beneficial for optimizing nutrient absorption.

01:15Even small daily changes can have a big impact on how you move and feel.

01:21For example, adding more K2-rich foods to your diet can enhance your well-being.
