VIT K

[Guest guest]

Increased intake of vitamin K1, and to a lesser extend vitamin D,

could protect against inflammation, and positively effect chronic

disease risk, suggests a new observational study.

The study, published on-line in the American Journal of

Epidemiology, adds to in vitro data supporting benefits for the

vitamins against inflammation, brought about by an over-expression or

lack of control of the normal protective mechanism. Chronic

inflammation has been linked to range of conditions linked to heart

disease, osteoporosis, cognitive decline and Alzheimer's, and type-2

diabetes.
