FOOD SUPPLEMENT | MINISTERIAL CODE: 60234
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin capable of conveying the calcium present in the blood, from the vessels, where the accumulation would exert an harmful action towards the bones, where it allows its fixing. Among the various forms of vitamin K2, menaquinone 7, present in K2VAS® as MenaQ7®, is the most active form.
Leucoselect® Phytosome® contains extracts of Vitis Vinifera L. with well-known antioxidant activity and for regulating the functionality of the cardiovascular system. The phytosomal form allows better absorption in the intestine.
Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption/use of calcium and to the maintenance of normal bones.
INGREDIENTS
Food supplement based on vitamin K2 (MenaQ7®), grape seed extract (Leucoselect® Phytosome®) and vitamin D3.
HOW TO USE
It is recommended to take 1 tablet per day with a glass of water. A treatment of at least 3 months is recommended.

Does atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis indicate the same disorder?
Not, these are two different words that describe two distinct conditions.
Arteriosclerosis is not a pathology, but is a progressive reduced elasticity of the arteries due to advancing age.
Atherosclerosis is linked to atheromas, which are deposits of fibrin, cholesterol and calcifications on the intimate wall, in particular, of the large vessels: coronary, carotid, aorta and lower limbs.
This over time can harden and narrow the arteries, thus passing to a lack of oxygen-rich blood flow. Once formed, the atherosclerotic plaque can rupture into a blood clot called thrombus. This can obstruct normal blood flow to a level of the arteries, which leads to serious consequences such as heart attack, stroke, and occlusion of the arteries of the lower limbs.
An irregular diet, cigarette smoking, a sedentary lifestyle are all factors that contribute to the accumulation of lipids and cholesterol in the blood with an increase in the risk of cardiovascular events.
Innovative components for an immediate effect
VITAMIN K2 present as MenaQ7® is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for the correct use of calcium by the body. It allows maintaining healthy bones, arteries and tissues. It is essential in vascular protection processes, since it is able to activate the Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), a protein present at the level of the vessels that prevents calcium circulating in the blood (especially if in excess) from depositing in the form of crystals in the arterial wall and to form/increase, together with cholesterol, atherosclerotic plaques. The MenaQ7®, present in K2VAS, contains vitamin K2 in the form of natural menaquinone 7 obtained from natto; it has proven its effectiveness already at very low doses.
Proanthocyanidolic oligomers (known by the abbreviation OPC) belong to the vast family of bioflavonoids, natural substances with high antioxidant properties at the base of the natural vasoprotective action. Leucoselect® Phytosome® contains low molecular weight OPCs complexed with soy phospholipids in order to increase the absorption and bioavailability of OPCs.
The Mediterranean diet is perfect against atherosclerosis
Is there a proper diet to prevent and counteract the effects of atheroscelrosis? Surely there are some simple rules to follow at the table that, if combined with the regular use of a food supplement like K2VAS®, can lead to excellent results. Large parts of these are the classical rules at the base of the Mediterranean diet:
- Choose vegetable oils, rich in Vitamin E (antioxidant) to animal fats
- Consume lots of fruit and vegetables
- Choose white and lean meats
- Choose fish and vegetables, eggs and cheese
- Limit the consumption of simple sugars and sugary drinks
- Do not use too much salt
- Limit smoking and alcohol
- Do not exceed in the portions
A few simple habits, which can make the difference against atherosclerosis.
