No. It’s actually quite the opposite! Vit K2 deficiency has been linked to high blood pressure and stiffer arteries (20). Vit K2 activates matrix Gla protein that helps to ensure that calcium is transported to bones. By reducing the calcification of blood vessel walls which can lead to arterial stiffness, it reduces the strain on the heart to pump more and increase blood pressure. Several studies only prove to confirm the positive effect Vik K2 has on the cardiovascular health of the body (21), (22).
