Vitamin K2, not K1, linked to lower prostate cancer risk

A large nine year study that appears in April's American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that an increased intake of vitamin K2 (ascertained by food frequency questionnaires) was associated with a 35 percent risk of prostate cancer, including a 63 percent reduction in advanced prostate cancer risk.

Steve - what's the best way to get a healthy dose of vitamin K2? Supplementing with healthy flora...probiotics. Vitamin K2 is synthesized in the gut by healthy microflora. Another reason to take your probiotics.
