Vitamin K2 activates Osteocalcin, which drives calcium into bone and prevents osteoporosis and osteopenia. Eggs help prevent the arterial calcification that underlies much cardiovascular disease by supplying vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 keeps calcium in bones and out of arteries and joints, strengthening bones.
