Stroke is often caused by calcium build-up in the main carotid artery. To avoid extra calcium from food or supplements not being utilized by the bones and forming plaque in our arteries, it is important to take Vitamin K on a daily basis.
Vitamin K helps the calcium bond to the bone, where it is needed most. Therefore, lowering the risk of calcuim build-up in the arteries.
Another important thing to remember is to be sure that any calcium supplements are taken only with magnesium, preferable in a 2 to 1 ratio. Magnesium helps the body to absorb the calcium more efficiently.
Also, avoid calcium carbonate (or Tums). Carbonate is not easily absorbed, and other forms of calcium like citrate are better overall.
