Vitamin K2 also plays a role in keeping your heart healthy. “Vitamin K2 helps prevent calcium buildup in the arteries, reducing arterial stiffness and lowering the risk of heart disease,” says Davis. When arteries become less flexible, it makes it harder for blood to flow easily, thus increasing the risk of heart-related issues, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and even heart failure. “Studies suggest that adequate K2 intake is linked to better cardiovascular outcomes over time,” says Davis.

...I had read that Vitamin K2 M7 (not other forms of K2s) help to deposit more calcium in bones versus the cardiovascular system. This is in the context of adequate intake of Vitamin D3 and calcium. People in the northern part of the US , especially New England have inadequate exposure to sunshine (from OCT to APR) to produce enough endogenous Vitamin D.
