K2 activates osteocalcin (which incorporates calcium into bone matrix) and matrix Gla protein (which prevents calcium deposition in arterial walls).

It combines soy isoflavones (ER-β support for bone and skin), calcium citrate + vitamin D3 + vitamin K2 (bone density preservation with arterial protection), flaxseed lignans (cardiovascular support), and methylfolate (homocysteine management) to address the long-term health consequences of sustained estrogen deficiency in post-menopause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Estera Phase III include vitamin K2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin K2 (MK-7) is essential when supplementing calcium post-menopause. K2 activates osteocalcin — which directs calcium into bone matrix — and matrix Gla protein — which prevents calcium from depositing in arterial walls.
