The Workings Of Antiaging Vitamin K

The aging process is basically that time and elements breakdown, and cause inflammation of, cells and tissue causing organs – including the skin – to break down over time.

A hormone called Interleukin-6 or IL6 has been found to be the cause of this inflammation. Your body, as it ages, will produce ever increasing amounts of this biochemical agent which will proceed to inflame the cells, tissue and organs with the result of aging the body. This aging process makes the body more susceptible to disease such as arthritis, heart disease etc. That is why we associate these illnesses with getting old. Vitamin K is now widely used in treating blood pressure, stroke, Alzheimers disease and osteoporosis. Results have been extremely encouraging due to the fact that it has both anti-oxidant properties along with its ability to block the IL-6 hormone. This is an interesting and exciting time to be working with vitamin K and many scientists are rediscovering the vitamin and its medical uses as well as discovering that it works wonders as an antiaging vitamin.
