To lean more about the critical importance of Vitamin K2 in general, and about the 'MenaquinGold' form of K2 in this product specifically, we strongly recommend watching theYouYube videos above
Myomax is a High-dose, 100% soy-free vitamin K2 (MK-7) supplement, with Calcium Pyruvate which with K2 improves mitochondrial function
The K2 is derived from the the pharmaceutical grade MenaQuinGold® in both cases.
Cura Vitamin K2-7+ also contains Vitamin K1, Magnesium and Zinc as cofactors. Myomax does not contain Vitamin K1, Magnesium and Zinc. But it does contain Calcium Pyruvate which together with K2 especially improves mitochondrial function
They are both very similar. Obviously the core nutrient is still the same one, so many of the benefits will be the same. However MyoMax helps is prefereable for those seeking to enhance endurance, sports performance, muscular function, cardiac output support, and improve mitochondrial activity. Cura K2-7 is preferable for those seeking bone remineralisation, blood, and skin support. Because Cura Vitamin K2-7 contains a small amount of Vitamin K1, this one should be avoided by those on blood thinners. For those individuals, Myomax is the only suitable option.
K2-7 & Cardiovascular Function
As the “powerhouse” organ, we heavily depend on our hearts for optimal muscle and body tissue function. Adequate intake of vitamin K2-7 has shown to lower the risk of vascular damage because it activates what is called matrix GLA protein (MGP). MGP prevents calcium from depositing in vessel walls and joint spaces. Vitamin K2-7 is the driver that takes free calcium from the blood, deposits from the arteries, and joint spaces sending it to the bones – thus improving cardiovascular health and bone health. In recent studies, the supplementation of Vitamin K2-7 improved cardiac output by 22% at resting heart rate and 12% at maximum heart rate. This is the definition of performance enhancement. Clinical trials have demonstrated 6-weeks of Vitamin K2-7 supplementation has the ability to increase strength, endurance, cardiovascular, and bone health.
One of the main reasons that aerobic athletic performance declines with age is that the body becomes less effective at utilizing oxygen. The maximal ability to utilize oxygen can be measured by VO2max, an assessment of how much oxygen your body can use per kilogram of body weight. As a result, a high VO2max will indicate that a person can effectively utilize oxygen, which is often seen in well-trained endurance athletes. Unfortunately, after the age of 30, VO2max will begin to decline. For non-athletes, VO2max tends to decline by about 10% every decade. However, athletes who continue their rigorous training can reduce the decline to only 5% every decade. The main reason that VO2max declines with age is because the maximal heart rate (max HR) decreases as well.
Cardiac output = stroke volume x maximal heart rate
Because cardiac output is the product of stroke volume and maximal heart rate, a decrease in max HR will directly decrease cardiac output, and in turn, oxygen delivery to the muscles. This translates to a lower VO2max and decreased athletic endurance with age. Fortunately, vitamin K2 appears to improve cardiac output by maintaining healthy mitochondrial function.
Why is this K2 product so much more expensive than the competition?
K2 is a very unstable compound. According to the manufacturers if you were to test most brands of K2 / K2-7 that are sitting on the shelf they would not have the same potency as declared on the label. The label is always correct at time of manufacture, but not after 6 months or longer. However MenaquinGold™ in Myomax is the most shelf stable form of K2-7 available and will hold its declared potency for much longer than any other variants. We do sell other K2 products which are less expensive, but in all honesty, if you can afford it, you should take your K2 in this form, and is the one the company director takes.
