Nutrients | Scientific Evidence for Health Impact |
Vitamin C | Recently many studies have indicated the benefit of high levels of AA to maintain the brain, bones, and heart, reduce damage from stroke, brain trauma, and cataracts, and lower the risk of cancer metastasis and colds [31] . |
Vitamin K | Aortic stenosis is a common but fatal disease when it becomes symptomatic, specially if not treated... The investigators hypothesize that MK-7 supplementation may slow or even reverse the progression of the disease process [32] . |
