Are you taking calcium or vitamin D? This book could save your life!

Learn the secret to avoiding osteoporosis and heart disease.

Millions of people take vitamin D and calcium supplements for bone health. New research shows that this actually increases the risk of heart attack and stroke because the added calcium builds up in arteries--the calcium paradox. The secret to keeping bones strong and arteries clear is vitamin K2, a little-known supernutrient that humans once thrived on and that has been ignored by scientists for almost 70 years.

Inside this book, you'll find:

How consumption of grass-fed animals traditionally provided us with ample quantities of vitamin K2--while grain-based animal feed contributed to the eradication of vitamin K2 in our modern diet

How K2 is the most important anti-aging nutrient for fighting wrinkles, Alzheimer's, heart disease, osteoporosis and more

The health benefits K2 promotes for straight, cavity-free teeth and strong bones in children

Which delicious "sinful" foods are brimming with heart-healthy K2

Ways you can safely get the most benefit from your calcium and vitamin D supplements

Also available as an e-book through online retailers.
