Vitamin K2 (Part 6): Osteocalcin & Diabetes - Another K2 Story? - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

The science is full of relationships between osteocalcin and diabetes. Osteocalcin is critical to bone growth and autophagy. It also appears to increase insulin sensitivity. And remember that vitamin K2 is required to activate osteocalcin through the process of carboxylation. Does this mean vitamin K2 deficiency can create insulin resistance? I don't know, but it's an interesting thought.
