little-known Japanese soybean

dish may just be one of the

most nutritious foods on earth.

Among its many properties, it is one

of the best sources for Vitamin K-2,

which supports bone and circulatory

health. Natto is a fermented soybean

food that has been eaten for centuries

in Japan. Its intense smell and gooey

consistency don’t appeal to many west-

erners, but you don’t have to eat a

bowl of natto to obtain its nutritional riches. The bacterium that fer-

ments natto, Bacillus subtilis, is one of the

most potent sources of a powerful form of

vitamin K, called K-2, ever discovered.

VITAMIN K-2 is a supercharged form of

vitamin K. Why supercharged? It has all of

the benefits of vitamin K, but it stays longer

in circulation and is active in a wider num-

ber of organs and tissues. Source Naturals

VITAMIN K-2 is fundamental for strong

bones and a clear circulatory system.

Vitamin K-2Supercharged K-2 From Natto

Revolutionize Your Wellnesswith Vitamin K-2Vitamin K-1, also known as phyllo-quinone, is found in plants. VitaminK-2, called manaquinone (MK) isfound in animals or bacteria.VITAMIN K-2 from Source Naturals ismade from natto bacterium, whichcontains a highly potent vitamin K-2.Compared with vitamin K-1, K-2 hascomparable benefits, but has highercirculation concentrations in morevaried areas of the body. Simply stat-ed, it works harder and it stays atwork longer, in more parts of thebody than K-1.

Healthy Blood Flow,Healthy BonesVitamin K is essential for healthybone formation and repair; it isinvolved in the synthesis of osteocal-cin, the protein in bone tissue uponwhich calcium crystallizes. AsVitamin K helps build bones, it alsoinhibits calcification of the blood ves-sels. This “calcium transport” func-tion thereby removes calciumdeposits from the vessels where theyaren’t needed, and working in con-junction with vitamin D, increasescalcium deposits in the bones, wherecalcium is needed most. Vitamin Kalso plays an important role in theintestines, helping to convert glucoseinto glycogen for storage in the liver.

Legendary Benefits of NattoAccording to Japanese legend, therenowned Prince Shotoku discovered

natto in the early seventh century. Ona trip surveying his vast provinces, hewrapped some leftover cooked soy-beans in a rice straw mat and hungthe bundle in a tree. It fermentedovernight. The prince tasted it—added a bit of salt—and liked theresult, thereby discovering natto, oneof the most nutritious foods in theworld. The nutritive properties are notjust from soy or the fermentationprocess, the key to the bounty ofnutrients is the bacillum in rice straw.Since its discovery by Prince Shotoku,the healthful qualities of natto havebecome mythologized in Japan. It isthe source of a warrior’s power, thesamurai’s resilience—a source oflongevity, vigor, clear-mindedness,and heart health. It is eaten today inJapan as a high-power breakfast food,often served with rice, or eaten prepack-aged for a quick, nutritious lunch.
