    Deficiencies in Vitamin K2 or Vitamin D Associated with Poor COVID-19 Outcomes

    Findings will inform further investigations and implications for inflammation among COVID-19 patients, researchers said.

    Kappa Bioscience, a supplier of vitamin K2 as MK-7 ingredients which has supported several studies on K2, recently announced the completion of a clinical study slated for publication which showed that in COVID-19 patients, deficiencies in either vitamin K2 or vitamin D independently correlated with worse outcomes. The results of the study will be presented at the upcoming NBJ Summit, which will feature immune health as one of its key themes.
     
    “The research field is now changing,” Dr. Grace McComsey, physician and infectious disease specialist, and lead author of the study, said. “We are still worried about acute COVID, but there is also a lot of interest in what happens after COVID. You probably heard of something called long haulers, whose COVID symptoms can last for months. I am now doing a study looking to see if vitamins K2 and D may help, and if there is an association, through inflammation especially.”
     
    “Research shows that if you’re deficient in vitamin D, or deficient in vitamin K2, you have an increased risk of catching COVID, and you have an increased risk of having a severe outcome if you’re deficient in both of those nutrients,” Dr. Andrew Myers, naturopathic physician, CEO and chief science officer of Nutragenetics, who plays a role in coordinating Kappa US research, said. “Vitamins D and K2 have synergistic benefits in terms of helping to diminish the inflammatory response to COVID, and helping the body to maintain its health and function.
     
    McComsey and Myers recently co-authored Simplifying the COVID puzzle: how two essential vitamins fortify the immune system, which reached a number-one rank in Amazon’s Vitamins and Supplements Category.
     
    “The many studies on vitamins D and K published during the pandemic represent new knowledge that has to be spread,” McComsey continued. “Many of us know the key roles played by vitamin D, but K2 benefits remain overlooked. I believe vitamin K2 is a 21st century ingredient. I am eager to continue engaging in the exciting new discoveries made regarding vitamin K2.”
