Vitamin K2 to Promote Midface Growth

Airway Centered Expert in Lynnwood near Bothell, Mill Creek, Brier, and Mountlake Terrace

Our modern diet does us no favors when it comes to the effects of sleep apnea. As part of my facial growth treatment, I prescribe Vitamin K2 to promote bone growth and dental health. Before modern Western menus, food preparation and food preferences developed over time, Vitamin K2 was a commonly found in the primitive diet. Organ meat like liver and kidneys are rich sources of K2, but in the modern Western diet, these foods are not commonly served. Most people only seek out K2 these days because they learn they have a deficiency and, they treat that deficiency with supplements.

A lack of Vitamin K2 through the developmental years may contribute to the jaw, and subsequently the airway, not developing fully. An underdeveloped airway is often a key reason why a person develops sleep apnea. And, with sleep apnea, a large range of diseases and disorders can begin to take effect.
