In today’s episode of Daily Value, we explore the possibly underappreciated role of vitamin K in brain health and neuroprotection. Recent research (doi: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1396707) reveals a connection between dietary vitamin K intake and reduced levels of neurofilament light chain, a potential biomarker for neurodegeneration, particularly in middle-aged and older adults. We’ll discuss how vitamin K supports neuronal function, what specific forms of vitamin K are most important, and how this nutrient might help slow cognitive decline as we age.
Episode Talking Points:
*The role of neurofilament light chain as a biomarker for brain health and its association with neurodegeneration.
*Findings from a recent study (doi: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1396707) showing how higher vitamin K intake (and a specific amount) is linked to lower neurofilament light chain levels.
*The potential of vitamin K, and possibly MK-4, to protect neurons through mechanisms like sphingolipid metabolism and anti-inflammatory effects.
