Summary

Omega-3 fatty acids are notably present in fish oil and krill oil, and are known to have beneficial effects on the vasculature. Vitamin K2 is known for preventing vascular calcification. In this study we investigate a potential synergy between the effects of either fish or krill oil and menaquinone-7, which is one of K2 vitamins.
