| Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) Menaquinone-4 (MK-4), a subtype of vitamin K2 Helps blood clot, calcium metabolise and heart health. Bone health: Vitamin K2 helps to regulate calcium levels in the body, which can help to prevent conditions such as osteoporosis and fractures. Vitamin K2 has been studied for its potential role in cancer prevention and treatment. Some of the key findings include: -Shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, including those found in leukemia, lung cancer, and prostate cancer. -Shown to induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells, which can help to prevent the spread of cancer. -Shown to have anti-angiogenic effects, which means it can help to prevent the formation of new blood vessels that feed cancer cells. -Synergistic effects with other nutrients, such as vitamin D and calcium, to enhance its anti-cancer effects. UBIAD1 is the enzyme that makes MK-4 inside tissues Vitamin K2 exists in several forms known as menaquinones, with MK-4 and MK-7 being the most studied. MK-4 is often used in Japan for therapeutic purposes, whereas MK-7 (derived from bacterial fermentation) is widely available as a supplement in Western countries. For bone and cardiovascular health—and by extension, exploring potential anticancer benefits—doses for MK-7 commonly range from 90 to 200 micrograms per day. |

| P-glycoprotein (P-gp), also known as multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), is a membrane protein that plays a crucial role in the transport of various substances across cellular membranes. It is part of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family. P-glycoprotein is often overexpressed in a variety of cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, and ovarian cancer. - The overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), is widely considered as an important reason for the MDR (multidrug resistance). ABCB1 - ATP-Binding Cassette Subfamily B Member 1 / P-Glycoprotein Abbreviation: ABCB1, P-gp, P-glycoprotein, MDR1 Type: ATP-dependent membrane efflux transporter / multidrug resistance protein Function: ABCB1 encodes P-glycoprotein, an ATP-binding cassette transporter that exports a broad range of drugs, xenobiotics, lipids, and other substrates across cellular membranes. It is highly expressed in barrier tissues including the intestine, liver, kidney, placenta, and blood-brain barrier, where it limits tissue accumulation of potentially harmful compounds. Cancer: ↑ Frequently overexpressed or functionally activated in drug-resistant tumors. Increased ABCB1 lowers intracellular concentrations of many anticancer agents by actively transporting them out of cancer cells, producing multidrug resistance and reducing chemotherapy effectiveness. Alzheimer's Disease: ↓ Reduced ABCB1/P-glycoprotein expression or transport activity at the blood-brain barrier is associated with impaired amyloid-β clearance from the brain. Lower P-gp function correlates with increased cerebral Aβ accumulation and may contribute to Alzheimer's disease progression. |
