Sources, bioavailability, and metabolism of different forms of vitamin K2: MK9 vs MK4.

When he is 85, his biological age is 33. The “Optimal Phenotype” explained.
Each of the dots represents a real living person. The traced pathways are, therefore, something real and achievable. You can live this life and never be biologically older than 33.
By 74 years of age, a majority of healthy life-long exercises are on statins. This makes their CAC progress faster.

Additional research in this area is needed. Simply dismissing estrogen involvement in postmenopausal breast cancer and being enthusiastic about hormone replacement are not the conclusions that we draw at our current understanding of the problem.
