Vitamins D3 & K2 (Item #112)

The human skin produces vitamin D3 from UV-B radiation from sunlight, however, when synthesis from sunlight is insufficient, the body relies on dietary intake of this nutrient. Natural Vitamin D can only be found in small amounts in just a few foods, and Vitamin D deficiency has become more recognized. Vitamin D is necessary for bone, immune, brain, cardiovascular health and more. Vitamin K also plays a major role in bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin K2 helps to support vascular and bone health. Vitamin K2 is the most biologically active form of vitamin K for bone health. Vitamin K2 consists of different vitamin subtypes called menaquinones with side chains that vary in length and composition resulting in different absorption. MK-7 has been well-studied and shown to have the a high vitamin K activity. Because good dietary sources of K2 are limited, and the conversion of K1 to K2 in the intestine can be insufficient, poor vitamin K2 status is common and can contribute to weak bones and cardiovascular concerns. Our D3 & K2 combination product is designed to support bone, immune, cardiovascular health and more.
