Vitamin D is a vital substance for humans. It is not usually obtained from food, but mainly from sunlight, which is why vitamin D is also known as the sun vitamin. When absorbed through the skin, vitamin D takes on the role of a prohormone with numerous functions in the body.
It has been proven that vitamin D
- promotes a normal calcium level in the blood
- supports the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function
- performs a function in cell division
- ensures normal function of the immune system and normal teeth
Vitamin K is also one of the essential components that we usually take in with our food. In combination with vitamin D, it is essential for the maintenance of normal bones and also ensures normal blood clotting.
What can I expect from vitamin D3 plus K2?
Studies have shown that the local population has a poor supply of vitamin D. Unfavorable longitudes and latitudes and, in this context, unfavorable sunshine with too few hours of sunshine make sufficient intake difficult. In addition, too few hours in the sun due to a clothed everyday life in rooms make a full supply of vitamin D almost impossible, even in sunny months. As only small amounts of vitamin D can be obtained from certain animal foods, the use of a supplement such as vitamin D3 plus K2 is a perfect way to close supply gaps. Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work hand in hand and are present in this product in a highly bioavailable form as vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK-7).
Functionality and mode of action of vitamin D3 plus K2
It is now known that there are almost 50 tissues in the human body that are equipped with a receptor for vitamin D. If a receptor is present, this means that vitamin D is able to mediate certain effects on all these tissues in its form as the prohormone "25-D". This fact means that a sufficient supply of vitamin D can now be shown to have a number of positive effects on the human body. It not only contributes to the maintenance of normal calcium levels, normal bones and normal muscle function, but also promotes the functionality of the immune system, supports the maintenance of healthy teeth and has an independent function in cell division.
In addition to vitamin D, vitamin K also plays an important role in bone metabolism. Where there is a lack of vitamin K, vitamin D is not able to distribute calcium stocks to the bones in a sensible way, which stands in the way of maintaining healthy bones. For this reason, combined administration, as with vitamin D3 plus K2, appears to be extremely sensible, especially as both are present here in their most effective form as vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK-7).
