Vitamin D3 & K2: The perfect synergy for your health

Why Vitamin D3 & K2 are essential

Vitamin D3 and K2 are two essential nutrients that are closely related and play a crucial role in bone, immune and cardiovascular health . Although they are found in some foods, many people are deficient in vitamin D3 - especially in the winter months. However, optimal vitamin D levels alone are not enough: without sufficient vitamin K2, calcium cannot be properly utilized.

The functions of vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. It performs numerous functions in the body, including:

• Supports calcium absorption : Vitamin D3 increases the absorption of calcium from food and thus contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.[1]

• Strengthening the immune system : Vitamin D3 plays an important role in the normal functioning of the immune system.[2]

• Muscle and cell health : Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function and supports numerous metabolic processes.[3]

Why Vitamin K2 is Essential

Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) is an often underestimated nutrient that plays a crucial role in the distribution of calcium in the body:

• Preventing calcium deposits : Without vitamin K2, calcium can remain in the blood vessels instead of being stored in the bones.[4]

• Supports heart health : By keeping calcium out of the arteries, vitamin K2 contributes to healthy blood vessels.[5]

• Optimal synergy with vitamin D3 : Vitamin K2 ensures that the calcium absorbed through vitamin D3 gets to where it is needed.[6]

Why a deficiency is problematic

A lack of vitamin D3 can result in fatigue, muscle weakness and a weakened immune system . In the long term, it can affect bone health. If vitamin K2 is also lacking, calcium can be deposited in undesirable places, which can put strain on the blood vessels.
