The game is now changing for your health!
Vitamin D3 is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, for the overall health of bones, teeth and muscles as well as for boosting the immune system. An adequate intake of vitamin D3 contributes to the prevention of osteoporosis, helps towards a well functioning nervous system, reduces the symptoms of a number of dermatological conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis and makes a great ally in fighting off common colds.
Vitamin K
At the start of the previous century vitamin K was known solely for the role that it plays in blood clotting. Since then however, further research has taken place and it has shown that the vitamin K family has much more to offer.
Vitamin K forms
The main forms of vitamin K are vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone).
- Vitamin K1
Vitamin K1 can be found mainly in vegetables and it goes directly to the liver. Its main property is the function of blood clotting.
- Vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 or menaquinone is produced by intestinal bacteria. It is quickly excreted and therefore cannot be absorbed very easily. It is a fat soluble vitamin that can’t be stored in the human body and needs to be received from food.
K2 and calcium
Vitamin K2 activates two significant proteins (osteocalcin and matrix GLA), which function as a “traffic controller” for calcium as they direct it to the bones instead of the blood vessels, activating in this way the proteins that are essential for bone growth. It also plays an important part in the process of blood clotting and it is considered necessary for the proper function of the proteins that it is composed by. A person with a calcium deficiency is very possible to develop osteoporosis at some point. And although this person has a calcium deficiency in their bones, the calcium content in their vessels is surprisingly high. This phenomenon is known as the calcium paradox.
Extra quantity of calcium in the vessels can lead to calcification. This is a condition that hardens the vessel walls and makes them become rigid, which can lead to arteriosclerosis as well as to cardiovascular problems. K2 invades the vessels, reduces the superfluous calcium and sends the calcium right to where it is mostly needed, which of course are the bones!
Studies on vitamin K2
A number of studies have proven the value of vitamin K2 and its multiple benefits to our health. In comparison to K1, K2 is regarded as extremely beneficial for the overall health of a person as it actively protects the bones while it can prevent arteriosclerosis. A regular vessel function is of great importance for a healthy heart and it can also prevent strokes.
A study conducted by the University of Rotterdam showed that people who receive a daily intake of 30mg of vitamin K2 have a reduced risk of heart related mortality by 50%.
Moreover, for every 10mg of extra intake of the vitamin, there is 9% less chance of developing coronary heart disease.
For all these reasons, the Vitamin D3 1000iu+Vitamin K2 100mg is the ultimate solution for the prevention and treatment of conditions related to the bones, skin, cardiovascular and immune systems.
