Vitamin D/K2

Vitamin D is most widely known as the sunshine vitamin because the body can make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.

Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting bone health, maintaining cardiovascular function and immune function, and promoting an overall sense of well-being.

Vitamin D is available in two different forms, D2 and D3. Vitamin D3 is the preferable form as it has been found to maintain vitamin D levels in the body for a longer period when compared to vitamin D2.

Vitamin K has also been shown by a growing body of research to be a critical piece of the puzzle when it comes to bone health.

New research is focusing on the synergistic relationship between vitamin K (specifically, vitamin K2) and vitamin D3, in terms of bone strength and cardiovascular health.

A group of naturally occurring and structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K is essential for the proper utilization of calcium. Through its activation of the protein osteocalcin, vitamin K helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the mineral matrix in bone. In addition, vitamin K has been found to help maintain bone mineral density by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, a cell that breaks down the bone matrix.

Therefore, vitamin K and vitamin D not only share similar qualities, but they also act in synergy within the body.

This formulation is a highly bioavailable liquid vitamin D formulation offering 2,000 IU per 1 ml (one full dropper) with 250 mcg of vitamin K1 and 25 mcg of vitamin K2. This is a convenient, pleasant tasting and easily mixed formula. A natural emulsion technology allows for the production of this formula that quickly and completely disperses in liquid. This cutting-edge technology provides enhanced bioavailability utilizing only naturally derived ingredients that are free of preservatives and synthetic surfactants.

It is widely known that vitamin D deficiency has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, and that it can manifest itself in a myriad of different ways that impact health. In addition, a large proportion of the US population is very deficient in vitamin K intake, emphasizing the importance of adequate supplementation of this critical vitamin.
