Vitamin K2+D3 - 60 caps

Knowledge about the important influence of vitamin K2 and D3 on our health is growing. Vitamin K2 and D3 are therefore increasingly used daily by more and more people, as a supplement to their diet. In Vitals' Vitamin K2+D3, both nutrients are combined because the synergy and overlapping metabolic functions are becoming increasingly clear. A powerful combination! Vitals' Vitamin K2 + D3 consists of vegan softgels with ample dosages of both fat-soluble vitamins, in an MCT oil base. The softgel is made opaque with iron oxide to protect the highly light-sensitive vitamins. Softgels are popular and very pleasant to use because they are easy to swallow. Fortunately, softgels are no longer exclusively made from gelatin today. They are now also available from plant-based sources (such as tapioca starch from cassava). The vitamin D3 in this product, with the brand name Vitamin D3V®, is also plant-based. It is obtained from algae, not from sheep's wool fat (unlike many vitamin D3 products on the market). This makes the product very suitable for vegans. The vitamin K2 is K2Vital® from the Norwegian K2 specialist Kappa Bioscience. As you've come to expect from Vitals, we have exclusively chosen branded ingredients of the highest quality here too! Vitamins K and D work together to get calcium to the right place. Vitamin D stimulates the body's production of certain proteins that depend on vitamin K for their function. These so-called Gla-proteins are activated by vitamin K so that they can then perform their function. Important examples include osteocalcin(1) and Matrix-Gla-protein (MGP)(2). A common characteristic of these vitamin K-dependent Gla-proteins is that they bind calcium. In this way, vitamin K and vitamin D together ensure that calcium from our diet reaches the right places in the body. See Figure 1. 1) Osteocalcin: (also known as 'bone-Gla-protein') is a vitamin K-dependent protein produced in bone and dental tissue and regulates its mineralization. 2) Matrix-Gla-protein: a vitamin K-dependent protein produced in most soft tissues, such as blood vessels, cartilage, kidneys, lungs, and spleen, but also in bone tissue. MGP (like osteocalcin and other Gla-proteins) has a calcium-binding property. Figure 1: Calcium uptake into bones. (Click on the image to enlarge it.) Vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 are the superior forms. Vitamin K1 is mainly absorbed by the liver and activates proteins involved in blood clotting. Vitamin K2, however, is also used outside the liver for the activation of other vitamin K-dependent proteins (such as osteocalcin and MGP). Vitamin K2 (or 'menaquinone') comes in various forms, the most known being MK-4, MK-7, MK-8, and MK-9. According to the current scientific understanding, menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the most effective form of vitamin K2. MK-7 is excellently absorbed and remains in the body for a very long time to be active. The most common forms of vitamin D (calciferol) are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Cholecalciferol is produced by humans in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet light, such as the sun (hence the nickname 'sunshine vitamin'). These forms of vitamin D are converted in the liver into calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D). Calcidiol is converted as needed in the kidneys and other cells and tissues into the biologically active hormone calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). In terms of supplementation, however, it is important to know that vitamin D3 in most cases appears to be more effective than vitamin D2 in increasing calcidiol in the blood and ultimately calcitriol. K2Vital® from Norwegian K2 expert Kappa Bioscience. Vitamin K2 is known to be very unstable in a dietary supplement. In combination with minerals or certain excipients, the vitamin K2 content in a product can rapidly decrease. This is, of course, highly undesirable, as you want to be able to store a supplement for its entire shelf life. The Norwegian manufacturer Kappa Bioscience has developed vitamin K2 raw materials that are proven stable and extremely pure. Kappa Bioscience's vitamin K2 is the first choice for scientists to use in human research on the effects of vitamin K for good reason. Vitals selected Kappa Bioscience as the best vitamin K2 supplier after extensive stability tests with different K2 raw materials in various compositions. Permitted health claims: vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting vitamin K helps ensure that calcium is absorbed into the bones vitamin K is good for maintaining strong bones vitamin D helps ensure that calcium is normally absorbed from food vitamin D contributes to normal blood calcium levels vitamin D contributes to the normal use of calcium by the body vitamin D is good for maintaining strong bones and teeth vitamin D is good for muscles vitamin D contributes to the process of cell renewal vitamin D supports the body's immune system
