A high-quality formula providing the most bioactive, highly absorbable forms of vitamins K and D in their ideal ratio. Each softgel contains 120 mcg of vitamin K2 (menaquinone/MK-7), derived from fermented soybean seeds, and 1000 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), derived from lanolin, a substance extracted from sheep wool. K2 and D3 therapy helps protect against bone loss and calcium deposits in coronary arteries.
The main benefit of the K2 and D3 duo affects the bone and cardiovascular system, helping to accumulate calcium in the bones instead of in the blood vessels. This key effect of K2 and D3 plays a vital role in the prevention of some of the most common diseases – osteoporosis and atherosclerosis.
Role of calcium and vitamin K2
Why does improper osteoporosis prevention lead to atherosclerosis?
Osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases worldwide - according to statistics, it affects over 70 million people in Europe, the USA and Japan.
The most common fractures of osteoporosis are those of the hip, wrist, and spine. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of hip fractures increased by almost 25% worldwide. By 2050, the risk of hip fractures is expected to increase by 240% for men and 310% for women. A hip fracture can have serious consequences, including disability in older adults.
It has been proven that good prevention in the early years of life reduces the risk of bone loss and weakening of bone density and strength by over 75%!
What does prevention consist of? First of all, an essential part of it is a complete diet, as well as the additional intake of certain nutrients, among which the most important is vitamin K2 and its natural, super bioavailable form – MK-7.
Vitamin K is a collective name for fat-soluble substances from the naphthoquinone group, necessary for blood clotting and the binding of calcium in bones and other tissues. It exists in three main forms – K1, K2 and K3.
The subtype of vitamin K2, menaquinone-7 (MK-7), is characterized by optimal absorption, the longest duration of action after ingestion, and the most significant effect on bone and blood vessel health. MK-7 is found in relatively few foods, with its best sources being fermented products and the traditional Japanese food natto, made from fermented soybean seeds.
Vitamin K2 plays a vital role in the proper functioning of calcium metabolism. A deficiency of K2 prevents optimal absorption of calcium from the bones and leads to the accumulation of calcium in the heart and blood vessel walls. This, in turn, causes damage to the vessels.
The conclusion is that oversaturating the body with calcium not only does not lead to an increase in bone density, but damages blood vessels and the heart muscle. This is also confirmed by official data from the World Health Organization, which shows that osteoporosis is most common in regions of the world where calcium consumption is highest. This phenomenon is known as the “calcium paradox.”
How does vitamin K2 help? It prevents the atherosclerotic effect of calcium, stimulates the removal of some of it from the walls of the arteries, and contributes to its incorporation into the composition of bones and teeth.
Role of vitamin D3
The benefits of D3 (cholecalciferol) for bone health are well known. This vitamin is important for the deposition of calcium in bone tissue and dentin, as well as for bone mineralization. It is also essential for the absorption of calcium from food - vitamin D promotes this process, so its optimal levels in the body determine how much calcium can be absorbed from the diet.
In combination, vitamins K2 and D3 strengthen bones, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, and strengthen tooth enamel, helping to store important minerals in the teeth. Adequate intake of K2 in the body is also an indispensable part of the prevention and treatment of coronary calcinosis and atherosclerosis.
Method of administration:
1 softgel capsule daily.
