# Vitamin D3 + K2

SKU: VN-VK2D

## Description

• Synergistic support for bone health\*

• Promotes healthy calcium metabolism\*

• Helps maintain cardiovascular health\*

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and Vitamin K2-7 (menaquinone) work synergistically to help maintain bone health.\* Vitamin D3 helps maintain healthy serum calcium levels by promoting intestinal absorption and reducing urinary excretion of calcium. Vitamin K2-7 supports healthy bone mineralization by acting as a cofactor in the carboxylation of osteocalcin, allowing calcium to bind to this protein in the extracellular matrix of bone.\*

Vitamin K2-7 also supports healthy cardiac and vascular function.\* This form of Vitamin K concentrates in the tissues of the arteries, where it aids in carboxylation of Matrix Gla Protein to help maintain normal calcium metabolism and support healthy vascular elasticity.\* Additionally vitamin K2 may help support healthy lipid levels and glucose metabolism.\*

Although frank vitamin K deficiency is rare, research suggests the Western diet may not contain sufficient Vitamin K2-7 to optimize carboxylation of Gla outside the liver.\* Higher dietary intakes of K2 have been associated with healthy levels of arterial calcification and elasticity.\*

Compared to other forms of Vitamin K, Vitamin K2-7 has a longer half-life, resulting in more stable levels in the body.\* For best absorption of these fat soluble vitamins, take with a mixed meal or some healthy dietary fat.\*
