Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2 is a food supplement in vegetable capsules made from vitamin D3 from lichen and vitamin K2 menaquinone-7 extracted from natto.
Both vitamin D and vitamin K are nutritionally essential, in the case of vitamin D3 when skin exposure to UV radiation from the sun is insufficient.
Why take Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K 100mcg/100mcg?
Because they are essential vitamins, and in cases of insufficient synthesis (such as the winter months for vitamin D), their supply through the diet is required.
Osteoporosis, a problem that can't be corrected with calcium alone.
More than 43.9% of the adult population suffers from osteopenia (the stepping stone to the development of osteoporosis), a condition that dramatically increases their risk of fractures (Wright et al., 2016).
In fact, osteoporosis is the leading underlying cause of bone fractures in the world, and in older people it is a risk factor that increases the risk of mortality.
Do vitamin D and vitamin K also play a role in bone metabolism?
Vitamin D3: Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, contributing to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
Vitamin K: Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and the protection of cells against oxidative stress.
