Vitamin K2 - Vitamin K is linked to the production of proteins that regulate blood coagulation and calcium metabolism. Vitamin K2 has better absorbability when compared to K1 which is sourced from leafy greens.†
Certain medication, antibiotic use, low-fat diet, fat blocking supplements, liver and GI disease can negatively impact how the body processes and absorbs vitamin K. Low levels of vitamin K can lead to weak bones and immune system.†
Intake of vitamin K can reduce inflammation and joint pain, improve bone quality, and decrease bone fractures.† It can also prevent abnormal bone and cartilage calcification. In other words, vitamin K helps deposits calcium in the right places (bones) and away from undesirable regions (arteries) .
Vitamin D3 - The human skin produces vitamin D when exposed to sunshine, hence it’s referred to as the the ‘sunshine vitamin’. This nutrient is essential in bone health and immune function. It plays a vital role in calcium metabolism in that it increases intestinal calcium absorption .†
Individuals suffer from vitamin D deficiency from lack of sun exposure, in which case it can be sourced from food.†
