Metagenics Vitamina D3 y K2 10.000 UI con MK-7 – 60 Cápsulas Blandas

What is the vitamin D3 and K2 combination?

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone) are two fat-soluble nutrients that work synergistically to optimize calcium metabolism. While vitamin D3 promotes calcium absorption in the intestine, vitamin K2 helps direct it to bones and teeth, preventing its deposition in the arteries. This combination is especially relevant for those seeking complete support for bone and cardiovascular health.

Health benefits

According to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), the following claims are authorized for vitamin D and vitamin K:

• Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels.
• Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
• Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones.

Metagenics' formula combines 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 with MK-7, a highly bioavailable and long-acting form of vitamin K2, allowing for sustained release. This product is designed for those who require a high intake of vitamin D3, always under professional supervision.

How to choose the best D3 and K2 supplement?

When selecting a vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, it is important to consider the form of vitamin K2. MK-7, derived from soybean fermentation (natto), offers a longer plasma half-life than MK-4, allowing for more convenient and stable dosing. In addition, the softgel capsule presentation is ideal for fat-soluble vitamins, as it improves their absorption when taken with fatty foods.

Recommended dosage

The suggested dose is one softgel capsule daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to optimize absorption. Each capsule provides 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and 45 mcg of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7). This product provides a high amount of vitamin D3; it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before starting its consumption, especially if other supplements or medications are being taken.

Frequently asked questions

Why combine vitamin D3 and K2?

These vitamins act complementarily in calcium metabolism. While D3 facilitates its absorption, K2 ensures that calcium is deposited in the bones and not in soft tissues, such as the arteries. This synergy is key to maintaining optimal bone and cardiovascular health.

Who should take this supplement?

People with low vitamin D levels, those with limited sun exposure, older adults, or those following restricted diets can benefit from this supplement. It is always advisable to perform a prior analysis of vitamin D levels.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
