NaturesPlus Vitamin D3 1000 IU & K2 100 mcg - 90 Vegetarian Capsules

What is the D3 and K2 vitamin combination?

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone) are two fat-soluble nutrients that work synergistically to optimize calcium metabolism in the body. While vitamin D3 promotes calcium absorption in the intestines, vitamin K2 helps direct that calcium to the bones and teeth, preventing its deposit in soft tissues. This combination is especially valued by those seeking to maintain healthy bone structure and adequate calcium balance.

The NaturesPlus supplement provides 1000 IU of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 per capsule, in a vegetarian and gluten-free formula, suitable for a wide variety of diets.

Health Benefits

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamins D and K contribute to the following benefits:

• Calcium absorption: Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• Blood calcium levels: Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels.
• Normal bones: Vitamin D and vitamin K contribute to the maintenance of bones under normal conditions.
• Blood clotting: Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting.
• Immune system: Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Why combine vitamin D3 and K2?

The main reason is that vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption, but does not regulate its final destination. Vitamin K2 activates proteins that are responsible for fixing calcium in the bone matrix, preventing it from accumulating in arteries and other tissues. This complementary action makes the D3+K2 combination a common choice for those who want complete support for bone and cardiovascular health.
