Calcium, D3 + K2 / 90 Caps
Calcium, 1000 iu of vitamin D3 and K2 drawn from an entirely natural source, to strengthen immunity and speed recovery processes — from ALLNUTRITION.
Better together.
New research shows that vitamins D3 and K2 — two key nutrients for the effective use of calcium in the body — may have an even more beneficial effect when taken together.
ALLNUTRITION Calcium, D3 + K2 offers these allies for bone and heart health in a convenient once-daily vegetarian capsule.
Vitamin D helps build strong bones by increasing the body's absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
As a supplement it is available as ergocalciferol (D2) or cholecalciferol (D3).
Studies show that D3 may be the more potent and longer-acting form, and the one the body prefers.
Similarly, vitamin K occurs as K1 and K2.
K2 is particularly significant for bone and cardiovascular health, since it helps direct calcium from the arteries to the bones.
K2 is made up of a number of menaquinones, of which menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the most efficiently absorbed and bioavailable.
The new understanding of the interaction between vitamins D and K suggests that vitamin D raises the concentration of the bone proteins that rely on vitamin K for healthy bone formation, and in turn the basic mineralisation stimulated by vitamin K can be positively influenced by the presence of vitamin D.
ALLNUTRITION Calcium, D3 + K2 provides 1000 iu of vegetarian D3 sourced from lichen and 100 µg of K2 sourced from soya-free chickpea, as MK-7, in a once-daily vegetarian capsule, to support cardiovascular health and encourage strong, healthy bones.
