Vitamin D3 with K2

Vitamin D3 is often referred to as the "longevity hormone" as it influences our immune system, metabolic health, mood, hormones, and helps to prevent cancers. New research is focusing on the synergistic relationship between vitamin K2 and vitamin D3, for bone and cardiovascular health. A group of naturally occurring and structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K is essential for the proper utilization of calcium. Through its activation of the protein osteocalcin, vitamin K helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the mineral matrix in bone. In addition, vitamin K has been found to help maintain bone mineral density by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, a cell that breaks down the bone matrix. Vitamin K also provides critical cardiovascular protection by helping to inhibit calcium from being deposited into the arteries. Thus, vitamin K and vitamin D not only share similar qualities, but they also act synergistically within the body. Vitamin D3 With K2 includes 45 mcg of M
