Your bones need a lot of nutrients to stay strong throughout your life. Vitamin D and vitamin K are both highly important for building bone tissue and thereby maintaining health.
So instead of taking two different supplements, these two crucial nutrients are collected in one science-backed formula.
Moreover, this formula can also support immune, heart, and brain health.
Why it works?
Some of the most important nutrients for maintaining bone health are vitamin D and K. These two nutrients help you to maintain bone health, even in old age.
The thing is that the older you get, the more fragile your bones can become. That’s why it makes sense adding a combination of vitamin D and K to your diet so that you can keep your bones strong and youthful.
Vitamins D and K are crucial for many aspects of health, including support for arterial health (vitamin K), brain health (vitamin D3), and immune health (vitamin D3).
The vitamin K and vitamin D in this formula have all been scientifically researched in order to meet their optimal dosages. Both in unison and individually, they offer many different health benefits:
Vitamin K1 & vitamin K2
Vitamin K helps inhibit calcium buildup in your arteries while promoting healthy calcium absorption into your bone matrix. Vitamin K1 is the most common form of vitamin K in the diet. It comes primarily from leafy green vegetables. However, there is a catch here as vitamin K1 isn’t well absorbed from these foods.
Vitamin K2 is found in cheese, eggs, and fermented soybeans. It has been shown to be more bioavailable than K1 and to remain active in the body far longer. The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 was demonstrated to stay available in the body for up to 48 hours.
This formula contains both forms of vitamin K.
Vitamin D3
Benefits of vitamin D:
Vitamin D acts like a hormone which turns genes on and off all sorts of cells. This is why your whole body benefits from vitamin D. Some functions of vitamin D are:
- important for normal muscle function
- supports the immune system
- contributes to the process of cell renewal
- contributes to the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the diet
- contributes to normal calcium levels in the blood
- contributes to the maintenance of strong bones
- is important for maintaining strong teeth
Ensure you get enough of these two essential nutrients with Life Extension's Vitamins D & K.
Please note: This vitamin D3 supplement has been reformulated in cooperation with Life Extension in the US to fit European supplementation guidelines, delivering 75 mcg (3000 IU) of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per capsule.
