What are vitamins D3 and K2 good for?
Vitamin D3 belongs to the group of D vitamins. The effect of vitamin D3 plays an important role in bone maintenance . It supports the absorption of calcium in the intestine[1,2].
For NOW Vitamin D3 K2 capsules, vitamin K2 is used as menaquinone-4 (MK-4) . Vitamin K2 (also known as menaquinone) is important for calcium metabolism and ensures that calcium is transported and incorporated into the bones[3].
Why is vitamin D3 combined with K2?
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 are often combined because a potential synergy between the two nutrients is assumed.[4] Vitamin D3 is responsible for calcium absorption from the intestine and therefore increases the calcium level in the blood. In order for the calcium to be transported to the bones and incorporated there, the body needs vitamin K2. Too high a concentration of calcium in the blood can lead to various consequences.
In addition to Now Foods Vitamin D3K2 capsules, you can also find Now Foods Vitamin D3 K2 Spray in our store.
