Why vitamin D is important
Vitamin D is one of the fat-soluble vitamins and occurs in foods as cholecalciferol (D3) and as ergocalciferol (D2). While vitamin D3 occurs in animal products and is produced by the body with the help of sunlight, vitamin D2 is contained in plant products and is not utilized quite as well as the D3 vitamin. Although our body can produce it itself, it often produces too little vitamin D to meet its needs, even on sunny days in summer. Those who spend most of their time in closed rooms and are not exposed to direct sunlight usually even suffer from one Vitamin D deficiency. The vitamin is essential for building bones and teeth. But it also helps in the formation of calcium, vitamin A and phosphorus and serves to strengthen the immune system and promote a positive mood. Even with the support of the muscle function of vitamin D plays an important role.
Vitamin D and K2 as a coordinated team
If you regularly use dietary supplements with vitamin D to counteract a deficiency, you should also take vitamin K2, as the vitamin D intake results in an increased vitamin K2 requirement. This has the task of activating the so-called Gla proteins, which the body increasingly produces in order to be able to better transport calcium absorbed through food.
The more vitamin D is supplied to the body, the more calcium it can absorb from food and the more proteins it produces. At the same time, more vitamin K2 is required to ensure proper calcium transport and to counteract calcium breakdown. Because only with the help of vitamin K2 can the Gla proteins be activated, which bind the calcium to the proteins and then transport them to exactly where they are needed, namely to the bones and teeth. At the same time, vitamin K2 prevents calcium from being stored in the arteries and other soft tissues in the body. For example, taking it also counteracts hardening of the arteries.
The vitamins D3 and K2 are an unbeatable team that complemented each other in order to strengthen both the bone and also to support heart health. As a combination product in capsule form, they are an effective dietary supplement that can promote health and wellbeing.
Note: If you take anti-coagulant drugs (anticoagulants), you should definitely consult a doctor before taking the vitamin D and K2 capsules. Taking vitamin K2 can reduce the effects of anti-coagulant drugs based on coumarin (e.g. Marcumar).
