Vital Nutrients K2-7 + D3 Bone and Artery Health Support Vitamins - 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Vitamin D3
Also known as cholecalciferol, this fat soluble vitamin assists the body in absorbing calcium and phosphorus. D3 is produced by the body when exposed to sunlight, but with age, production slows down. Particularly helpful for those with bone disorders, Vitamin D3 assists with building and maintaining stronger bones. Supplementing with D3 reduces calcium excretion and helps with intestinal absorption, resulting in more healthy serum calcium levels. Those who have conditions such as rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, hypothyroidism, and kidney disease can use D3 as a supplement to help boost calcium absorption.

Vitamin K2-7
Also known as menaquinone, vitamin K2-7 supports the cardiac and vascular systems as well as helps fortify and maintain bone health. Because Western diets lack K2-7, aging patients are encouraged to supplement in order to promote healthy levels of arterial calcification. By assisting with the processing of Matrix gla protein, K2-7 helps maintain proper calcium metabolism levels. This reaction encourages healthier vascular elasticity. The vitamin also keeps lipids at a healthy level and promotes normal insulin sensitivity. Similar to Vitamin K, Vitamin K2-7 has a longer half-life, producing more stable levels in the body. Vitamin K2-7 is absorbed in dietary fat, so taking Vital Nutrients K2-7 + D3 foods high in fat content helps with absorption.

K2-7 + D3 Dosage
Take 1 capsule per day with food to optimize absorption, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Because these vitamins are fat soluble, they should be taken with a meal of mixed healthy foods or with food that is high in fat.
