NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 & K-2 1000IU Vege

NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 & K-2 is a comprehensive dietary supplement that provides a synergistic combination of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7). Both of these vitamins play a key role in the maintenance of bone, cardiovascular and immune system health. Vitamin D3 helps with the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, supporting bone and tooth health, as well as supporting immune system function. Vitamin K2 (in the form of MK-7, derived from natto), on the other hand , plays an important role in redirecting calcium to the bones and prevents calcium build-up in the arteries, which supports cardiovascular health.

Key active ingredients

• Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) - 1000 IU (25 mcg) (500% of RWS*)
• Vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7, MK-7 from natto) - 45 mcg (37% of RWS*)
  
  • Role in the body: Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and helps maintain normal bone structure. Vitamin K2 (MK-7) supports the redirection of calcium into the bones, preventing its accumulation in the arteries, which promotes cardiovascular health.

Health benefits of vitamin D3 and K2 supplementation

✅ Bone and teeth health: Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the diet, which is key to maintaining healthy and strong bones and teeth. Vitamin K2 (MK-7), on the other hand, helps direct calcium to where it is needed - to the bones, which supports their mineralisation and strength. Supplementation of both vitamins together supports protection against osteoporosis and bone disease, especially in older people.

✅ Cardiovascular support: Vitamin K2 plays a key role in the health of blood vessels. It helps prevent calcium build-up in the arteries, which can lead to hardening of the arteries (vascular calcification). Vitamin K2 redirects calcium to the bones instead of allowing it to build up in the vessels, which supports cardiovascular health, improves arterial elasticity and reduces the risk of heart disease.

✅ Immune system support: Vitamin D3 plays a key role in the function of the immune system, supporting its ability to fight off infections. Regular supplementation with vitamin D3 can help improve immunity and reduce the risk of infections such as colds, flu and other viral and bacterial diseases.

✅ Improving bone mineral density: The synergistic action of vitamins D3 and K2 supports bone mineralisation processes, which can lead to improved bone mineral density. Thus, supplementation with these vitamins can help prevent fractures and support bone health, especially in older people and postmenopausal women.

✅ Prevention of vitamin D and K deficiency : Vitamin D3 deficiency is common, especially in countries with less sun exposure. Vitamin D3 supplementation can help maintain optimal levels of this vitamin, which supports bone health, the immune system and overall wellbeing. Vitamin K2 (in the form of MK-7) is less common in the diet, so supplementation can help prevent deficiencies.

For whom this supplement is intended

• People concerned about bone and dental health: Vitamin D3 and K2 supplementation supports bone health, improves bone mineralisation and prevents osteoporosis and fractures.
• People at risk of vitamin D deficiency: The supplement is particularly beneficial for people who have limited access to sunlight or do not consume enough vitamin D from their diet.
• Those concerned about heart health: Vitamin K2 supports cardiovascular health by preventing calcium build-up in the arteries and improving the elasticity of blood vessels.
• Older people and post-menopausal women: Regular supplementation with vitamin D3 and K2 helps to maintain healthy bones and supports cardiovascular health, which is particularly important in older age.
• Physically active people: Vitamin D3 supplementation supports joint health, bone health and overall performance, which is crucial for those who engage in regular physical activity.
