Taking Vitamin D? Here's Why You Need K2, Too.

You may be getting enough vitamin D3, but are you getting the most out of it?

Most people know how important vitamin D is, whether it comes from sunlight, food, or supplements. What’s less commonly known is that vitamin D3 works best when paired with vitamin K2, especially when it comes to supporting bone and cardiovascular health.

Vitamin D3 plays a key role in helping your body absorb calcium into the bloodstream. Vitamin K2 helps guide where that calcium goes by activating proteins that support proper calcium utilization. Together, they help support the movement of calcium into bones and teeth while also supporting healthy calcium balance in the arteries.

Vitamin K2 is also involved in supporting normal blood clotting, which is another essential function for overall health.

Many Western diets provide only about 25% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin K2. This is largely because common dietary sources such as dairy, cheese, butter, and eggs contain relatively small amounts. One of the richest natural food sources of vitamin K2 is natto, a traditional fermented soybean dish. Natto is also one of the few vegan sources of K2.

 In our D3-K2 supplements the vitamin K2 is sourced from natto to complement vitamin D3 and support overall calcium balance in the body.
