Athena Vitamin D3 2000IU with K2 (MK-7) - 90 Chewable Tablets

Understanding the Synergy Between Vitamins D3 and K2

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) helps the body absorb calcium from the diet, while vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) supports the incorporation of that calcium into bone tissue. This complementary action means that taking them together can help ensure that calcium is used where it is needed most. The Athena formula provides 2000 IU of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in its MK-7 form, which has a longer half-life in the body compared to other forms, offering sustained support.*

Without sufficient vitamin K2, the calcium absorbed thanks to vitamin D3 may not be properly directed to the bones. By combining both nutrients, Athena’s supplement helps maintain a healthy calcium balance, contributing to normal bone structure and function.*
