Carlson's expertly crafted supplement delivers 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 90 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7 in each easy-to-swallow soft gel capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, enhancing calcium uptake. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) activates osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps maintain normal arterial flexibility. This synergistic action helps ensure calcium goes where it is needed most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Health Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBone and Teeth Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, while vitamin K contributes to normal bone health and blood clotting.*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmune Function:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium Utilisation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, and to normal blood calcium levels.*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the digestive tract, while vitamin K2 directs that calcium to the bones and teeth, where it is needed. Without K2, calcium may deposit in soft tissues. Taking them together ensures balanced calcium metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarlson chooses vitamin K2 in the MK-7 form, known for its longer half-life and sustained activity in the body.
