Key Health Benefits
This supplement combines vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 to support several aspects of your health. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, while both vitamins play a role in the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin K also contributes to normal blood clotting, which is important for overall cardiovascular function. By taking these two nutrients together, you help your body utilise calcium effectively – directing it to bones and teeth and away from soft tissues where it could cause issues.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
The synergy between vitamins D3 and K2 centres on calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 stimulates the absorption of calcium from food in the intestines and promotes the expression of osteocalcin, a protein produced by bone-forming cells. Osteocalcin must be activated to bind calcium into the bone matrix, and vitamin K2 facilitates this activation through carboxylation. In addition, K2 helps activate matrix GLA protein (MGP), which supports the maintenance of calcium balance by inhibiting calcium deposition in blood vessels. Futurebiotics undertake the MK-7 form of K2, which has a longer half-life and sustains levels in the bloodstream more effectively.
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work as a team in your body. D3 helps you absorb calcium from food, whilst K2 ensures that calcium is directed to bones and teeth and helps prevent calcium from depositing in soft tissues like arteries.

This 2-in-1 tablet offers a convenient way to support your bone, immune, and cardiovascular health.
