Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption in the gut, helping to maintain normal blood calcium levels. This process activates proteins that bind calcium. Vitamin K2 then activates osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, supporting bone density. Additionally, vitamin K2 activates matrix GLA protein, which contributes to normal blood clotting by preventing calcium deposition in blood vessels.* By taking D3 and K2 together, you create a system that not only supports calcium absorption but also its proper utilisation. This is especially important for individuals taking higher doses of vitamin D, as vitamin K2 helps maintain calcium balance.*
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work as a team in the body. Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the digestive tract, while vitamin K2 supports the direction of that calcium to the bones and teeth, helping to maintain proper calcium balance.* This synergistic combination is widely recognized for its role in supporting bone strength, immune function, and normal blood clotting. Many individuals choose to take them together to optimise the benefits of each nutrient.
NatureBell Vitamin D3 50,000 IU with Vitamin K2 provides a high-potency weekly dose designed to support healthy vitamin D levels, especially for those with limited sun exposure. Each soft gel capsule delivers 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and 200 mcg of vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7, MK-7).
