Key Health Benefits

• Bone Support: Vitamin D3 contributes to normal calcium absorption, while K2 helps incorporate calcium into bone tissue for strong, healthy bones.*
• Dental Health: Proper calcium utilisation supports tooth mineralisation and overall oral wellness.*
• Immune Function: Vitamin D3 helps support a healthy immune response, especially during seasonal changes.*
• Heart Health: By activating matrix GLA protein, vitamin K2 helps maintain arterial elasticity and normal cardiovascular function.*

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together

When you consume vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), it supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, enhancing calcium uptake. Vitamin K2, specifically as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), activates two key proteins: osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein, which supports normal calcium balance in the arteries. This partnership helps maintain bone density and cardiovascular flexibility.*

Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?

Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work as a team to support your body's calcium management. While vitamin D3 helps increase calcium absorption from the diet, vitamin K2 directs that calcium to the bones and teeth where it is needed, helping to maintain its proper placement away from soft tissues. This synergy is why many health-conscious individuals choose a combined supplement.

What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement

NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 & K-2 provides 1000 IU of vitamin D3 (from lanolin) and 45 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7 (from natto extract).
