Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
When it comes to maintaining calcium balance in the body, vitamins D3 and K2 play complementary roles. Vitamin D3 boosts calcium absorption from food, while vitamin K2 directs that calcium to where it’s needed most – your bones and teeth. The OUYIYUA Vitamin D3 K2 Gummies deliver a well-researched combination of 5000 IU D3 and 100 mcg K2 (as MK-7) in a convenient, great-tasting gummy form.
Vitamin D3 supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, which help shuttle calcium into the bloodstream. Vitamin K2 then activates two key proteins: osteocalcin, which incorporates calcium into bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps prevent calcium from depositing in blood vessel walls. OUYIYUA undertake MK-7, the most bioavailable and long-lasting form of K2, ensuring sustained support for calcium utilisation.
By maintaining a healthy calcium balance, this combination supports the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting, as recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
