Vitamin D3 & K2 Overview
NOW Vitamin D-3 and K-2 may seem and sound like a strange combination of nutrients, but they're necessary for the proper utilization of calcium and therefore critical bone health factors. But because vitamin D and K are under-supplied by most multis, most calciums and even most bone formulas, there's a market for D3 and K-2 combinations to fill in these gaps. Many people already use vitamin D supplements, unaware that Vitamin K is just as important for bone health, and just as likely to be under-supplied by diet and supplements. Besides bone health, vitamin D and vitamin K play indispensable roles in heart, immune and metabolic health, too. NOW Foods gets the potencies just right by using 1000 IU of virtually nontoxic vitamin D along with a more conservative 45 mcg of healthy blood clotting factor vitamin K.
Vitamin D3 & K2 Description from Now
NOW combines two nutrients extensively researched for their contribution to the health of bones, teeth and the cardiovascular system. Vitamin D3 promotes calcium transport and absorption. It may also play a role in proper insulin action and glucose metabolism and is critical to immune system function. Vitamin K is necessary for the formation of healthy, strong bones. Vitamin K plays a role in arterial health through its ability to support proper calcium metabolism in veins and arteries. Vitamin K2 is an active and bioavailable form of vitamin K.
