Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in many important body functions and is best known for working with calcium in a woman’s body to help build and maintain strong bones. Vitamin D is also involved in regulating the immune system and cells, where it may help prevent cancer.  Osteoporosis, a common effect of menopause, is combatted with Vitamin D, but with the synergistic effect of Vitamin K.

Emerging research highlights the importance of optimal intake of vitamin K and its critical role in maintaining bone and cardiovascular health. Composed of a group of naturally occurring and structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K is required for the proper utilization of calcium and helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the bone matrix. Vitamin K helps maintain bone mineral density by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, cells which break down bone. It also provides critical cardiovascular protection by activating matrix Gla protein (MGP), a potent inhibitor of circulatory calcification. Along with vitamin D, another key nutrient required for overall wellness, these two nutrients act in synergy to support and maintain bone and cardiovascular health. Current research has found high concentration supplementation, at 180 μg/day, results in improved clinical results compared to lower-dose supplementation.

• Supports Healthy Calcium Balance
• Promotes Bone Health
• Supports Cardiovascular Health and Arterial Elasticity
• Boosts Immune Function

BENEFITS

Vitamin K Depletion

Although most women consume adequate dietary vitamin K to maintain sufficient blood clotting, most do not consume enough to meet our cardiovascular and bone health needs. In fact, approximately 70% of women in the US are deficient in vitamin K2.

Bone Health

Building and maintaining healthy bones requires a number of key nutrients including vitamin K, for the proper binding of calcium to the bone matrix.

Cardiovascular Health and Blood Sugar Balance

Vitamin K plays a key role in supporting the cardiovascular system as well as blood sugar balance already within normal levels.

Immune Modulation

New evidence also suggests vitamin K plays a central role in boosting immune function.
