Vitamin D and intestinal calcium absorption: mechanisms and clinical implications
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2011
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 1,000 IU and Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7, natto-derived) 120 mcg per softgel, in MCT oil from non-GMO coconut oil. Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. Helps in the absorption and use of calcium. A factor in the maintenance of good health.
Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the intestine. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 activates two key proteins that direct that calcium where it belongs: osteocalcin, which binds calcium into bone matrix, and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposition in arterial walls and soft tissue. Taking D3 without K2 increases calcium absorption without directing it K2 provides the routing. MK-7 has an approximately 3-day half life, giving it sustained activity in peripheral tissues including bone and blood vessel walls.
D3 and K2 are fat-soluble vitamins they require fat for absorption. MCT oil (C8 and C10 medium chain triglycerides from non GMO coconut oil) is absorbed directly into the portal vein without requiring bile emulsification, providing efficient fat soluble vitamin absorption that does not depend on a fat containing meal.
