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 organic non-GMO coconut oil. Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. Helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. Helps to maintain immune function.
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. MK-7 has an approximately 3 day half life, giving it sustained activity in peripheral tissues including bone and blood vessel walls between daily doses.
D3 and K2 are fat-soluble vitamins that require fat for absorption. Organic non-GMO coconut oil provides the fat needed for absorption of both vitamins in each softgel no separate fat containing meal required.
