The D3 in this formula is sourced from lichens, composite organisms formed from algae and fungi that naturally produce cholecalciferol, the same form of Vitamin D produced in human skin upon UVB sunlight exposure. Lichen-derived D3 is the only plant-based source of true Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), as opposed to Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) found in other plant sources. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 is derived from natto, a traditional Japanese fermented food made from soybeans and the richest known dietary source of MK-7. This product is formulated and manufactured entirely in Canada under Health Canada oversight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy D3 and K2 Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the intestine. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 activates two key Vitamin K-dependent proteins: osteocalcin, which binds calcium into bone matrix, and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposition in soft tissues including blood vessel walls. D3 increases calcium availability; K2 directs it to bone and away from soft tissues. MK-7 is the preferred K2 form because its half-life of approximately 3 days allows it to remain active in peripheral tissues including bone and blood vessel walls, unlike MK-4 which has a half-life of hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBone and teeth health\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption.
