Vitamin D and Vitamin K2

Vitamin D and vitamin K2 both play key roles in calcium metabolism. Together, they regulate the cells which form and break down bones as well as the important transport molecules which ensure the correct utilisation of calcium. This product's ratio of vitamin D3 to K2 MK-7 is specially formulated to ensure optimal interactivity between these two nutrients.

Vitamin D is still being intensively researched. New mechanisms of action of this fascinating vitamin are discovered almost every year. So far, the following statements on vitamin D have been released by the EU via the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

According to EFSA, vitamin D contributes to:

• Normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus
• Normal calcium levels in the blood
• The maintenance of bones
• The maintenance of normal muscle function
• The maintenance of healthy teeth
• Normal immune system functioning
• Cell division

As far as their effects on the body, virtually every health authority currently treats the vitamins of the K group as one. Accordingly, statements released for vitamin K1 are also attributed to vitamin K2.

According to EFSA, vitamin K contributes to:

• Normal blood clotting
• The maintenance of normal bones

Vitamin K2 occurs in a variety of molecular structures known as homologues. Although the MK-7 homologue is currently considered the most effective, only the trans isomers are bioactive.

Recommended Dosage

Take 1 capsule with food and 200ml water every 10 days.

Note: Not suitable for children under the age of 7.

Daily Requirements

Vitamin D3
The contradictory information regarding daily requirements for vitamin D intake can be very confusing. Daily recommendations vary greatly between different organisations and governing bodies. For example, the EU recommends a daily intake of 200 IU for adults, while the German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends 800 IU.

Many researchers and nonprofit organisations consider these recommendations too low to effectively prevent deficiency. The Endocrine Society, for example, recommends 1,500–2,000 IU per day, and the Vitamin D Council (USA) sets the requirement at 3,000–6,000 IU/day.

Vitamin K2
Although the DGE recommends a total intake of at least 70µg vitamin K per day, there are currently no recommendations for vitamin K2 specifically.

Note: Recent research has shown that vitamin K1 and K2 have significantly different effect profiles. Given this new evidence, care must be taken when treating these forms as one. Though the need for vitamin K2 has not yet been scientifically proven, complete carboxylation of matrix GLA protein and osteocalcin – the central task of vitamin K2 – can only be achieved from doses of about 100µg/day.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. Food supplements cannot replace a balanced and varied diet. Keep out of reach of children.
