NOW combines two nutrients extensively researched for their benefits for bones, teeth and the cardiovascular system. Vitamin D3 promotes calcium absorption and calcium transport to bones. Vitamin K2, likewise has been shown to be critical for bone and cardiovascular health through its role in the support of proper calcium metabolism in bone and vascular structures. Vitmain K2 is the most biologically active form of Vitamin K.
Vitamin K plays an important role in keeping calcium in the bones and out of the arteries. It is one of the most important nutritional interventions for improving your bone density. It serves as the biological glue that helps put calcium and other important minerals into your bone matrix. There are a number of Japanese studies that have shown that vitamin K2 completely reverses bone loss and in some cases even increases bone mass in people with osteoporosis.
Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and calcium transport to bones. Most people are low in Vitamin D, so ask your doctor to test your D levels with a simple blood test. If you are low in D, it could lead to many health problems such as lower immune function, increased risk of multiple sclerosis, and developing heart disease. For women who are looking to become pregnant, it is critical to have your D levels checked. One recent study showed That there is "considerable evidence that low maternal levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D are associated with adverse outcomes for both mother and fetus in pregnancy as well as the neonate and child". It is also believed that good levels of vitamin D is protective against all cancers.
