![]() ![]() Thus, vitamin K and vitamin D not only share similar qualities but they also act synergistically with one another within the body.5 Ortho Molecular’s Vitamin D3 with K2 liquid utilizes a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) delivery system providing 10 mcg of vitamin K2 (as MK-7) and 1000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving. In addition, vitamin K has been found to help maintain bone mineral density by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, a cell that breaks down the bone matrix2. Through its activation of the protein osteocalcin, vitamin K helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the mineral matrix in bone. A group of naturally occurring and structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K is essential for the proper utilization of calcium. New research is focusing on the synergistic relationship between vitamin K (specifically, vitamin K2) and vitamin D3, especially in terms of bone strength1. ![]() A growing body of research shows that when it comes to bone health, ensuring optimal intake of vitamin K is a critical piece of the puzzle. ![]()
