It is a dietary supplement that helps improve the health of bones and the cardiovascular system.
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin necessary for synthesizing proteins that help control bleeding (coagulation factors) and, therefore, for normal blood clotting. It occurs naturally in two forms: vitamin K1 (phytoquinone), found in green leafy vegetables, and vitamin K2 (menaquinone), found in meat, cheese, and eggs.
When the body has low levels of vitamin D, the risk of cardiovascular disease or heart disease increases in older adults. This happens because the body's production of vitamin D3 decreases over time, and dietary supplements are necessary to ensure adequate levels.
This vitamin is necessary to prolong the life of white blood cells, increasing resistance levels to protect the body from disease.
Vitamin D3 is stored in the body's fatty tissues and allows bones to absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for maintaining a healthy skeletal system. Vitamin K works in synergy with vitamin D, another essential vitamin for bones. Vitamin D ensures high calcium levels in the blood, while vitamin K2 promotes calcium accumulation in bone.
