Calcium - the body's building material

Calcium is the building material of the body's supporting system - the bones. Almost all calcium in the body is bound to the bones and teeth. But a small proportion, just under 1% of the body's calcium, is found in other tissues. There, it has the function of "pulling out" if a bone needs repairing, for the blood to clot and the like. But it also has a lesser-known role - it's calcium that allows us to contract muscles. In other words, calcium allows us to walk with muscle power, grip the grocery bag handle and a host of other everyday essentials.

Optimisation of caclium uptake

Swedish research at Örebro University has studied the role of vitamin K (especially vitamin K2) in the distribution of calcium in the body. In simple terms, vitamin K distributes calcium in the body, a bit like a police officer directing how drivers should drive. The main purpose is to remove calcium from the bloodstream (where it is transported around the body and, in unfavourable cases, can become trapped). The main target for the calcium is where it does the most good - to strengthen the bone structure. This is because Vitmain K2 has the ability to strengthen bones without increasing overall mineral content.

Bone-strengthening cooperation between K and D

The interaction between vitamin K2 and vitamin D is particularly beneficial. Vitamin D has the ability to increase the supply of calcium in the body. When this ability is coupled with vitamin K2's ability to distribute the calcium supply where it is most needed, the combination has a very beneficial effect on bone strength. A particularly important feature for women who tend to suffer from osteoporosis after menopause.
