Vitamin K2- D3

Vitamin K2 & D3

  • Whole 200 μg K2 per capsule
  • Gently extracted from natural sources
  • Contributes to normal blood coagulation and to the maintenance of normal bone structure
  • With vitamin D, which contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal bone structure and muscle function
  • In a base of coconut oil for best absorption

Contains a natural form of vitamin K2, menaquinone-7, which contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bone structure. Vitamin K2 is supplemented with vitamin D3 as vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption/utilization of calcium and phosphorus and to the maintenance of normal bone structure and the normal functioning of the immune system. As both vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 are fat-soluble vitamins, a base of coconut oil contributes to the best possible absorption in the body.



Vitamin K - The Nobel Prize discovery

Vitamin K is actually the result of Nobel Prize-winning research carried out in 1929, when a vitamin was discovered that was essential for blood clotting, i.e. the ability of blood to solidify. Since the vitamin was linked to coagulation, it was named vitamin 'K' as in 'coagulation'.

Many areas of research

Over the years, however, it has been shown that vitamin K has other meanings. Among other things, it affects the strength of the bones and skeleton. Its influence on cardiovascular diseases has also been studied. Furthermore, research has opened up on the influence of vitamin K on brain function.

Swedish research explains

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 policeman 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.

Are there several vitamins K?

-There are three different vitamins K, K1 (phyllokinone), K2 (menaquinone) and K3 (menadione). About 90% of vitamin K in the diet consists of vitamin K1 while vitamin K2 accounts for about 10%. Vitamin K3 is mostly produced synthetically but our gut bacteria can produce some K3 from K1.

What type of vitamin K2 does Elexir K2 contain?

-Menakinone-7 (MK-7). K2 consists of a group of menaquinones and our supplement contains the form menaquinone-7. It is this form that is most efficiently absorbed by the body and has been studied the most.
