Vitamin K & D For strong bones - Pure Encapsulations

Vitamins K and D are fat-soluble micronutrients. Like vitamin D, your body needs vitamin K for bone formation. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and also has an influence on blood clotting. Since vitamins K and D are fat-soluble vitamins, you should always take them simultaneously with high-quality oils to increase absorption.

What is Vitamin K?

There are two naturally occurring forms of vitamin K, namely vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinone). Vitamin K2 refers to several menaquinones that differ in the length of their side chain. While vitamin K1 is mainly found in the leaves of various green plants, vitamin K2 is exclusively produced by microorganisms.

Do you have to take Vitamin D with K2?

The rumor that vitamin D must be taken together with K2 persists. Your body can absorb and utilize vitamin D, but also vitamin K, separately. The combination of the two is useful if you want to use the vitamins for your bones, because vitamin K supports the positive effects of vitamin D3 in bone metabolism. Vitamin K & D from Pure Encapsulations provides you with a good combination of vitamin D3, K2, and K1 and thus contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
