Vitamin K2 + D3 New Formula 60 tablets YAMAMOTO

Yamamoto® Research Vitamin K2 + D3 is a food supplement based on high-dose vitamin K2 and vitamin D3, which can be used in all cases of increased demand or decreased intake of these vitamins. Vitamin D3 is essential for supporting the bone and tooth health , support for immune system and to prevent the onset of cardiovascular diseases, while vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and to the maintenance of healthy bones .

Vitamin K2 performs various functions in our body: in particular it acts by activating MGP ( Matrix Gla Protein ), a protein that binds calcium circulating in the blood and prevents it from precipitating in the form of crystals in the arterial wall, preventing the formation of atheromatous plaques . Furthermore, vitamin K2 stimulates osteocalcin , a protein that It helps calcium bind to bone tissue and teeth , making them stronger and more flexible. It's found in foods such as dairy products, eggs, meat, and some green leafy vegetables.

The association with vitamin D3 makes the supplement even more more effective in supporting bone and dental health.

Usually, in fact, vitamin D is produced by the body following Exposure to sunlight : we synthesize approximately 80% of the vitamin D we need through skin exposed to the sun, but it is often not possible to get enough exposure. We spend most of our time indoors (office, school, or at home) and also Food sources of vitamin D do not guarantee optimal levels and, although we tend to consider Vitamin D only for the bone health , in fact this vitamin is important for many aspects of health . It is a " parahormone " that acts on organs and systems just like a hormone. Vitamin D is essential for the skeletal system, stimulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and is essential for maintaining good bone and tooth health. Vitamin D is found in almost 3,000 genes of the body and its receptors throughout the body: it therefore becomes clear how this micronutrient is involved in many processes related to our well-being.

What's the difference between vitamin D and vitamin D3? Are they the same thing? The main difference between vitamin D and vitamin D3 is their origin And chemical form .

Vitamin D is in fact a fat-soluble vitamin which exists in two main forms: the vitamin D2 ( ergocalciferol ) and the vitamin D3 ( cholecalciferol ). Vitamin D2 is found primarily in plant sources, while vitamin D3 is found in animal sources and is naturally produced by the skin in response to UVB sunlight.

There Vitamin D3 is considered the most effective form of vitamin D , as it has a increased affinity for vitamin D receptors in the body and is converted into active form more readily than vitamin D2. Additionally, vitamin D3 supplements are generally more effective at increasing blood vitamin D levels than vitamin D2.

What's the difference between vitamin K and K2? Vitamin K2, or menaquinone , is a fat-soluble vitamin, belonging to the Vitamin K family . This family of vitamins includes:

• the vitamin K1 , phylloquinone, which is found in plants and is then converted to K2 (it is therefore the least effective form, because it must be transformed into the active form to ensure significant action);

• the vitamin K2 , which exists in two forms: MK-4 (in meat, eggs and dairy products) and MK-7 (in grass-fed meat, fermented soybeans, yogurt and kefir) and more bioavailable and rapidly used by the body;

• the vitamin K3 , of synthetic origin and useful for regulating blood clotting.

The shape K2 MK-7 is therefore the optimal one for the formulation of food supplements, natural and highly bioavailable.
