The way vitamins and minerals work in the body is that co-factors are necessary to get the maximum benefit from vitamin D.

Not everyone has realized that vitamin K is an important co-factor for vitamin D and they work together to strengthen bones.

Vitamin D helps bring calcium into the body, while vitamin K activates proteins that channel this calcium into bones and teeth and keep it out of arteries and major organs.

Longer information about the relationship between these two vitamins can be found, for example, here.

There are three forms of vitamin K,  (K1, K2 and K3), but K2 is biologically active in the body for a longer time than the others and is also better absorbed.

WHC Vitamin K2+D3 contains vitamin K in the form of K2, also known as menaquinone-7 (MK-7). It is soy-free, but similar to the natto found in Japanese breakfast.

However, D3 is the optimal form of vitamin D, it is identical to the one produced in the body and we use it at least three times more effectively than the D2 form.

Using a good quality supplement (such as WHC Vitamin K2 + D3) is a good way to help support bone, muscle and immune health and maintain normal blood calcium levels.

If you are taking warfarin or other blood thinners, be sure to consult your doctor before taking a vitamin K supplement!
