Let's talk popular vitamins! Raise your hand if you take D3 and have been suggested to take it by a doctor? π Chances are they didn't educate you on it.
D3 supplementation is commonly recommended based on blood tests by doctors or even chiropractors for various health benefits. However, what often gets overlooked is the essential cofactor: vitamin K2. While D3 is praised for its role in bone health and immune function, pairing it with vitamin K2 is crucial. Vitamin K2 serves as a vital partner, directing calcium to the bones and teeth where it's needed while preventing its accumulation in arteries or soft tissues. This collaboration ensures that the calcium absorbed with the help of D3 is effectively utilized in the right places, optimizing bone density and potentially reducing the risk of arterial calcification.
