Vitamin D and Bone Health: What to Know

Strong and healthy bones help you throughout life, but they are especially important as you age and grow older gracefully. And while calcium is the nutrient that most people think of when they want to maintain the health of their bones and teeth, that mineral is far from the only one on team “bone health.” Your body is all about teamwork! Both vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 do their fair share as well. These unsung heroes of bone health make sure that the calcium your body needs to maintain bones and teeth is used for just that – and not deposited elsewhere in the body, such as in soft tissues or the arteries.*

Vitamin D helps regulate the body’s calcium and phosphate levels, which helps keep muscles, bones and teeth strong and healthy. Plus, this vitamin plays a role in immune health.* When paired with Vitamin K, the two nutrients help the body use calcium properly, which supports cardiovascular and bone health.* Vitamin K is necessary for making certain proteins for blood clotting and bone building.*

Choose a Vitamin D supplement that also includes Vitamin K.
