Why are Vitamin D and Vitamin K So Important?
Vitamin D and Vitamin K are two essential, fat-soluble vitamins that are important to overall health. The human body can’t make them (which is why they are “essential”) so they must be consumed from food or supplements.
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.*
- 4 in 10 adults in the world do not get enough vitamin D – and some also don’t get enough vitamin K.
- Vitamin D3 is essential for multiple health benefits, including immune health, strong bones and cardiovascular health.
- Vitamin K2 (when paired with D3) supports proper calcium transportation and absorption into the bones.*
- These nutrients work synergistically, meaning they are better together than individually.*
When looking for a supplement, consider one that combines Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2.
