What is vitamin D and what is it needed for?

The human body can produce vitamin D itself, provided that sufficient UV light reaches the skin. This is why vitamin D is often simply referred to as the ‘sunshine vitamin’. In Germany, in most cases, it is sufficient to spend 5 to 25 minutes a day in the sun. Between October and March, the sun’s rays are not strong enough to produce sufficient vitamin D. The body therefore draws on its own stores during this period. Vitamin D intake supports the immune system, muscles and bones, dental health, the utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, and the regulation of calcium levels in the blood.

What is vitamin K and what is it needed for?

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin and helps maintain normal bones and normal blood clotting. In this context, the letter ‘K’ stands for coagulation (blood clotting). Vitamin K occurs in different forms: vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), found mainly in the leaves of green plants, and vitamin K2 (menaquinone). The term ‘vitamin K2’ encompasses several menaquinones (MK), including MK-7, which is contained in Dekristolvit® OSTEO D3 K2 Mg capsules. Vitamin K2 promotes the formation of osteocalcin, which is required for the uptake of calcium into the bones.

What is magnesium and what is it needed for?

Magnesium is a vital mineral that the body cannot produce itself, which is why it must be obtained through diet or dietary supplements. It is essential for numerous bodily functions, including normal muscle function, the nervous system, energy metabolism and bone health. Magnesium also supports mental function, protein synthesis and electrolyte balance in the body.

Why do vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 complement each other?

Studies have shown that vitamins D3 and K2 are closely linked. Whilst vitamin D3 promotes the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood, thereby regulating calcium absorption, vitamin K2 ensures that the calcium reaches the bones. It is therefore important to ensure an adequate intake of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2.
