Product information "Vitaworld Vitamin D3 2000 I.U. + K2 MK7 200 µg Tablets"
Vitaworld Vitamin D3 2000 I.U. + K2 MK7 200 µg tablets are a food supplement with vitamin D3 and K2 to support normal bone function.
Vitamin D is a very special vitamin - in more ways than one: it belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins and can therefore be stored in the body, unlike water-soluble vitamins. As fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed together with fats, the simultaneous intake of fat can therefore increase the absorption of these vitamins. However, this also means that in people who eat a very low-fat diet, only small amounts of these vitamins enter the body. In addition, vitamin D is the only vitamin that can be produced by the body itself - through exposure to sunlight.
Vitamin D is important for numerous metabolic processes. However, it must first be converted into a usable form, known as calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol), in the skin, liver and kidneys. The vitamin D hormones, known as calcitriol derivatives, are primarily required in the intestines and kidneys as well as in bones, muscles and nerves. They influence the calcium and phosphate balance and ensure sufficient absorption and storage of calcium. However, the prohormone also plays an important role in numerous other biological processes, particularly in connection with the immune system.
A distinction is made between the two forms of vitamin K: K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinone). They are essential, fat-soluble vitamins, although the body can produce very small amounts of vitamin K itself. Vitamin K2 is considered to be the more valuable of the two. On the one hand because, unlike K1, it also has anti-inflammatory properties, and on the other hand because it appears to have a more important function than K1 for the health of bones, cartilage and blood vessels and is also distributed more quickly in the body.
The combination of vitamin D and vitamin K plays an important role in bone health in particular. Vitamin D has the task of forming the protein osteocalcin during bone mineralisation. Vitamin K2 is necessary for the activation of this protein. Osteocalcin activated by vitamin K can bind calcium and thus promote bone formation.
