Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 are often considered separately, yet they complement each other well. Both are fat-soluble vitamins, and both play a role in keeping bones normal.
Vitamin D and calcium absorption
Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium. In other words, it helps the body make use of the calcium it takes in from food.
Both contribute to normal bones
Vitamin D and vitamin K both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin D also contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth, while vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting. Combined, the two vitamins therefore cover more ground than either one does on its own.
Why the delivery form matters
Vitamin D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, so they are absorbed best together with fat. That is why VYKEA offers them in an MCT oil base: the fat-based carrier oil supports the absorption of both vitamins. For K2, it uses the MK-7 form (menaquinone-7), which stays available in the body longer than short-chain forms.
Conclusion
Vitamin D3 and K2 complement each other. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium, and both vitamins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Combining the two covers these basics in a single step.
