THE HORMONE-VITAMIN FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Nutrients rarely work in isolation, and many metabolic processes require a combination of different vitamins and minerals to function effectively.
Maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels relies on adequate magnesium intake.
Magnesium is needed to activate enzymes in the liver and kidneys that convert vitamin D3 into cholecalciferol, the active form of vitamin D that can be utilized by the body.
Lack of adequate magnesium levels can lead to a vitamin D deficiency even if you have plenty of sun exposure or are taking vitamin D supplements.
Low vitamin D levels can impair intestinal magnesium absorption, which increases the risk of magnesium deficiency and consequently can worsen vitamin D deficiency.
In addition, vitamin K2 works in synergy with vitamin D to maintain calcium balance and regulate the deposition of calcium into bone tissue.
While vitamin D3 helps your body absorb more calcium, vitamin K2 helps your body transport it to your bones and teeth rather than letting it sit in your arteries and other soft tissues in your body. This not only helps to promote bone health, but it also helps to keep your heart healthy as well.
Both vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 are fat-soluble vitamins that play essential roles in many physiological functions, and combining these two nutrients can enhance their effectiveness and health benefits.
It is therefore essential to ensure that the recommended amount of magnesium and vitamin K2 is consumed to obtain the optimal benefits of vitamin D.
