Vitamin D and K - which is the best?

The D3+K2VIT.UP supplement is a dietary food for special medical purposes for dietary management in states of increased demand for vitamin D and K. The vials contain biologically active vitamin D and K in the form of cholecalciferol and menaquinone. One package provides 20 vitamin ampoules for 40-day supplementation.

The vitamin complex allows you to provide the necessary organic compounds for the proper functioning of the body. The perfect combination of fat-soluble vitamins D3 and K2 is the best possible investment in health. The D3+K2VIT.UP preparation in ampoules is a wealth of valuable properties dedicated to health.

Preparation with vitamins D3 and K2

D3+K2VIT.UP is a dietary supplement containing fat-soluble vitamins D3 and K2. Regular consumption of vitamin D3 ensures the proper functioning of the process of absorption and use of two valuable elements: calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin K2 helps maintain strong bones, prevents bleeding and contributes to normal blood clotting.

D3+K2VIT.UP was created for people who care about their health, proper diet and are physically active. Supplementation guarantees optimal supplementation of important vitamins in a convenient, liquid form.

The vitamin D3+K2 preparation is indicated for people with too high levels of calcium not transported to the bone tissue. The combination of both vitamins effectively increases protection against dangerous calcifications, e.g. of blood vessels, leading to cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, and thus an increased risk of death as a result of cardiovascular disease.

D3 and K2 properties

Vitamin D regulates the calcium and phosphorus economy, is responsible for the proper metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. The role of vitamin D3 is to maintain the proper structure of bones, skeletal system and teeth, and:

• strengthening the immune system

• maintaining proper muscle function

• maintaining proper bone mineralization

• supporting the treatment of conjunctivitis

Vitamin K comes in the form of K1 ( phylloquinone ) and K2 (menaquinone). It is a substance with anti-hemorrhagic properties and the ability to bind calcium ions. Thanks to vitamin K supplementation, you protect your body:

• you keep your bones healthy and strong

• you take care of the proper course of the process of mineralization of bone tissue

• you improve the blood coagulation process (vitamin K converts blood coagulation factors into forms that cause coagulation)

• you reduce excessively heavy menstrual bleeding

Vitamin D helps to properly distribute calcium and phosphorus in order to maintain healthy bones, and vitamin K is actively involved in the formation of bone tissue, and additionally, it has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and analgesic properties.

Vitamin D3 and K2 how to take?

One D3+K2VIT.UP ampoule contains 100 µg (4000 IU) of vitamin D3 and 150 µg of vitamin K2. According to the Reference Intake Value for an average adult (8400kJ/2000kcal), you should consume ½ ampoule per day, which corresponds to 50 µg (2000 IU) of vitamin D3 and 750 µg of vitamin K2.

Supplementation with D3+K2VIT.UP is a supplement to the necessary active ingredients to maintain good health - vitamins are involved in many physiological processes. In active people, adequate supply of vitamin D3 and K2 determines the proper functioning of muscles and the immune system.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of D3+K2VIT.UP for consumption . The product should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. The D3+K2VIT.UP dietary supplement is intended for adults – it is not recommended to use the supplement for children and pregnant women.

Vitamin D3 and K2 deficiency

D3+K2VIT.UP dietary supplement prevents the development of a deficiency disease. Vitamin D deficiency manifests itself in: dry skin, flaking of the epidermis and muscle pain. Deficiency disease contributes to reduced calcium absorption, development of rickets, bone demineralization, osteomalacia (softening of the bones), osteoporosis (degenerative changes in the bones), reduced calcium absorption, rickets and tooth decay.

Vitamin K deficiencies are rare, but they can be associated with general malnutrition of the body and impaired absorption of nutrients (in cancer, in the course of liver diseases, obstruction of the bile ducts, in antibiotic therapy). Vitamin K deficiency increases the risk of osteoporotic bone fractures, calcification of blood vessels, petechiae and internal bleeding.

Excess of vitamin D3 and K2

Remember not to exceed the recommended intake of fat-soluble vitamins. Excess vitamin D is stored in the adipose tissue of the body, leading to intoxication, causing, among others , hypercalcemia, which is an elevated level of calcium in the blood. Hypervitaminosis is manifested by: nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of appetite, eye pain, abdominal pain and constipation.

Consumption of larger amounts of vitamin K over a longer period of time should not result in harmful effects.

D3 and K2 – together or separately?

Vitamin D supplementation is mainly known for its beneficial effect on bone density (mineralization) and the prevention of fractures. In turn, vitamin K plays an important role in the process of blood coagulation. There is evidence of synergistic effects of vitamin D3 and K2.

Vitamin D3 and K2 - how to take?

Many people wonder whether to supplement vitamin D3 and K2 together or separately. Experimental studies suggest a significant effect of vitamin D on the metabolism dependent on the presence of vitamin K. Excess of cholecalciferol can cause a deficiency of valuable menaquinone. Vitamin K supplementation may reduce the adverse effect of excess vitamin D causing calcification, i.e. the deposition of excessively released calcium from the bones, e.g. in the kidneys or liver.

It is worth supplementing the complex of vitamins D3 and K2 with D3+K2VIT.UP ampoules, reducing the inflammation of the body, and at the same time increasing the body's efficiency. Vitamin D and K support the maintenance of healthy and strong bones.
