Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2 capsule is used to support cardiovascular health. It contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorous in the body, and to normal blood clotting. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
Pharmacology
Vitamin K2 is needed to activate osteocalcin, a protein that carries calcium into bone and builds it into the bone matrix. This keeps the skeleton healthy. When calcium goes into the bone matrix, less of it is left to form harmful deposits in soft body tissues.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is essential for normal bone growth and development, and for maintaining bone density. It also helps the body use both Calcium and Phosphorus. The active form of Vitamin D3, Calcitriol, works by binding to the Vitamin D receptors (VDRs), which are found widely in many body tissues. Because Vitamin D3 is fat soluble, its half life is about 50 days.
Vitamin D3 is absorbed in the small intestine. There it binds to specific a-globulins and is carried to the liver, where it is metabolised to 25-hydroxy Vitamin D3 (Calcidiol). A second hydroxylation to 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D3 (Calcitriol) takes place in the kidney. This metabolite is what allows the vitamin to increase calcium absorption. Vitamin D3 that has not been metabolised is stored in tissues such as fat and muscle. It leaves the body through faeces and urine.
