USA medical vitamin K2+D3 contains high doses of vitamins K2 and D3, vitamin C, calcium and BioPerine® to improve the absorption of active ingredients. Vitamin D3 is formed by our body under the influence of natural light from the provitamin 7-dehydro-cholesterol.
What is the role of vitamin K2 in maintaining bone health?
Vitamin K2 belongs to the family of K vitamins. Vitamin K is involved in normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones.
Vitamin K helps to ensure that calcium is incorporated in the right places in our body, such as in bones and teeth, and not in blood vessels or other soft tissues. For this reason, if someone takes a calcium dietary supplement and has a vitamin K deficiency - which occurs in the largest percentage of cases - it is essential to support the absorption of calcium with vitamin K from a quality source. In its absence, calcium supplementation may result in mineral deposits.
What is vitamin K2 in?
Vitamin K2 is mainly produced by the intestinal flora, but this important vitamin can also be found in some foods, such as hard cheeses such as gouda, blue cheeses, eggs, or meat from free-range beef, or vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or kale.
What is the role of calcium in maintaining bone health?
Calcium is a nutrient that plays a role in the formation and maintenance of healthy and strong bones. It also plays a critical role in intercellular fluid, muscles, and the circulatory system.
Calcium:
- participates in normal blood clotting processes.
- participates in normal energy-producing metabolic processes.
- contributes to normal muscle function.
- participates in normal impulse transmission.
- contributes to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes.
- plays a role in cell division processes and cell specialization.
- necessary to maintain normal bones and teeth.
Several types can be distinguished among dietary supplements containing calcium. One main type contains calcium carbonate and the other main type contains calcium citrate. It is important to emphasize that of the two types, calcium carbonate contains the highest amount of organic calcium. Calcium carbonate contains 40%, while citrate contains only 21%. 1 capsule of USA medical K2 D3 contains 210 mg of calcium carbonate.
Did you know that vitamin D contributes to proper calcium absorption?
Many people do not know that calcium is absorbed in the small intestine, which can only happen with the right amount of vitamin D. That is why we considered it important that our K2 D3 dietary supplement tablet contains vitamin D in addition to vitamin K2 and calcium, in order to enable better biological utilization.
The role of vitamin D in the body
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that our body produces under the influence of sunlight (with the help of UV-B rays), which is why it is very important to spend a lot of time outdoors, but avoid the scorching sun!
Vitamin D:
- contributes to the normal absorption/utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
- contributes to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels.
- contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones.
- contributes to the maintenance of healthy muscle function.
- contributes to the maintenance of normal dentition.
- contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
- plays a role in cell division.
Globally, 50% of people suffer from vitamin D deficiency regardless of gender, age and nationality. According to a 2013 study by the research group of the Department of Internal Medicine No. 1 of the Semmelweis University, 95% of the Hungarian population is vitamin D deficient. During the gloomy winter and autumn seasons, when we are not exposed to a sufficient amount of sunlight, vitamin D supplementation is extremely important for everyone.
The lack of vitamin D in both adults and children is mainly caused by the lack of time spent in the sun, as well as by sunscreen creams full of chemical active ingredients and with a high SPF number, which block the UVB rays reaching our skin, which would cause the production of vitamin D in our body.
The power of BioPerine
BioPerine is a patented formula that contains piperine, an extract of black pepper. Piperine contributes to the absorption of active ingredients.
The essential vitamin C
Among other things, our preparation contains the versatile vitamin C because it contributes to normal collagen formation and through this to the maintenance of healthy bones and cartilage.
But in addition, due to its numerous health effects, it is worth taking vitamin C on a daily basis, as it contributes to:
- for the normal functioning of the nervous system
- for normal energy-producing metabolic processes
- to reduce fatigue and exhaustion and to protect cells against oxidative stress
- for the normal functioning of the immune system during or after intense exercise
- for the normal functioning of the nervous system and the maintenance of normal psychological function
- vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron
Vitamin C contributes to proper collagen formation and through:
- to maintain the normal state and function of the skin.
- to maintain the normal condition of the gums.
- to maintain the normal condition and functioning of blood vessels
