Nature’s Answer Vitamin D3 & K2 liquid drops – Vitamins in Synergy!

By Ella O., Nutrition Advisor

Formulated by a team of experts, Nature’s Answer brings you NEW Vitamin D3 & K2 liquid drops. Vitamin D3 is in its biologically active form – cholecalciferol and extra virgin olive oil have been added to the formula, to support the assimilation of these fat-soluble nutrients. The liquid drops provide efficient and fast absorption- to help you meet your Vitamin D & K2 requirements. At an impressive 250 servings, this little bottle goes a long way!

Vitamin D & Vitamin K2 work as a team: the synergistic interplay between these two nutrients is now more widely understood and appreciated. Vitamin D3 assists calcium absorption and Vitamin K2 is a co-factor in calcium utilisation, helping to ensure calcium is deposited in bones (and away from soft tissues and arteries).*

Vitamin D is a vital nutrient that contributes to many health aspects:

• Supports the normal function of the immune system                                                
• Supports the health of our bones
• Supports normal muscle function                                              
• Supports the absorption of calcium, a key mineral to healthy bones and teeth
• It has an important role to play in the process of cell division                                                                                      
• Research also suggests a link between Vitamin D and emotional wellbeing

Healthy Bones:

We know that dietary calcium plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones but so does having adequate amounts of Vitamin D and Vitamin K2. A healthy balanced diet that contains all these elements can go a long way to help support bone density.

Vitamin K2 Discovery:

For most of the last century, the only information available regarding Vitamin K was about its role in normal blood clotting. However more recent discoveries have found that Vitamin K2 operates quite differently in the body compared to Vitamin K1.  Unlike Vitamin K1, Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is required for calcium metabolism. Research shows that it does this by working as a co-factor to activate proteins (enzymes) known as osteocalcin and MGP.

Vitamin D3- Sunshine Vitamin:

There has been a lot of interest in Vitamin D3 within this last year- which is not surprising, considering the circumstances - due to its important role within the immune system! Public Health England has recommended that everyone supplement their diet with Vitamin D between the months of October and March. This is when the UVB light in the UK is too weak to produce Vitamin D in the body. They also state that those at a higher risk of deficiency may need to take a supplement all year round – during the summer months too!

Those who risk deficiency in the summertime may include people with dark skin as well as individuals who cover up outdoors for cultural reasons. Anyone with limited exposure to high UVB sunlight maybe at risk!

It is estimated that just 10 % of our Vitamin D can be sourced from food, the remaining 90% must be obtained via exposure to the sun or Vitamin D supplementation.
