Herbs Of Gold Calcium K2 With D3, 90 Or 180 Tablets

Herbs of Gold Calcium K2 with D3 contains two organic, highly bioavailable forms of calcium;  Aquamin™ derived from highly mineralised seaweed and calcium citrate.

Calcium and vitamin D help to promote strong bones and maintain bone density and healthy teeth. Calcium may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis and may assist in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.Calcium helps promote bone density and may be of assistance in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.Women's calcium requirements are increased after menopause. A diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life. 

Vitamin D assists calcium absorption and a diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life. Vitamin D, together with calcium, strengthens bones in mature people, promoting bone density and may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Vitamin K2, in the form of K2VITAL® Delta (menaquinone 7), provides a patented form of vitamin K2, and the only microencapsulated K2 on the market for enhanced ingredient stability.

Vitamin K2 is necessary for osteocalcin activity, a protein that binds calcium in bone. Vitamin K2 is necessary to incorporate calcium into bone. Vitamin K2 helps maintain healthy bones and bone strength. For the prevention and treatment of a calcium, vitamin K or Vitamin D nutritional deficiency.

Vitamin K2 & healthy bones

Bones continually change over your lifetime, as your body constantly renews or remodels bones by breaking down old bone and replacing it with new bone – it’s a very dynamic process. Even relatively small changes in this process can have a major impact on your overall bone health. Bones provide your body with structure that’s strong enough to cope and adapt to various physical activities, yet remaining lightweight enough to allow flexible movement.

Bone health occurs in four phases:

1.    Growth occurs during childhood and adolescence

2.    Maintenance occurs during young to middle adulthood

3.    Mid-life bone loss typically occurs in adults between 50-70 years of age

4.    Frailty occurs in adults 70+ years of age

It’s well established that both calcium and vitamin D are essential for strong healthy bones, and now, vitamin K2 is in the driver’s seat to ensure that calcium gets where it needs to go; into your bones and out of your blood vessels. 

Vitamin K2 & cardiovascular health

While vitamin K2 is important for calcium distribution and bone health, it also has the added advantage of maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. Vitamin K2’s role in trapping and binding calcium, helps to steer calcium away from your blood vessels, reducing the risk of blood vessel calcification and atherosclerosis. Various epidemiological studies show that high intake of vitamin K2 is associated with lower blood vessel calcification, and lower incidence of coronary heart disease.

Vitamin K1 vs Vitamin K2

Vitamin K is present in 2 natural forms – vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and vitamin K2 (menaquinones).

Vitamin K1 only has a half-life of 1.5 hours in your body, so for a therapeutic effect, vitamin K1 needs to be taken several times a day, at very high doses that exceed recommended supplemental intake. The main action of vitamin K1 is in blood clotting.

Vitamin K2 is a group of compounds, known as menaquinones (MK). The main function of menaquinones is in calcium distribution, keeping calcium in bones and out of blood vessels.  MK-4 only has a serum half-life of 1.5 hours, so like vitamin K1, is difficult to take as a supplement. MK-7 on the other hand, has a half-life of 72 hours and has the best absorption and bioavailability of all the menaquinones.

Tri-essentials for bone health with an added cardiovascular bonus

Combining vitamin K2 (MK-7) with vitamin D3 and organic, well absorbed forms of calcium, provides synergistic and unparalleled bone support. Calcium is essential for strong healthy bones, vitamin D3 improves intestinal absorption of calcium and vitamin K2 directs and binds calcium into the bone while keeping calcium away from blood vessels. Bone health is important at any age.
