- contains K2Vital® Delta which has a very high stability
- free from common allergens (such as soy)
- excipients from natural source (cassava and rice)
Vitamins K2 and D3 are being prescribed to an increasing extent and in higher doses, because the scientific basis is becoming stronger and more widely known. Both nutrients are combined in this product, because it is also becoming increasingly clear how great the synergy is and how the metabolic functions overlap. A strong combination, as a supplement to the standard basic supplement.
How do vitamins K and D work together?
Vitamin D stimulates the production of vitamin K-dependent proteins. And vitamin K is needed as a coenzyme to activate (carboxylate) this. These are the so-called Gla proteins, in which the glutamic acid (Glu) in specific proteins is converted into γ-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla). Carboxylation is essential for the vast majority of the functions of these proteins. Important examples of this are osteocalcin and Matrix-Gla protein (MGP). A common property of these carboxylated vitamin K-dependent Gla proteins is that they bind calcium. In this way, vitamin K and vitamin D ensure that calcium ends up in the right places in the body.
1) Osteocalcin: (also known as bone-GLA protein) is a vitamin K-dependent protein produced in bone and dental tissue and regulating its mineralization.
2) Matrix-GLA-proteïn: a vitamin K-dependent protein produced in most soft tissues, such as blood vessels, cartilage, kidneys, lungs and spleen, as well as bone tissue. MGP (like osteocalcin and other Gla proteins) has a calcium-binding property.
Superior forms of vitamins K and D
Vitamin K1 is mainly absorbed by the liver and ensures activation of clotting factors, while vitamin K2 is also used outside the liver for the activation of other vitamin K-dependent proteins (such as osteocalcin and MGP). Vitamin K2 (or "menaquinone") comes in several forms, the most famous of which are MK-4, MK-7, MK-8 and MK-9. According to the current scientific state of affairs, menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the most effective form of vitamin K2. MK-7 is excellently absorbed and remains in the body for a very long time to be able to act co-enzymatically, thanks to its long half-life. The most common forms of vitamin D (calciferol) are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Ergocalciferol is a vegetable form, while cholecalciferol comes from animal sources, but is also mainly produced by humans in the skin under the influence of the sun. These forms of vitamin D are converted in the liver to the metabolite calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D), which is converted as needed in the kidneys and other cells and tissues to the biologically active hormone calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). Vitamin D3 is more effective than vitamin D2 in increasing calcidiol and ultimately calcitriol in the blood.
K2Vital® Delta from Kappa Bioscience
Vitamin K2 is known to be highly unstable. In combination with minerals or certain excipients, the vitamin K2 content in a product can quickly decrease. This is of course highly undesirable, because you want to be able to store a supplement for its entire shelf life. The Norwegian producer Kappa Bioscience has developed a vitamin K2 raw material that is very well protected against external influences. By means of a patented micro-encapsulation process, the K2 is completely encapsulated, guaranteeing stability even in products with aggressive mineral compounds. Vitals has selected K2Vital® Delta as the best vitamin K2 raw material after extensive stability tests with various K2 raw materials in various compositions.
