✔️ Vitamin D supports the immune system

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that is involved in several important bodily processes. For example, it contributes to the maintenance of strong bones and proper blood clotting.

There are several forms of vitamin K, of which K1 and K2 are the most important. Vitamin K1 is mainly found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Vitamin K2 is mainly present in animal foods such as meat, cheese, eggs and (fermented) dairy products.

Vitamin K2 is more easily absorbed by the body than K1 and comes in several varieties. This supplement contains MK-7, a natural form of vitamin K2.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is good for the skeleton, helps the cell division process, contributes to normal calcium levels in the blood, is important for normal muscle function and supports the immune system and teeth.

Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 and D3. Vitamin D2 is found in plant sources such as fungi and mushrooms, while D3 is obtained from animal sources such as oily fish (salmon, herring and mackerel, among others), meat and eggs.

Vitamin D3 is more easily absorbed by the body than D2. In addition, D3 is the form that we produce in the skin from sunlight. In the winter months, however, the sun is too low in the Netherlands for us to make enough, so we are dependent on food and our stored reserves.

Vitamin D3 and K2 both play a role in calcium metabolism. Vitamin D contributes to the proper absorption of calcium from food.

Vitamin K is involved in the absorption of calcium into the bones and thus ensures that this mineral ends up in the right place in the body.
