Product Description
Description
Support optimal bone, heart, and immune health with this convenient liquid supplement containing vitamins D and K2.
This easy-to-use liquid formula combines the benefits of both vitamin D and vitamin K2 (MK-4), which work synergistically to provide enhanced support for bone, muscle, cardiovascular, and immune health throughout all stages of life.
Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 directs calcium to the bones and away from soft tissues like blood vessels and kidneys. The well-studied MK-4 form of vitamin K2 has been shown to have a more powerful impact on bone health compared to vitamin K1.
Research has demonstrated that the combination of vitamins D and K, along with minerals, helped maintain healthy artery elasticity in postmenopausal women, compared to groups receiving either minerals with vitamin D alone or a placebo. This liquid supplement also offers nutritional support for oncology patients.
The vitamin D/K2 liquid is suspended in medium chain triglyceride oil and preserved with mixed tocopherols for optimal absorption and stability.
Directions
Take 2 drops one to three times daily or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Invert the bottle to dispense individual drops, which can be added to food or mixed into beverages. Do not refrigerate.
