What Is It?
BoneShield™ K2 + D3 is a high-potency formula designed to optimize calcium utilization in the body. While Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption, Vitamin K2 ensures that calcium is directed to the bones and kept out of soft tissues like the arteries. This synergistic duo provides comprehensive support for skeletal strength, cardiovascular protection, and immune function.
Clinical Applications
- Promotes Bone Health: Activates osteocalcin to bind calcium to the bone matrix and helps maintain bone mineral density.
-
Supports Cardiovascular Health: Activates Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) to help prevent calcium from depositing in the arteries.
-
Boosts Immune Function: New evidence suggests both vitamins D and K play central roles in balancing immune health and inflammatory responses.
-
Maintains Cardiometabolic Balance: Supports healthy blood circulation and blood sugar metabolism already within normal levels.
The Power of MK-7 (MenaQ7® PRO)
This formula features MenaQ7® PRO, the most widely studied form of Vitamin K2 as MK-7.
-
Superior Bioavailability: MK-7 has been shown to have six times the activity of the common MK-4 form in the blood.
-
Longer Lasting: While MK-4 remains in the blood for about eight hours, MK-7 remains active for 72 hours, providing more consistent support for the body.
-
Targeted Delivery: The long side-chain of MK-7 allows it to reach soft tissues, bones, and arteries more effectively than Vitamin K1.
Why Combine D3 and K2?
Taking Vitamin D3 alone can increase calcium levels, but without Vitamin K2, that calcium may end up in the wrong places, such as joint spaces or arteries. By taking them together, you ensure that calcium is properly stored in the "mineral matrix" of the bone where it belongs.
