Vitamins A/D/K #60

Vitamin A also plays a role in visual function, and immune functions, and helps with the absorption of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) plays an integral role in calcium metabolism and bone health as well as healthy immune defense. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) is a long chain vitamin, which is an optimal form available in dietary supplements as it may stay in the body for a longer period of time. Vitamin K2 supports the deposition of calcium into bone, it also has a regulatory effect on Vitamin A and D by activating the proteins in both vitamins and with regard to osteoclast and osteoblast activity. When vitamin K2 is deficient or not well used in our bodies, bone structure and function can be compromised.
