Why you'll love it

Your skeleton is almost completely renewed about every ten years via a complex and highly organised metabolic process involving specialised cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts help move Calcium into your bones, and osteoclasts move Calcium out of your bones and into your bloodstream. Menaquinone 7 (Vitamin K2) plays an important role in the production and activity of osteocalcin, a protein secreted by osteoblasts. Osteocalcin binds Calcium and incorporates it into your bones (a process known as mineralisation). Caruso’s Vitamin K2+D3 helps to support bone mineralisation and increase the metabolism of Calcium in bones. Caruso’s K2+D3 also helps your body to absorb dietary Calcium. A diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life. Menaquinone 7 (Vitamin K2) works together with Vitamin D3 to utilise Calcium in the maintenance of bone health! Your body requires a balance of vitamins and minerals to maintain bone health, Menaquinone 7 (Vitamin K2) and Vitamin D3 are essential. In fact, Menaquinone 7 (Vitamin K2) and D3 are biological partners which work synergistically in the process of calcium absorption and bone mineralisation. Vitamin D3 not only supports the absorption of Calcium from the diet, it also helps with the production of a protein called osteocalcin. Osteocalcin is involved in the bone mineralisation process in that it helps to incorporate calcium into the bone tissue. Menaquinone 7 (Vitamin K2) plays a role in activating osteocalcin. Therefore the two vitamins are both necessary for bone health, by ensuring that calcium is being absorbed into the bones optimally. Caruso’s Vitamin K2+D3 health indications: • Maintains bone strength • Maintains bone mass and bone density • Helps increase the metabolism of calcium in bones • Supports heart and artery health
