While vitamin D has long been known to assist calcium absorption, it is vitamin K, through its carboxylation of osteocalcin, which guides this calcium to bones and prevents MCTs are a great way to deliver pure, tasteless and odorless liquid vitamin K2 and D3, which easily combines with any beverage.

Natural medium chain triglycerides have physical properties that allow them to be readily absorbed without additional emulsifying agents. Thus, vitamin K and vitamin D not only share similar qualities but they also act synergistically with one another within the body.5 Ortho Molecular’s Vitamin D3 with K2 liquid utilizes a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) delivery system providing 10 mcg of vitamin K2 (as MK-7) and 1000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving.

In addition, vitamin K has been found to help maintain bone mineral density by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, a cell that breaks down the bone matrix2. Through its activation of the protein osteocalcin, vitamin K helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the mineral matrix in bone. A group of naturally occurring and structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K is essential for the proper utilization of calcium.

New research is focusing on the synergistic relationship between vitamin K (specifically, vitamin K2) and vitamin D3, especially in terms of bone strength1. A growing body of research shows that when it comes to bone health, ensuring optimal intake of vitamin K is a critical piece of the puzzle.
