MK-7 from natto beans Natural Factors Vitamin K2 contains MK-7, the most bioavailable form of vitamin K derived naturally from natto beans. Each dose provides 24-hour protection by guiding calcium toward the bones and teeth where it is needed most, and away from the arteries where it causes damage. Uses & Benefits Helps in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth Helps guide calcium into bones Inhibits the calcification of arteries and other soft tissues Provides double-action support for bone and vascular health Ideal to use alongside calcium and vitamin D supplementation Feature Summary Natural Factors Vitamin K2 features vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), an advanced, fat-soluble form of vitamin K that serves multiple functions in the body. Vitamin K2 plays a critical role in protecting the heart, as well as in building strong bones. As a director of calcium, vitamin K2 guides the mineral toward tissues where it is needed, such as bones, and away from tissues where it could have a negative effect, such as arteries. Only K2 in the form of MK-7 has been shown to offer 24-hour protection in a single daily dose. Other commercially available subtypes of K2, such as MK-4, only last 4–6 hours in the body and are required in much larger dosages to be effective.The K family consists of a trio of vitamins: K1 (phylloquinone), K2 (menaquinone), and K3, a synthetic form of the vitamin. K3 has been shown to have toxic effects on the liver. While vitamin K1 is easy to obtain from green leafy vegetables, the bacteria in our intestines do not convert enough to K2 to help with atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. K2 is found in the diet in natto, a fermented soybean food popular in Japan, as well as in butter, meat, egg yolks, and organ meats from animals that are grass fed rather than grain fed. As grass-fed animal products are rare nowadays and a taste for natto is difficult to acquire for most Westerners, a vitamin K2 supplement is the best way to ensure you are getting an optimal daily dose of this important nutrient.Most people will have difficulty meeting their daily requirement of vitamin K2 through diet alone. Natural Factors Vitamin K2 provides highly bioavailable MK-7, naturally derived from natto beans, making it easy to get more of this important nutrient. LABEL INFORMATIONMedicinal ingredients Each vegetarian capsule contains: Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) (MK-7) (natto bean) 100 mcg Non-medicinal IngredientsMicrocrystalline cellulose, vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).Recommended useSupports bone and vascular health.

Ideal for women of child-bearing age, this vitamin helps manage hormonal symptoms.

Natural Factors Vitamin B2 provides 100 mg of riboflavin per daily dose, helping to metabolize proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, while providing antioxidant support.   Uses & Benefits Supports proper eye function Helps prevent headaches and migraines Reduces eye light sensitivity Involved in the production of energy Feature Summary Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and maintenance of health as it functions as a coenzyme in energy metabolism. Riboflavin is also necessary for red blood cell formation, antibody production, cell respiration and growth, and works as an antioxidant to track down and destroy free radicals in the body. Riboflavin functions in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, enabling the body to release energy from these nutrients and making them available to tissue cells. It also supports healthy vision and helps maintain healthy skin. As riboflavin is not stored in the body, it must be added in the diet daily either through food sources or through supplementation. Unfortunately, vitamin B2 is not available in a wide variety of foods nor is it present in large quantities in foods, so a deficiency is common in those who have unbalanced diets. Natural Factors Vitamin B2 contains 100 mg of riboflavin per tablet to help in the maintenance of good health and especially in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

New Roots Vitamin K2+D3 liquid Liquid · K2 120 mcg · D3 1,000 IU per Dose · 525 Drops / 131 DosesImmunity DESCRIPTION Critical Nutrients for a Strong Skeletal System Stimulates calcium assimilation for bone building Reduces risk of osteoporosis Beneficial for immune-system performance Bones support us; connect to form joints essential for mobility; and protect vital organs, the brain, and the spinal cord. They also serve as organs themselves, with the production of both red and white blood cells critical for immunity, vitality, and more. Additionally, the skeletal system is the storage reservoir for 99% of the body’s calcium and 85% of its phosphorus; bone tissue selectively releases these nutrients when required throughout the body. The importance of adequate dietary and supplemental calcium for skeletal health is well recognized; however, research regarding calcium absorption has identified the biologically active vitamins K2 and D3 as critical factors for bone building and renewal. New Roots Herbal’s Vitamin K2+D3 features 120 μg of K2 as menaquinone-⁠7 (MK7) and 1000 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), formulated in a matrix of medium-chain triglycerides. This tandem of nutrients is critical for healthy bones, teeth, and immune performance. Here’s how it benefits your health… Vitamin K2 also serves to activate osteocalcin, the critical compound within osteoblasts (bone-building cells) which locks down calcium from the bloodstream to bone mass. Vitamin D3 enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption into bones for a healthy skeletal system. It also stimulates the synthesis of osteocalcin, the critical cofactor that drives the assimilation of calcium into bones. Our format features a convenient dropper which allows you to tailor the dosage to suit your personal therapeutic requirements. DIRECTIONS OF USE Adults: Take 4 drops daily or as directed by your health-care practitioner. INGREDIENTS Each drop contains: Vitamin K2 (all trans-menaquinone-⁠7) 30 mcg Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) (250 IU) 6.25 mcg Bottle contains approximately 525 drops.

Platinum Naturals Vitamin D3 1000 i.u. Vitamin D3 is essential for a healthy immune system, cardiovascular health, bone health and many other systems in the body. Getting enough vitamin D is a challenge in northern climates. Platinum Naturals’ Vitamin D3 provides you with the recommended daily dose of 1,000 IUs in coconut oil for easy absorption. Stronger Bones Supports cardiovascular health Supports immune function Superior Nutrient Absorption™ Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). D3 is the form that we produce in our skin when we are exposed to sunlight. Studies that compared D2 and D3 have reported that D3 is more biologically active in raising vitamin D levels in the blood, thus providing the health benefits associated with adequate vitamin D levels. Getting enough vitamin D Getting enough vitamin D is a challenge, especially in northern climates. In Canada, we don’t get enough sunlight exposure from October through April to produce vitamin D synthesis in the skin.Evolution has given us the ability to produce vitamin D naturally in our bodies. You can synthesize it just under your skin with sun exposure to your face, arms, hands, or back without sunscreen.However the seasons, geographic latitude, time of day, cloud cover, skin cover, skin colour, smog, and sunscreen affect how much UV rays you absorb and synthesize.It is recommended that all Canadians supplement with vitamin D throughout the year. Preventing illness The latest research indicates that Vitamin D may help strengthen and regulate your immune system, increase bone mineral density, and support cardiovascular health and the list of potential benefits continues to grow. Vitamin D helps both to prevent and reduce the progression of osteoporosis.It may also be effective against bacterial and viral infections. Easy absorption for better results Vitamin D is one of the fat soluble vitamins along with E, A, and K. A base of fat or oil is an ideal carrier to supply vitamin D to the body.Platinum Naturals’ Vitamin D3 provides you with 1,000 IU of vitamin D suspended in medium chain triglycerides (MCT), a form of fatty acid derived from coconut oil that increases the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
