Supports bone and vascular health.
Vitamin D3 & K2 by Bioclinic Naturals contains the bioactive and highly
bioavailable D3 and K2 (Menaquinone-7) (MK-7)
(natto bean) forms. Combining vitamins D and K may provide even better support
than the individual nutrients for bone and vascular health.
Vitamin D and vitamin K have diverse and complementary physiological functions,
close associations with age-related and chronic diseases, and a strong body of
clinical evidence documenting widespread insufficiency and therapeutic
potential.
Vitamin D has both hormonal and non-hormonal functions, with vitamin D
receptors translating into a myriad of physiological actions, ranging from bone
metabolism to modulation of immune activity.
Vitamin D regulates the expression of hundreds of genes, influences cellular
proliferation and signaling, insulin production and sensitivity, and is a
critical inhibitor of several inflammatory pathways.
Vitamin K-dependent (VKD) proteins also have a nearly ubiquitous presence and
regulate diverse functions including cellular growth, arterial calcification
and bone metabolism.
Vitamins K and D have complementary physiological functions, and clinical
trials have shown synergistic benefit for both osteoporosis and cardiovascular
disease when used together.
Vitamin D3 & K2 Benefits:
• Provides clinically effective doses of vitamins D and K per softgel
• Vitamin D3 has the highest potency for increasing serum and storage levels of
vitamin D
• Uses the optimal form of vitamin K, vitamin K2 Menaquinone-7 (MK-7)
• MK-7 has the longest half-life and best extra-hepatic distribution of all
forms
• A D3 and MK-7 combination has a synergistic benefit compared to single
nutrient therapy
Vitamin D3 & K2 Ingredients in 1 softgel: Vitamin D3 1000 IU
(Cholecalciferol) and Vitamin K2 120 mcg (Menaquinone-7)(MK-7)(natto bean).

titanium dioxide), medium chain triglycerides (coconut), beeswax and soy
lecithin.
Suggested Use: Take 1 softgel per day or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
When taken with a thiazide medication (diuretic), vitamin D may increase the
risk for hypercalcemia. Also, vitamin D may improve insulin sensitivity and
lower blood pressure, requiring a reduction in dosage of hypertension and/or
diabetic medications. Vitamin K may antagonize the effect of some anticoagulant
medications, particularly warfarin, and should be taken together only with
medical supervision. Recent data suggests vitamin K supplementation may
stabilize INR’s and reduce adverse effects among those on vitamin K
antagonists, but combined use should be carefully monitored.
Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to using this product if you are
pregnant or nursing.
Keep out of reach of children.
