D-VITUM FORTE D3 4000 j.m + K2 100mcg 60 Capsules

Bone tissue is a dynamic structure constantly undergoing remodelling processes. Some bone cells (osteoclasts) break down bone tissue by releasing calcium, while others (osteoblasts) create new bone tissue by building calcium into the bone, among other things. It is important to maintain a balance between these two processes, particularly because the breakdown of bone tissue increases with age. The balance of the bone metabolism can be ensured by supplementing the appropriate components with the diet.

Action of vitamin D and K

Vitamin D helps to maintain healthy bones, teeth and correct level of calcium in blood. It supports correct functioning of muscles and immune system. It assists in proper absorption/use of calcium and phosphorus and also takes part in the process of cell division. A particular group of people at risk of vitamin D deficiency are obese adults, in whom the main cause of vitamin D deficiency is insufficient skin synthesis, responsible for approximately 80% of the human body supply of this vitamin. Obese people also have a reduced bioavailability of vitamin D due to its storage in adipose tissue, which is why it is so important to provide an adequate amount of it with the diet.

Vitamin K, like vitamin D, helps to maintain healthy bones. The human body is not able to synthesise vitamin K2 on its own, so the demand for this vitamin is met mainly through the diet, and to a lesser extent through synthesis by intestinal bacteria. D-Vitum Forte Max 4000 IU. K2 contains in its composition vitamin K2-menachinon-7 (MK-7). This is important because it is this chemical form of vitamin K that is involved in bone metabolism.

The product D-Vitum Forte Max 4000 IU. K2 contains linseed oil with a high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Alpha-linolenic acid helps to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. Beneficial effects occur when 2 g of ALA is consumed daily.
