The formula Nature's Plus Vitamin D3 / Vitamin K2 containing the synergistic effect of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2. Vitamin D belongs to the fat-soluble vitamins, which was discovered during the search of the cause of rickets and osteomalacia in children. It is the only one of the vitamins produced in the body, and more specifically, to the skin by the action of sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. Despite the body's ability to synthesize Vitamin D, however, the modern way of life (enclosed workplaces, chronic use of sun, atmospheric pollution, etc.) often requires taking vitamin D supplements, to ensure the orderly functioning and well-being of the organization. It is found in two forms, D2 and in the most active form, the D3 (cholecalciferol).

It is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus by the body for healthy bones, teeth and muscles and for strengthening the immune system. Adequate intake of vitamin D3 helps prevent osteoporosis, the proper functioning of the nervous system, reduces symptoms of skin diseases (psoriasis, dermatitis) and is a strong ally in the prevention of the common cold. Considered necessary for people who are frequently exposed to the sun, middle-aged, elderly, menopausal women, and people with metabolic disorders of vitamin D.

The vitamin K comprises vitamin K1, K2 and K3. While all K vitamins have similar effects, differ as to their absorption from the intestine, transport and distribution in tissues and their bioavailability. Thus, vitamin K2 presents better absorption and longer half-life, relative to R1 and R3. Vitamin K2 plays an important role in normal blood clotting, since it contributes to the production of functional protein factors that are synthesized in the liver, and is considered essential for the proper function of proteins synthesized in other tissues, such as osteocalcin (synthesized in osteoblasts) and MGP (synthesized in cartilage and vessel walls), which are involved in bone metabolism. Osteocalcin is responsible for the incorporation of calcium in the bones, while the MGP prevents the deposition of calcium in the arteries.

Numerous studies indicate the efficacy of vitamin K2 in the treatment of osteoporosis, and appears to act synergistically with drugs used to treat. Epilpeon significantly reduces the loss of bone mass and fracture risk in menopausal women with osteoporosis (especially in combination with vitamin D and calcium), in patients with Parkinson, Alzheimer, cirrhosis, anorexia nervosa, primary biliary cirrhosis, persons having stroke, and in people who take corticosteroids. It also prevents the formation of plaque, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the formula Vitamin D3 / Vitamin K2 of Nature's Plus is the most complete solution for the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with bone, skin and cardiovascular and immune system.
