What does Vitamin D3 do?
Vitamin D3 plays a vital role in our bone health. Without this vitamin, we cannot absorb calcium from our diet which is essential for strong bones and teeth, as well as a healthy, balanced immune system.
Low vitamin D levels are very common in the UK population during the winter months. Strong sun (over UV3 index) to exposed skin with no sun lotion on can produce up to 20,000 iu in 30 mins. This can only happen in the UK in the summer from April to September, 11AM-4PM (your shadow needs to be shorter than you to make vitamin D). Our 4000 iu sub-lingual tablets are like a daily dose of 5 minutes of strong sunshine.
Why is vitamin K2 added?
When vitamin D levels are optimal you maximally absorb calcium from your diet. Vitamin K2 effectively turns on bone cells which then pull calcium into the bone, which is critical for long term bone strength and density.
