  • Benefits

    • Calcium Utilization: Helps direct calcium to bones and teeth while preventing deposition in soft tissues. (1)
    • Bone Strength: Supports bone mineralization by activating proteins involved in bone formation. (2)
    • Synergistic Action: Works effectively with Vitamin D3 and calcium for overall skeletal support. (3)

  • Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone)

    Vitamin K2 is an essential fat-soluble vitamin known for its role in regulating calcium distribution in the body. It activates key proteins that bind calcium to bones, ensuring proper mineralization.

    Unlike calcium and Vitamin D3 alone, Vitamin K2 helps prevent calcium accumulation in soft tissues such as arteries. When used together in formulations like CalD K2, it supports balanced calcium metabolism, bone strength, and cardiovascular health. (4)

Scientific Research and Studies

research and science

Bone Mineralization & Calcium Regulation

Study Design: A controlled clinical study assessed the effects of Vitamin K2 supplementation on bone health markers.

Findings: Vitamin K2 improved bone mineralization and supported proper calcium utilization, reducing the risk of calcium misplacement. (5)

Bone Density & Fracture Risk Reduction

Study Design: A randomized, controlled trial evaluated the effects of Vitamin K2 supplementation on bone mineral density over 3 years.

Findings: Vitamin K2 supplementation significantly improved bone mineral density and reduced age-related bone loss, helping lower fracture risk. (6)

Osteocalcin Activation & Calcium Utilization

Study Design: Clinical research examined the role of Vitamin K2 in activating osteocalcin, a protein essential for calcium binding in bones.

Findings: Vitamin K2 enhances osteocalcin activation, improving calcium deposition in bones and reducing calcium accumulation in soft tissues. (7)
