The role of vitamins D and K

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, as well as to the maintenance of normal calcium levels in the blood. It supports the proper functioning of muscles and the immune system. It also contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus and plays a role in the process of cell division. Obese adults are a group at particularly high risk of vitamin D deficiency; the main cause, in this case, is insufficient skin synthesis, a process that normally provides about 80% of the human body's vitamin D needs. In obese people, the bioavailability of vitamin D is also reduced, as the vitamin is stored in adipose tissue (fat); therefore, it is essential to ensure an adequate intake through diet.

Like vitamin D, vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of bone health. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin K2 on its own; therefore, the need for this vitamin is covered mainly through diet and, to a lesser extent, through synthesis by intestinal bacteria. D-Vitum forte ULTRA contains vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7 or MK-7). This is important because this specific chemical form of vitamin K is involved in bone metabolism.

D-Vitum forte ULTRA contains flaxseed oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Alpha-linolenic acid contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 2 g of ALA.
