CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

Optimal levels of Vitamin K2 is critical in preventing excess calcium buildup in the bloodstream, which can decrease the health of your kidneys as well as its overall functioning. In addition to this excess buildup, much of this calcium may also get deposited into your soft tissues and arteries, leading to compromised circulation and decreased cardiovascular health. Healthy levels of vitamin K2 helps to redirect excess levels of calcium and prevents calcium from accumulating in the walls of blood vessels.

IMMUNE SUPPORT

The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is present in virtually every cell in the human body, including the immune cells, such as T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. Within the innate and adaptive immune system, Vitamin-D plays a critical role as it pertains to regulating how our bodies react to pathogens, which lead to infections and diseases. Therefore, being deficient in Vitamin-D means a down-regulation in immune functioning and more vulnerability to the common cold, seasonal flu, and many other infections.

INSULIN SENSITIVITY

Studies have shown that low Vitamin D levels increase insulin resistance as well as being associated with Pancreatic Beta-cell dysfunction. This Beta-cell dysfunction results in low production of insulin, which in return furthers uncontrolled glucose levels.
