Description
Mega K2 Plus
Available in 60 Count Vegetarian Capsules
Magnesium (as Di-Magnesium Malate (Albion®)) is an essential
mineral. It must be taken in through the diet however; with over
processed food and depleted soil it is difficult to get the optimal
daily intake. Magnesium supplementation is a way to support your
daily intake. Magnesium promotes the absorption and metabolism
of calcium and is responsible for the activation and function of 325
enzymes that affect various metabolic processes and physiological
functions.
A Dietary Supplement with Vitamins A, D, and K2.
Mega K2 Plus is a dietary supplement that supports:
• Bone structure, density and integrity*
• Proper bone remodeling*
• Calcium utilization*
• Cardiovascular Function*
About the ingredients:
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin with multiple functions in
the body. It is required for normal development, growth and
maintenance of the skeleton throughout life. Vitamin A supports
the number and activity of osteoclast cells which break down bone
tissue, an ongoing process of skeletal maintenance called bone
remodeling.* Bone remodeling is a natural way the body removes old
or weakened bone tissue in order to make room for new, stronger
tissue.* This process is critical to fracture repair and retaining bone
density.* Vitamin A also plays a role in stimulating osteoblasts
(bone building cells) to secrete proteins that are required for
bone mineralization, including the K2 dependent protein called
osteocalcin. Combined, Vitamins A and D support osteocalcin output
and the regulation of osteoclasts (bone breakdown cells) and
osteoblasts (bone building cells).*
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential
for maintaining normal calcium metabolism. It supports calcium
absorption in the gut and helps maintain adequate serum calcium
and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of
bone.* Vitamin D3 is also needed for proper bone growth and bone
remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts.* Without sufficient
Vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Research
shows that K2 partners with Vitamin D3 to inhibit the production
of osteoclast cells (cells that break down bone) in order to help
bone-building osteoblasts catch up to maintain a healthy balance.*
Vitamin D3 also supports cardiovascular function and blood pressure
within normal ranges.* It impacts heart health by supporting the
body’s natural cytokine production and vascular function.
Vitamin K2 known as menaquinone (MK-7®) is the form that has
been shown to support normal bone formation.* It is responsible for
the carboxylation of specific bone proteins that play a regulatory
role in bone metabolism.* For example, Vitamin K is required for
the activation of osteocalcin a Vitamin K dependant protein that
transports calcium from the blood to form a healthy bone matrix.
When Vitamin K2 is deficient or not well used in our bodies, bone
structure and function can be compromised.* Vitamin K2 not only
supports the deposition of calcium into bone, it also has a regulatory
effect on Vitamins A and D with regard to osteoclast and osteoblast
activity.* Factors that cause a Vitamin K deficiency include: poor
diet and the use of certain prescription drugs, as well as long term
use of antibiotics. The benefit of Vitamin K2 versus K1 is that it works
primarily outside of the liver in bones and blood vessels. In blood
vessels Vitamin K helps to maintain arterial elasticity.*
