K2-D3 Matrix

K2-D3 Matrix softgels are designed for optimal delivery of vitamins K2 and D3 into the body. Together, these vitamins work synergistically to support heart health, bone health, immune function and more. Vitamin K2 is a nutrient that is now well-known to be crucial for the proper distribution of calcium into the skeletal system and away from the cardiovascular system. It does this through its ability to activate two proteins, osteocalcin and matrix-GLA protein, thereby shunting calcium in the proper direction. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the preferred form of vitamin D for optimal bioavailability and function within the body. Classically, vitamin D3 is known for its ability to upregulate calcium absorption from the gut. However, research has discovered that it is imperative for countless actions within the body and it is needed for proper immune function, mood health, cardiovascular function, skin health and proper gene expression. In fact, many experts now refer to vitamin D3 as a hormone because of these many actions and its ability to actually modify genes within the body. Each softgel in Cyto-Matrix's K2-D3 Matrix features 120mcg of vitamin K2 in its active MK-7 form, as well as 1000IU of vitamin D3. Vitamin K2 is found as K2Vital®, the patented non-soy derived MK-7 that is microencapsulated with a starch bilayer for superior protection and stability. K2-D3 sofgels contain a medium chain triglyceride oil base sourced from organic coconut oil to encourage optimal absorption and bioavailability.
