*Vitamins D and K* are both fat-soluble vitamins and play a central role in calcium metabolism.
*Function???*🤔
✅One of Vitamin D’s main functions is to ensure adequate levels of calcium in your blood.
☑️Vitamin K promotes calcium accumulation in your bones and teeth, while reducing its accumulation in soft tissues such as blood vessels.
*Why take Vitamin D and K together?*🤔
✅It's crucial that these vitamins be taken together because supplementing vitamin K with D helps the body use calcium properly to build bone instead of depositing it dangerously in arteries and soft tissue.
✅Low vitamin D and K status are both associated with an increased cardiovascular risk.
*Sources???*🤔
✅Vitamin D is abundant in fatty fish ,fish oil, eggs, meat, but it’s also produced by your skin when it’s exposed to sunlight.
☑️Vitamin K is found in leafy greens(spinach broccoli), fermented legumes and vegetables, as well as in some fatty, animal-sourced foods, such as egg yolk, liver and cheese.
