Vitamin D3/Vitamin K2 10,000iu/180mcg Capsule

Vitamin D is the name given to a vitally important group of micro-nutrients. When activated, vitamin D becomes a potent steroid hormone; switching our genes on or off, and instructing our cells to what work to do. The effects are varied and profound. It is structurally similar too steroid hormones such as testosterone, cholesterol, and cortisol (though vitamin D3 itself is a secosteroid). There are two forms of vitamin D that are important in humans; vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D2 is synthesized by plants, while vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans in the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet-B (UVB) 0 rays from sunlight. Foods may be fortified with vitamin D2 or D3, although humans should not rely on synthetic food fortification as a good source of Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 has many health benefits when levels remain optimal and do not become deficient. It helps reduce chronic inflammation, control blood sugar, optimize immune function, improve blood pressure, and assist in the treatment of obesity as well as some cancers.
