You may be surprised to learn that vitamin D is completely different from most other vitamins. It actually acts as a hormone that is produced out of cholesterol when your skin is exposed to the sun. There are two major forms of supplemental vitamin D: D3 and D2. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is formed naturally in the skin when exposed to sunlight, is present in significant levels in certain fish and eggs, and is also commercially made from lanolin, a sustainable source derived from lambs’ wool. It is approximately three times more potent than vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol), and it also binds to the protein receptors in your body much more effectively. This can help to maintain levels in your circulatory system and can more effectively increase blood level concentrations for optimal health.
For this reason, vitamin D is often referred to as the “sunshine” vitamin. However, sun exposure is often inadequate (depending where on the globe you live), making it necessary for people to get more of it from the foods they eat or from their vitamin D3 supplements. This is important, because vitamin D3 is absolutely essential for optimal health. Yet unfortunately, over 50% are chronically deficient in this essential nutrient.
As they are with vitamin K2. Although it is very rare in the Western diet and doesn’t receive much mainstream attention, K2 can play an essential role in many aspects of your health. Best derived from fermented foods, research suggests that the body absorbs 10 times more vitamin K-2, in the form of MK-7, than vitamin K-1.
One of its most important functions is to regulate calcium deposition —a.k.a. ensuring calcium goes to your bones and not in blood vessels and kidneys. A good analogy for this is that for calcium, vitamin D is the traffic, and vitamin K is the traffic cop telling it where to go. They work synergistically to ensure calcium gets to where it’s needed and doesn’t build up in unwanted areas.
In the long run, studies show it reduces the risk of heart disease, prevents osteoporosis and fractures, and improves dental health. Plenty of good enough reasons to add it to your diet! Unfortunately, only a handful of foods contain significant amounts of this vitamin, and deficiency is extremely common.
