Vitamin D3 and K2 (Chewable)

Our Vitamin D3 and K2 supplement uses a chewable delivery system and includes Vitamin K2 for optimal absorption. Read below to find out the benefits that Vitamin D3 and K2 offer.

Chewable Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplement

Feel uncertain if you are not getting enough Vitamin D in your diet and looking for a quality vitamin d3 supplement for optimal absorption? If so, then you have come to the right place. We created the Better Body Sports Chewable Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplement for optimal absorption into the body. With supplementation of these two ingredients in a chewable form, you are increasing your chance of seeing the benefits of a vitamin D3 supplement.

Benefits of a Vitamin D3 Supplement

By now we have all heard that D3 is a supplement we may want to take and most likely, you are already receiving a small dose of vitamin d supplementation. Vitamin D is fortified in milk because at one time we needed it to protect against a wide spread of illnesses. But while you may already supplement through milk consumption, it is most likely not enough to be helpful for today’s lifestyle.

The first benefit of a Vitamin D3 supplement is that it can help combat Vitamin D deficiency. With today’s indoor lifestyle, we do not get near the amount of sunlight that we once did. Sun exposure is one way that we increase our levels of Vitamin D3 in the body.

While getting more sun is a good idea, we should do so in moderation as too much can be a bad thing. The risk of health issues is not worth the vitamin d level increase we receive. Therefore, we should look for D3 dense foods and quality supplements to make sure we are getting enough to eliminate a Vitamin D deficiency.

How Much Vitamin D3 Should You Take?

Our Chewable Vitamin D3 and K2 supplement provides 2000iu of Vitamin D3 in each tablet. For an exact recommendation, speak to a medical professional, but the Vitamin D council recommends 2000iu daily for maintenance. Higher dosages may be recommended if you have a deficiency or for ergogenic purposes.

What are Vitamin K Supplements?

Vitamin K is the vitamin we hear least often. Those who know about this vital vitamin are most likely individuals who suffer from excessive bleeding otherwise known as “thin blood.” But the fat-soluble vitamin K plays an important role in calcium absorption and other health factors.

Some people who suffer from a Vitamin K2 deficiency can visibly see their condition through excessive bruising because the blood takes longer than it should to clot. A Vitamin K2 supplement may help with this condition since studies have shown it to help clot the blood.

How Vitamin D3 and K2 Work Together

When combining Vitamin K2 with Vitamin D3 supplementation, there is a greater chance of calcium absorption for increased bone mineralization. This synergistic supplement formula uses two steps to work on increasing bone density.

1. The combination ensures that we absorb calcium without difficulty.
2. Vitamin K2 Activates osteocalcin, which is the protein that takes calcium and links it up with bone to cause bone calcification.

Through these two processes, and perhaps others, Vitamin D and Vitamin K supplementation may increase bone health and improve bone strength.

Vitamin D3 and K2 Impact on Diabetes and Glucose Levels

Research has shown Vitamin D3 and K2 to increase insulin resistance, especially in those who are suffering from a Vitamin D3 deficiency. While it may be because the lifestyle that leads to type 2 diabetes is low in micronutrient dense foods and sunlight, it still may affect blood sugar levels for those making better lifestyle choices.

Vitamin D Role in Immune system

Immune health is a top concern in today’s world and having enough Vitamin D supports optimal immune function. A Vitamin D supplement may help when used with vitamin D rich foods and the right amount of sun to encourage a stronger immune system.

While it may help in the overall sense, this does not mean that a Vitamin D supplement will help with a specific immune system condition. Always check with your Health Professional about the appropriate treatment for any issues related to a compromised immune system.

Vitamin D For Fighting Anxiety

You will often hear another person suggest that a stressed-out individual go outside for some fresh air and sunlight. Well, getting more Vitamin D may be one reason it is a popular recommendation. Some research suggests that having enough Vitamin D may positively affect anxiety and depression.

While a supplement is not the cure, it may be helpful as a part of a lower stress lifestyle that includes healthy food, regular exercise, and adequate sunlight.

Vitamin D and Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular disease is a big-time problem and anything we can do to help prevent it, is something worth considering. Researchers have shown Vitamin D to play a positive role in cardiovascular health and may protect against heart disease. Cardiovascular disease is a very complicated topic and ensuring you are making healthy choices is the best way to limit your risk.

Vitamin D supplementation still requires more research to determine if it will be helpful against cardiovascular disease. This is why using our Vitamin D3 and K2 supplement should be done in conjunction with a nutrient rich diet and the right amount of sun exposure.

Vitamin D For Weight Loss

We have talked about Vitamin D supplementation and how it affects insulin resistance, and this can play a role in weight loss. We need further research for a more conclusive understanding. However, when used with healthy food choices, the right amount of calories, and regular exercise, Vitamin D3 supplementation can play a positive role in weight management.

Vitamin D and Testosterone Levels

As we age, maintaining proper testosterone levels feels like an uphill battle, and it is. Fortunately, there are things we can do to keep our testosterone from sliding downhill at a fast rate. Making sure you have enough active Vitamin D is one of those things you can do.

Vitamin D supplementation may help increase testosterone levels but should be used in conjunction with strength training and maintaining healthy body fat levels.

Why a Chewable Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplement?

Both Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 are fat-soluble vitamins. This means that they are better absorbed with fatty acids and do not excrete from the body when not used. Maximum absorption is important for fat-soluble vitamins because too much can lead to toxicity.

Our Chewable Vitamin D3 and K2 supplement gives you the recommended amount in a form that we can consume along with a meal. Chewing your supplement allows for your saliva to interact with the vitamins just like taking a bite of food. We recommend you eat a few bites of food before chewing up your D3 & K2 supplement, and then continuing with your food.

How To Take Your Chewable Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplement

Take 1 chewable tablet 1-3 times per day or as recommended by a health professional. Consume with meals and chew tablets entirely before swallowing.

• Use with our Plant Based Multivamin for a complete vitamin and mineral stack
• Use with Testify for a natural male optimizing stack

*K2 supplementation is not recommended if you are taking any blood-thinning medications or suffer from blood clot related conditions. Do not take this or any other K2 dietary supplement before speaking first with your health professional.
