Why vitamin D?
Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that plays an important role in the immune system, bones and proper muscle function. Along with oily fish, the best source of vitamin D is the sun (this is why vitamin D is often called the “sunshine vitamin”). Research shows that many people may be deficient in vitamin D. We are particularly vulnerable in the northern latitudes, where we are not exposed to enough sun during the winter months.
D3 + K2 act together:
D3 + K2 are two vitamins that could be said to work in symbiosis. Vitamin D contributes to the absorption and utilization of calcium. Calcium is in turn a mineral that is important for the maintenance of a normal bone structure. Vitamin K also interacts with calcium and vitamin D in the body by contributing to the maintenance of a normal bone structure and bone density. Vitamin D is also essential for the normal function of the immune system and muscles, while vitamin K contributes to blood clotting.
Fat-soluble:
Both vitamins D and K are so-called fat-soluble vitamins, which means they need fat to be absorbed by the body. That's why we at Upgrit have chosen to mix D3 + K2 in MCT oil, which ensures that the vitamins are absorbed in the absolute best way.
Vitamin D contributes to:

normal absorption/utilization of calcium and phosphorus
-
normal calcium levels in the blood
-
to maintain normal bone structure
-
to maintain normal muscle function
-
to maintain normal teeth
-
normal functioning of the immune system
-
Vitamin D has a role in the cell division process
Vitamin K contributes to:
-
normal blood clotting and maintaining normal bone structure
