To celebrate World Vegan Day on the 1st of November, this month we are focusing on our Vegan Vitamins D3 and K2 2500 IU food supplement.
With our other D3 and K2 supplements, both Vitamins D3 and K2 2500 IU and Vitamins D3 and K2, the vitamin D3 powder is sourced from Lanolin, which is a natural wax extracted from sheep’s wool. Our vegan vitamin D3 is sourced 100% from algae, providing a bioavailable source of vitamin D3 without any animal-derived ingredients.
By offering the same amount of vitamin D3 and K2 that you would find in our non-vegan Vitamins D3 and K2 2500 IU, we are able to offer a vegan option that delivers these two vitamins in the right balance for bone health and immune system support.
Vitamin D3 and K2 are often recommended to be taken together because they have complementary roles in the body, especially in relation to bone and heart health. Here is how they work and what they do:
H2: Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble.
- Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium from the gut making it available for various functions, particularly bone health.
- It is essential for maintaining strong and healthy bones and can help with conditions such as osteoporosis.
- Vitamin D3 also plays a role in supporting the immune system and may help reduce risk of infections such as colds.
Vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is also a fat soluble:
- Vitamin K2 is involved in the regulation of calcium in the body. It activates proteins that help direct calcium to the bones and teeth, reducing the risks of calcium deposits in arteries and soft tissues.
- By preventing excess calcium from accumulating in blood vessels, vitamin K2 may support cardiovascular health and reduce risk of arterial calcification.
- It also contributes to bone health by ensuring calcium is used where it is needed- in the bones.
The teamwork between vitamin D3 and K2 is essential for optimal calcium utilisation in the body. Vitamin D3 helps absorb calcium from the digestive system, while vitamin K2 directs the calcium to the bones and prevents it from accumulating in unwanted areas such as blood vessels. This is important because, while calcium is vital for bone health, too much circulating in the blood stream can contribute to issues such as arterial calcification, which can be associated with cardiovascular disease.
Why choose Vegan Vitamin D3 and K2 2500 IU
There are also some unique benefits to our Vegan D3 and K2 2500IU Supplement:
Environmental Concerns- Vegan versions of vitamins are derived from plant-based sources, which contribute to ethical beliefs regarding animal welfare.
Health Considerations- Vegan versions of vitamins can be beneficial for individuals with dietary restrictions or those following a vegan or vegetarian diet. They provide a way to meet essential nutrient requirements without relying on animal products.
Or some people may have allergies or sensitivities to animal derived ingredients making vegan options better for them.
In closing, we are excited to bring you our top pick for this month, the Vegan D3 and K2 2500 IU supplement. We believe it is a game changer for those seeking a plant-based, ethical and effective way to support their health.
