How It Works

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 is the bioactive form of vitamin D, which plays a critical role in structural support, strengthening bones, muscles and teeth. In the body, vitamin D plays an important role in absorbing and regulating blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, and helping to build strong bones. It works with other vitamins, minerals and hormones to promote bone mineralization. Additionally, vitamin D activates both branches of the immune system, boosting your immune defenses. Vitamin D is essential for the activation of immune cells needed to seek out and destroy infectious invading microbes. Without this activation, infections such as influenza and the common cold appear to be more severe and longer lasting. Studies show that vitamin D also influences mood. Plus, vitamin D plays a crucial role in growth and development, physical fitness, and the health of the nervous system and kidneys.

Research suggests that vitamin D levels in the elderly tend to be about half that of younger people. The elderly are more susceptible to vitamin D deficiencies as a result of insufficient vitamin D in their diets, from taking medications that disrupt vitamin D metabolism, or simply not getting enough sunlight. Others at a risk of vitamin D deficiency are alcoholics, those with malabsorption problems, and people who live in areas with little sunlight.

Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 supports healthy circulation and plays a vital role in healthy blood clotting and bone metabolism. Vitamin K2 also facilitates calcium absorption and proper mineralization. Vitamin K2 helps ensure proper calcium utilization in the body by working to maintain optimal mineral balance between the muscles, blood and bones. Vitamin K2 guides calcium to the places it’s needed most (your bones and teeth), and that’s extra important with age. By guiding calcium to the right target tissues, vitamin K2 helps prevent undesired calcium deposits in arteries or soft tissues. And it stays in the blood longer, boosting optimal blood flow. Our vitamin K2 is MK-7 (Menaquinone-7), a superior, more bioavailable form of vitamin K2 than other forms.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is loaded with monounsaturated fats (a type of healthy fat) that support healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Olive oil may also help improve cognitive function and enhance bone mineralization, which is vital for bone strength and density. Plus, olive oil contains natural antioxidants that help support a healthy inflammatory response. Our unflavored olive oil makes this supplement easy to add to beverages.
