Vitamin D + K2 from Thorne is a liquid formula based on fractionated coconut oil. Fractionated coconut oil is an oil made from medium chain fatty acids of coconut oil. In English this is called Medium Chain Triglycerides. That is why the oil is also known as MCT coconut oil. This contains 25 micrograms of vitamin D3 in the form of cholecalciferol and 200 micrograms of vitamin K2 in the form of menatetrenone (MK-4) per daily dose. In addition, the product only contains mixed tocopherols (vitamin E). These function as antioxidants and protect the MCT coconut oil from the influence of oxygen. The product is economical in use and contains 600 daily doses per package.
About vitamin D3 in Vitamin D + K2
Vitamin D is a special case within the definition of vitamins. Vitamins are defined as substances that the human body cannot produce itself. They are therefore substances that we have to obtain from our food and drink every day. But with vitamin D, things are different. Our body produces vitamin D itself under the influence of sunlight. In many cases, the body's own production of vitamin D is too low. Our body cannot produce enough vitamin D itself. In this case, we are dependent on the supply from external sources (source), such as food. However, this sounds easier than it is. Only very few (plant-based) foods contain easily absorbable and usable vitamin D for your body. Supplementing with suitable nutritional supplements, such as this Vitamin D + K2 from Thorne can then be useful.
About Vitamin K in Vitamin D + K2
Vitamin K contributes to the proper course of blood clotting and helps with the absorption of minerals, such as calcium, in the bone tissue. The vitamin occurs in two different types, namely vitamin K1 and vitamin K2. Vitamin K1, also called phylloquinone, occurs in our food. For example, it is found in larger quantities in green leafy vegetables, but also in other vegetables, fruit, milk and dairy products, meat, eggs and grains. Vitamin K2, also called menaquinone, also occurs in our food. Small amounts of vitamin K2 are found in liver, cheese and egg yolk.
However, our body produces the largest amount of vitamin K2 itself. Bacteria in the large intestine can produce vitamin K2. The human body can do this from about 3 months. However, the vitamin K that you produce yourself is often not enough for your daily needs. It is therefore important that this is supplemented by means of food or supplementation, such as this Vitamin D + K2 from Thorne .
