Food and Supplement Formulation: Vitamin D3, K2 and Magnesium for Bone and Heart Health

Vitamin D3 is widely recognized for its ability to facilitate calcium absorption, making it a cornerstone for supporting bone density and maintaining overall calcium balance. However, calcium needs more than just absorption — it must be guided to the right places within the body. This is where vitamin K2 comes into play. K2 activates calcium-binding proteins, such as osteocalcin, which help direct calcium into bones and teeth rather than into soft tissues like arteries, giving you support for both bone and heart health.

But the story doesn’t end there. Magnesium is the key to enabling the function of vitamin D3. It plays a pivotal role in the absorption and activation of vitamin D3, helping it efficiently regulate calcium absorption. New clinical data even shows that supplementing with magnesium and vitamin D3 leads to benefits above what vitamin D3 alone can provide.

Whether you’re a health professional, formulator or wellness enthusiast, this webinar will equip you with evidence-based solutions to maximize the potential of these essential nutrients for holistic health.

Register for this webinar to unlock the potential of vitamin K2, D3 and magnesium in food and supplement formulation for enhanced wellness.
