Vit D3 + K2?
from Endocrine Deep Dives · host Gurbir Gill, MD
This episode explores the physiological synergy of combining vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 for optimal bone and cardiovascular health. We examine how vitamin D3 enhances intestinal calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 acts as a traffic director by activating osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein. This ensures that the newly absorbed calcium is directed into the bone matrix rather than being pathologically deposited in the arterial walls, providing a balanced approach to micronutrient supplementation in clinical practice.
