These three nutrients have unique and interconnected relationships that promote calcium regulation and bone growth. For example, vitamin D3 is necessary for the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract, while magnesium is needed to activate enzymes related to vitamin D3 metabolism. In fact, people who are brimming with magnesium are much less likely to be vitamin D3 deficient. Vitamin K2, on the other hand, is crucial for the proper distribution of calcium within the skeletal system and away from the cardiovascular system. It does this through its ability to activate two proteins, osteocalcin and matrix-GLA protein, thereby directing calcium in the right direction. As you can see, a deficiency in either of these nutrients can disrupt the body's overall balance and negatively impact bone health.
Cyto-Matrix's K2-D3 + Magnesium Bis-Glycinate Matrix provides a blend of magnesium bis-glycinate chelate and magnesium oxide. This blend of magnesium bis-glycinates is designed to provide a high dose of elemental magnesium in a well-absorbed and well-tolerated form, superior to magnesium salts. Vitamin D3 is provided in a vegan-friendly form sourced from the blue-green algae known as lichen. Vitamin K2 is found as K2Vital, a patented, non-soy-derived MK-7 that is microencapsulated with a starch bilayer for superior protection and stability. This formula deliberately excludes calcium. The K2-D3 Matrix is ideal for practitioners and patients who wish to avoid supplemental calcium or who have medical reasons to be concerned about excessive calcium intake. For individuals who choose to supplement with calcium separately, the K2-D3 Matrix allows for a tailored and adjustable calcium-to-magnesium ratio.
