Product description Aroha Vitamin D3+K2
Vitamin D3+K2
Vitamin D3 is a sunshine vitamin. Our body produces it by itself thanks to specialized cells in the skin in contact with UVB radiation. This process works well during the summer if we regularly expose ourselves to sunlight. During the winter months, however, we need to get vitamin D3 in a different way - from food and supplements.
Each capsule contains a high dose of 4000 IU of vitamin D3. By comparison, a fair-skinned person exposed to direct sunlight around midday during the summer will produce approximately 10,000-20,000 IU (international units) in 30 minutes.
However, when supplementing vitamin D3, it is important to also supplement vitamin K2 to ensure proper calcium movement in the body.

Why we created vitamin D3 and K2
When looking for ways to improve our health and the health of our loved ones, we often come across functions in the body that are directly affected by vitamin D3 levels. We all know that vitamin D3 supports immunity, bone, muscle, and cell replication. But few know that hundreds of functions and thousands of positive gene expressions have been mapped that D3 affects. And unfortunately, most of us are deficient.
We've also found that in men, low vitamin D3 levels reduce testosterone. And we definitely don't want that.
Vitamin D3 and K2 have many functions in the body, but they mainly work as a team. D3 makes sure there's enough calcium in the blood, K2 helps store calcium in the bones instead of the soft tissues.
We started having blood tests every 3 months to monitor our vitamin D3 levels over the year. In the winter, even with daily supplementation, it was at the lower end of the recommended levels, and in the summer it rarely got to the optimal level. So we decided to create a supplement that combines both forms in a potent dose.
Vitamins D and K in nature
There is absolutely no question that it is best for us to maintain levels of both vitamins at optimal levels naturally.
Sunshine is absolutely ideal for the body, and most scientists and studies agree that exposing at least 30% of our body surface area to the sun around noon for 10-30 minutes several times a week will help us maintain optimal blood levels.
However, if you don't live in Australia or the Caribbean, either supplements or possibly foods that contain vitamin D3 are recommended: cod liver oil, salmon, tuna, beef liver, eggs or sardines.
You can get vitamin K2 from dairy products from free-range, grass-fed cows, liver or other organs, egg yolks, or fermented vegetables such as cabbage or kimchi.
