VITAMIN D3, K2 & MAGNESIUM

Taken together, animal and human studies suggest that optimal concentrations of both vitamin D and vitamin K are beneficial for bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin D3 and magnesium are also vital for your bone health. Without magnesium, Vitamin D is neither useful nor safe. Low vitamin D and low magnesium levels are associated with chronic diseases. Magnesium intake is low in populations who consume modern, processed-food diets.

79% of us do not get enough magnesium, and magnesium deficiency can induce a wide range of clinical complications, including: 

• Painful muscle spasms.
• Osteoporosis.
• Fibromyalgia.
• Irregular heartbeats.
• Headaches.

People eating a contemporary diet typically consume little magnesium. Your risk of not getting enough vitamin D is greatly reduced by a high magnesium intake. Vitamin D is neither safe nor helpful without magnesium.

Magnesium slows dementia and reduces your chances of cancer. A high intake of magnesium is significantly associated with a reduced risk of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D and magnesium deficiency can also lead to mental health issues & depression. Without magnesium, Vitamin D cannot be metabolized.
