KD Ultra dietary supplements combine a full spectrum blend of vitamin K2 (all four chains: MK4, MK6, MK7 and MK9) with vitamin K1, vegan-sourced vitamin D3 and the enzyme lipase. This blend supports strong bones, cardiovascular health and immune function all in one supplement.
While vitamin K comes from food and some vitamin D from the sun, these methods are not sufficient to supply the full amount that the body needs. In fact, more than 40% of people are believed to be deficient in vitamin D. KD Ultra offers a complete dose of both essential vitamins in a single supplement.
There are two forms of vitamin K—K1 and K2. K1 is an important dietary form of vitamin K that’s found in green, leafy vegetables and some vegetable oils. Carlson Labs has found an answer to that “gap” in our food. Vitamin K2 is found in fewer food sources. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 is an enhanced, bioactive form of vitamin K that has superior retention in the body.
Without vitamin K2, calcium can’t adequately be processed in our body to help maintain strong, healthy bones. Vitamin K2 activates certain proteins, including osteocalcin and Matrix GLA Protein (MGP), which play a role in binding calcium to the bone matrix.
Vitamin K2 also supports cardiovascular system health by promoting healthy blood clotting and directing calcium out of the bloodstream and arteries and into the bones.
