Recent studies indicate that Vitamin D3 may support healthy insulin action and glucose metabolism and may have a positive impact on immune function. Vitamin K2, likewise, is beneficial in the areas of bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin K is critical for the formation of a healthy, strong bone matrix. Bone quality is dependent on the presence of adequate Vitamin K. Vitamin K's role in arterial health revolves around its ability to support proper calcium metabolism in vascular structures.
