Healthy heart
Vitamin K2 contributes to proper functioning of cardiovascular system. We are not able to get enough of vitamin K2 from diet and thus we should ensure to get its sufficient amount from nutritional supplements. How does this vitamin, that has became a focus of research in the last decades, works in our body? Its main function is to ensure the movement of calcium in the body in a way that favors its deposition in the bones and teeth where it is needed and removes it from the places where we do not want it, such as from the arteries. Healthy arteries are able to guarantee that the heart is sufficiently oxygenated and supplied with blood. It is recommended to take vitamin K2 in triple combination with vitamin D3 and calcium OVOVITAL®.
Resilient vessels
People suffering from atherosclerosis carry a kind of time-bomb inside themselves. Because the narrowed blood vessels do not sufficiently supply the organs with the blood, it is only a matter of time before such situation results in heart attack or stroke. It is not unusual that such situation might lead to peripheral vascular disease, as well. The doctors believe that thanks to vitamin K2 your blood vessels can stay in a good shape. The role of vitamin K2 is to direct the calcium exactly there where it is needed in the body. It directs calcium into the bones and teeth and removes calcium from the vessels where it is not beneficial for the body. It is impossible to get sufficient quantity of vitamin K2 from the diet and it is advisable to take the vitamin in a form of nutritional supplements. Ideal is the combination of calcium OVOVITAL®, vitamin K2 and vitamin D3.
Strong muscles
The movement and adequate load is primarily important for the muscles. Neither excessive load nor passive way of live is good for the muscles. If we do not have enough movement and then suddenly we are running for the bus, it might be painful for our muscles. What to do in order to have strong and firm muscles? In addition to adequate exercise, regular intake of vitamin D3 is extremely important for the muscles. We can get vitamin D3 from sunlight, diet or from nutritional supplements. Vitamin D3 works in the muscles in two ways – it can affect their growth and by increased level of calcium it can activates them. We can ensure the quality of the child’s muscles already during intrauterine development by increased intake of vitamin D3 during pregnancy. Young people who have strong muscles are also less prone to falls and bone fractures in their old age. It is necessary to supplement vitamin D3 not only in the winter months when there is not enough of the sunlight, but throughout the year as well, as 60% of people have low levels of vitamin D3 in the blood.
