Benefits of Liquid Drops with Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 (MK-7), and Extra Virgin Olive Oil
This supplement combines three key ingredients—Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), Vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7, MK-7), and extra virgin olive oil—with citrus and orange flavoring. Here’s a breakdown of their evidence-based benefits:
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol, 2000 IU / 50 mcg)
- Bone Health:Â Vitamin D3 is essential for calcium absorption in the gut, which supports strong bones and teeth and helps prevent conditions like osteoporosis, rickets, and osteomalacia.
- Muscle Function:Â Adequate vitamin D levels are important for muscle strength and function, reducing the risk of falls in older adults.
- Immune Support:Â Vitamin D3 helps modulate the immune system, potentially reducing the risk of infections and autoimmune diseases.
- Mood & Disease Prevention:Â Sufficient vitamin D may help improve mood, reduce depression symptoms, and lower the risk of certain diseases, including some cardiovascular conditions and multiple sclerosis5.
Vitamin K2 (as MK-7, 80 mcg)
- Synergy with Vitamin D:Â Vitamin K2 works in tandem with vitamin D3 to ensure calcium is absorbed and deposited in bones, not in arteries or soft tissues, thereby supporting both bone and cardiovascular health.
- Bone Strength:Â MK-7 activates proteins (osteocalcin) that bind calcium to bone, increasing bone density and reducing fracture risk, especially in postmenopausal women and older adults.
- Heart Health:Â K2 (MK-7) helps prevent arterial calcification by activating matrix Gla protein (MGP), which removes excess calcium from blood vessels, supporting flexible, healthy arteries and reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.
- Blood Clotting:Â Vitamin K2 supports normal blood clotting by activating clotting factors in the liver.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects:Â MK-7 has been shown to reduce inflammation by modulating inflammatory mediators.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Absorption:Â As a healthy fat, olive oil enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like D and K.
- Heart Health:Â Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, which lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and improve overall cardiovascular health.
- Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory:Â EVOO contains antioxidants that fight oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to lower risks of chronic diseases.
- Metabolic Benefits:Â Regular use of EVOO is linked to improved glycemic control and weight management.
Citrus & Orange Flavor
- Palatability:Â Improves taste, making daily supplementation easier.
Nutritional Bonus:Â Citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, which support immune function and digestive health.
