Features

Qu'est-ce que VITAMINES D3 + K2 MK-7™ ?

Une formule quotidienne associant deux vitamines liposolubles : la vitamine D3 (cholécalciférol), à 25 µg par gélule, et la vitamine K2 sous forme de ménaquinone-7 (MK-7), à 150 µg par gélule. La MK-7 est apportée par MenaQ7® MATRIX, obtenue par fermentation naturelle.

Comment ces vitamines agissent-elles ?

La vitamine D est synthétisée par la peau sous l'effet du rayonnement ultraviolet, et apportée en moindre quantité par l'alimentation. Elle contribue à l'absorption et à l'utilisation normales du calcium et du phosphore, ainsi qu'au maintien d'une concentration normale de calcium dans le sang.

La vitamine K existe sous deux familles principales : la vitamine K1 (phylloquinone), présente dans les légumes verts, et les vitamines K2 (ménaquinones), issues de fermentations bactériennes et d'aliments fermentés. Le natto, aliment traditionnel japonais à base de soja fermenté, en constitue la source alimentaire la plus concentrée. Ces formes se distinguent par leur devenir dans l'organisme : la MK-7 présente une demi-vie plasmatique plus longue que la K1 et que la MK-4.

La vitamine K agit comme cofacteur d'une enzyme qui active certaines protéines, parmi lesquelles l'ostéocalcine, protéine de la matrice osseuse. Les vitamines D et K contribuent toutes deux au maintien d'une ossature normale.

À qui s'adresse cette formule ?

Aux adultes souhaitant compléter leurs apports en vitamines D et K. L'apport en vitamine D dépend fortement de l'exposition solaire, elle-même variable selon la saison, la latitude et le mode de vie. L'apport alimentaire en vitamine K2 dépend, lui, de la consommation d'aliments fermentés, peu présents dans l'alimentation occidentale : les références européennes d'apport en vitamine K sont établies à partir des besoins liés à la coagulation, sans distinguer les différentes formes.

Dosage

Take 1 capsule per day, with a meal, with a glass of water.

Amounts per capsule:

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): 25 µg — 500% NRV
Vitamin K2 MK-7 MenaQ7® MATRIX: 150 µg — 200% NRV

Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble: their absorption is facilitated by the presence of lipids. Therefore, take your capsule with a meal.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

In your routine

Consistency is key, not the schedule.

One capsule per day, with the meal that suits you best.Vitamin D is synthesized by the skin under the effect of ultraviolet radiation. This synthesis varies depending on the season, latitude, time spent outdoors, and the use of sun protection. In temperate latitudes, it is significantly reduced from October to March. Regular supplementation during this period addresses this variation.

VITAMINS D3 + K2 MK-7 combines very well with our MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE 300 and our OMEGA 3 TG ULTRA for a complete regimen.

Also for athletes

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and normal bones, two parameters stressed by regular training. A daily intake integrates seamlessly, regardless of training or rest days.

Science & Reference

What are the differences between the forms of vitamin K based on?

Vitamin K exists in different forms with different pharmacokinetic characteristics. Comparative studies have measured a longer plasma half-life for MK-7 than for vitamin K1 [1] and for MK-4 [2]. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

What doses have been studied?

A dose-response study conducted in healthy adults evaluated several nutritional doses of MenaQ7® and their effects on markers of vitamin K status [3]. The 150 µg provided by one capsule falls within the dose range examined by these studies.

What clinical data exist on MenaQ7®?

MenaQ7® is the subject of several clinical studies on vitamin K2 in the MK-7 form. A randomized placebo-controlled study followed 244 postmenopausal women for three years, with 180 µg of MenaQ7® per day, evaluating vitamin K status and various bone parameters [4]. VITAMINES D3 + K2 MK-7™ offers 150 µg of MenaQ7® per day.

What does MenaQ7® MATRIX technology offer?

MenaQ7® MATRIX is a proprietary technology in which MK-7 from natural fermentation is dispersed in a maltodextrin matrix, without coating or additives. The vitamin K2 used has an isomeric purity of 99.8% in all-trans form [5]. Stability data provided by the manufacturer cover durations of one and two years at 25°C and 60% relative humidity [5].

Why this formulation?

Why vitamin K2 in MK-7 form? Because it is the form for which most of the available clinical data on vitamin K2 exists.

Why MenaQ7® MATRIX? For an MK-7 obtained by natural fermentation, 99.8% all-trans — the biologically active form — dispersed in a maltodextrin matrix, without coating or protective additives.

Why 150 µg? To provide 200% of the NRVs, within the documented nutritional dose range for MenaQ7®, with just one capsule per day.

Why 25 µg of vitamin D3? This is the maximum daily dose set in France for adult supplements. The formula adheres to this rather than exceeding it.

Why a two-active formula? Because adding a third ingredient would have diluted the dosage or lengthened the list without justification. Two vitamins, two bulking excipients, one plant-based capsule.
