Bone health

More than 3 billion people worldwide are at risk of calcium deficiency. Even in countries where calcium intake is high, people are at very high risk of osteoporosis. It is often overlooked that calcium in the human body works due to a well-coordinated "teamwork" with vitamins K2 and D3: D3 is required for the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood, while K2 allows the proper incorporation of calcium in the uterus of the bones.

The role of calcium and vitamins in bone development

Children need the highest amount of calcium because during childhood and adolescence bone tissue grows more intensively. About 90% of bone mass is grown by the age of 19. Inadequate calcium intake is often associated with vitamin D deficiency due to an unbalanced diet and insufficient exposure to sunlight, resulting in delayed growth, weak bones or skeletal deformities. Similarly, optimal levels of vitamin K2 for childhood and adolescence are crucial to ensure healthy bones and teeth in adulthood, while in recent years the dietary intake of this vitamin has decreased due to the increasing consumption of processed foods.

The role of calcium and vitamins in the prevention of osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is one of the most common bone diseases and, since there is no cure, prevention is considered particularly important in its management. Sufficient intake of calcium, but also of vitamins D and K2, which increase its absorption during childhood and adolescence, is necessary to achieve the best possible development and calcification of the skeleton and to prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis in later adulthood**.

The relationship between bone and cardiovascular health

Osteocalcin is a protein that binds calcium and deposits it in bones. Its activation is done by vitamin K2. In the case of vitamin K2 deficiency, calcium circulates in the blood and is deposited on the walls of blood vessels, leading to arterial calcification, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. An important inhibitor of arterial calcification is matrix gla protein (MGP). Like osteocalcin, this protein needs vitamin K2 to be activated.
