Why do we need the combination of vitamin D3 and K2?

Vitamin D is essential for the maintenance of bones and teeth, the function of the muscles and the immune system, and normal cell division.It works closely with vitamin K: Vitamin D3 stimulates the formation of osteocalcin, which is activated by vitamin K2 to efficiently store calcium in the bones.Vitamin K2 is hardly absorbed in the diet.Dr.Jacob's Vitamin D3K2 oil forte contains long-chain vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) with high bioavailability and stability.It remains in the body for up to three days, about 50 times longer than vitamin K1.

Vitamin D levels in the population

Diet contributes little to the vitamin D supply; UVB-sunlight is crucial for the skin's own synthesis.A deficiency is particularly common in winter, but factors such as sun protection or dark skin type can also inhibit vitamin D synthesis in summer.Studies show that self-education is often not enough, even in summer.On an annual average, only 12% of the German population achieve the vitamin D level of over 75 nmol/l recommended by leading scientists, and in winter even less than 5%.Only 38% of Germans reach the lower limit set by the German Society for Nutrition (DGE) of at least 50 nmol/l all year round.

Experts also disagree about the correct intake recommendation.In fact, this depends on many factors: initial value, age, weight, sun exposure, skin color, etc. DGE recommends a serum value of at least 50 nmol/l and 800 IU (20 µg) of vitamin D daily (from the age of 2, if there is no self-synthesis).The renowned American Geriatrics Society recommends that all people aged 70 and over take 4000 IU (100 μg) of vitamin D (from all sources) daily to maintain a good serum value of at least 75 nmol/l.This corresponds to the daily intake determined by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as safe (tolerable) for people aged 11 and over.

Who should pay particular attention to their vitamin D levels?

People who spend most of their time indoors or cover their skin, users of sunscreen, people with dark skin, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, babies and small children, women in/post-menopause, overweight people and seniors should pay particular attention to their vitamin D levels in months with low UV-radiation (October to March).A vitamin D blood test (at the doctor, in the pharmacy or online) will provide clarity.
