Vitamin K2D3 Oil Dr.Jacob`s

Dr.Jacob’s Vitamin K2D3 Oil is a dietary supplement that contains vitamin K2 and D3.It is particularly suitable for people who have an increased need for these vitamins, such as the elderly or those who spend little time outdoors.The oil contains 50 µg vitamin K2 (all-trans MK-7) and 1000 IU (25 µg) vitamin D3 in a ratio of 2:1.It is made in Germany and contains pharmacopoeia-quality vitamins.The oil is optimally bioavailable and stable thanks to natural vitamin E.

Vitamin K2 and D3 are essential for the maintenance of bones and teeth, the function of the muscles and the immune system, and normal cell division.Vitamin D3 stimulates the formation of osteocalcin, which is activated by vitamin K2 to efficiently store calcium in the bones.This is particularly important because few people have adequate vitamin D levels, especially in winter.

No prescription is required for this product.It is vegetarian and made in Germany.The daily recommended consumption is 1 drop.The bottle contains 640 drops, which offers an excellent price-dose ratio.The oil is easy to dose and has an integrated pipette.

Area of application

Especially as we age, our bodies are exposed to particular stress situations, which increases the need for vitamin K.However, vitamin K2 is hardly absorbed in today's diet.Dr.Jacob's Vitamin K2D3 oil contains long-chain vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7), which is particularly bioavailable and has a long half-life in the body.At around 3 days, vitamin K2 works around 50 times longer than vitamin K1 (1-2 hours) and can therefore develop its effect throughout the entire body.

The estimate of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) for an adequate intake of vitamin K increases significantly from the age of 51 (for women from 60 to 65 µg/day; for men from 70 to 80 µg/day).Vitamin D is essential for the maintenance of bones and teeth, the function of the muscles and the immune system and has a function in cell division.It works closely with vitamin K to maintain normal bones: Vitamin D3 stimulates the formation of osteocalcin, which is activated by vitamin K2 to efficiently store calcium in the bones.

Only 12% of the German population has good vitamin D3 levels; in winter it is less than 5%.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.

The 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?

Everyone in months with low UV-radiation (October to March), people who spend most of their time indoors or covering their skin, sunscreen users, 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.A vitamin D blood test (at the doctor, in the pharmacy or online) will provide clarity.

Vitamin D3 can reduce the risk of falls.Falls are a risk factor for bone fractures, especially in men and women over the age of 60. An increased risk of falls in old age may be related to vitamin D intake.Taking 800 IU (20 mcg) of vitamin D daily from all sources for ages 60 and older can help reduce the risk of falls associated with physical instability and muscle weakness.
