What Happens to Your Bone Health When You Take Vitamins D3 and K2 Together

Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption while Vitamin K2 activates proteins that bind calcium into bone.
Together, D3 and K2 may strengthen bones more than either vitamin alone, especially in older adults.
D3 helps calcium absorption in the small intestine and supports bone remodeling.
K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that locks calcium into the bone matrix.
D3 and K2 work on the same biological pathway to support stronger bones.
People at risk for deficiency or older age may benefit from the combination.
Consult a healthcare provider before starting D3 and K2 supplements.
