What are the advantages of higher-dose vitamin K 2 ?
Especially as we age, our bodies are exposed to particular stress situations, which increases our 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 is effective around 50 times longer than vitamin K1 ( 1-2 hours). This allows vitamin K2 to build up effective blood levels and exert its effects throughout the body.
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) estimates for an adequate intake of vitamin K increase significantly from the age of 51 (from 60 to 65 μg/day for women; from 70 to 80 μg/day for men).
Why do we need the combination of vitamin K2 and D3 ? Vitamin
D is essential for the maintenance of bones and teeth, the function of muscles and the immune system, and normal cell division. It works closely with vitamin K: Vitamin D3 stimulates the production of osteocalcin, which is activated by vitamin K2 to efficiently deposit calcium in the bones. Only
12% have good vitamin D3 levels , and in winter, this figure is below 5%.
Diet contributes little to vitamin D supply; UVB sunlight is crucial for the skin's own synthesis. Deficiency is particularly common in winter, but factors such as sun protection or dark skin can also inhibit vitamin D synthesis in summer. Studies show that even in summer, the body's own production is often insufficient:
Only 12% of the German population achieves the annual average vitamin D level of over 75 nmol/l (1,2) recommended by leading scientists, and in winter even less than 5%. The lower limit of at least 50 nmol/l recommended by the German Nutrition Society (DGE) is achieved year-round by only 38% of Germans.(3)
Experts also disagree on the correct intake recommendations. In fact, this depends on many factors: baseline value, age, weight, sun exposure, skin color, etc. The DGE recommends a serum level of at least 50 nmol/l and 800 IU (20 μg) of vitamin D daily (from the age of 2, if the body lacks endogenous synthesis). The renowned American Geriatrics Society recommends that all people aged 70 and over take 4000 IU (100 μg) of vitamin D daily (from all sources) to maintain a healthy serum level of at least 75 nmol/l. This corresponds to the daily intake defined by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as safe (tolerable) for persons aged 11 years and over.

Who should pay particular attention to their vitamin D levels?
✔ Who should pay particular attention to their vitamin D levels?

✔ People who spend most of their time indoors or who cover their skin
✔ Users of sunscreen (SPF 10 reduces vitamin D production by 90%)
✔ People with dark skin
✔ Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, babies and young children
✔ Women in/after menopause
✔ Overweight people
✔ Seniors
A vitamin D blood test (at your doctor, in the pharmacy or online) can provide clarity
Vitamin D3 can reduce the risk of falls Falls
are a risk factor for bone fractures in men and women, especially from the age of 60. An increased risk of falls with age can be related to vitamin D supply. A daily intake of 800 IU (20 μg) of vitamin D from all sources from the age of 60 helps to reduce the risk of falls associated with physical instability and muscle weakness.

MCT oil for optimal protection and better absorption
To improve the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins K2 and D3 , we use a high-quality MCT oil that is made in Europe from coconut oil. Together with the natural vitamin E family (tocopherols), this oil protects the sensitive fat-soluble vitamins and optimizes their absorption.
Tip: Vitamins K2 and D3 are particularly beneficial in combination with Dr. Jacob's base powder! Dr. Jacob's vitamin oils are available in various combinations and strengths to suit individual needs. In addition to Vitamin K2 D3 oil , there is the classic Vitamin D3 K2 oil (forte), D3 oil (forte), K2 oil and DEKA oil (with vitamins A and E as natural tocopherols).
