If you’re unable to ideally gain all the necessary nutrients from your diet then vitamin-mineral supplementation may be required. Calcium supplementation can provide a plethora of benefits for bone, and heart health when taken properly. Certainly, it’s important to take calcium with your meals with the best variety being Calcium Citrate. Proper absorption of calcium is not seen without Vitamin D. Magnesium also plays a role as well. The best kind is Vitamin D3. Vitamin D is known to boost immunity and provide benefits to one’s health in a number of other areas. Supplementation of Vitamin D may be especially necessary for those who don’t get much sun exposure. However, when you increase Vitamin D intake there’s a greater demand for Vitamin K2.
This is different from K1 which is primarily for blood clotting and can be obtained easily from dark leafy greens. Vitamin K2 is essential for gaining the maximum health benefits from calcium, and Vitamin D along with preventing any toxicity from overdose. K2 moves calcium about the body to the places it needs to be, and removes it from where it causes harm. In particular, the blood where calcification can take place. Always consult your Naturopathic Physician when considering a nutritional supplementation program. Of course, you can ask your Allopathic Doctor about this but they’ll probably just sell you a highly expensive toxic chemical prescription drug that suppresses symptoms, and doesn’t naturally remedy your health issue!
