Our bones carry us wherever we go. They protect our bodies and enable everything we do. However, we often only think about their importance when we suffer fractures or are confronted with a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis. But what if taking a proactive approach to bone health was standard? 3rd Rock Essentials’ D3+K2 drops can make caring for bone and heart health convenient and effective.
Why Choose 3rd Rock Essentials D3+K2?
3rd Rock Essentials D3+K2 has several advantages over other brands:
- Liquid drops are a convenient way to take supplements if you have difficulty taking pills. This affects up to 40% of adults without swallowing issues.
- A daily dose is just five drops; each bottle lasts for four months.
- Contains one of the best supplemental forms of vitamin K.
- Chelation increases ingredient bioavailability.
The Benefits of Vitamin K2
The vitamin K2 used in 3rd Rock Essentials D3+K2 is MK7, its most powerful form for bone and heart health.
In studies on dietary intake, people consuming higher amounts of vitamin K2 had half the risk of death from heart problems caused by hardened arteries. They also had a 25 percent lower rate of all-cause death. This is because of how vitamin K2 protects your bones: it helps to shuttle calcium to your bones and keep it out of your blood vessels and other soft tissues. People taking high doses of calcium without vitamin K2 are more likely to have hardened arteries and deposits of calcium elsewhere. If you take calcium to prevent osteoporosis after menopause, you must maintain a high vitamin K2 intake.
The Benefits of Vitamin D3
Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin”, plays many roles in immune, heart, and bone health. We can make it during sun exposure, but this may not be possible in the colder months for you. Research on vitamin D for bone density demonstrated a 2.7 percent rise in BMD, compared to a 4.6 percent drop among women in the placebo group. Additionally, it may improve muscle strength, which can boost sports performance and assist in everyday activities. Vitamin D’s immune-supporting properties are largely based on its benefits against cellular aging, by protecting your DNA and having an antioxidant effect. As for vitamin D3 and K2 together, a trial testing the combination in people with osteopenia or osteoporosis found improved bone density and higher rates of collagen production.
