3-K Complete: A Comprehensive Vitamin K Formula for Bone and Heart Health
Thorne’s 3-K Complete is an advanced vitamin K formula that provides a comprehensive blend of the three most important and well-researched forms of vitamin K: K1, K2 as MK-4, and K2 as MK-7. This complete formula is designed to provide robust support for bone and cardiovascular health by ensuring the body can properly utilize calcium. It is an ideal foundational supplement for individuals seeking to maintain healthy bone density, promote flexible arteries, and support a healthy clotting process.
How It Works: The Synergistic Power of Three K Vitamins
This formula leverages the unique, complementary actions of each form of vitamin K, which are distributed differently and have different half-lives in the body, providing a full spectrum of benefits.
Directing Calcium for Bone and Arterial Health
While Vitamin D aids in calcium absorption, Vitamin K is the crucial nutrient that directs calcium to where it’s needed. Vitamin K1 is primarily transported to the liver and is essential for synthesizing the proteins that control normal blood clotting. The two forms of Vitamin K2 (MK-4 and MK-7) are more active in the rest of the body. They activate key proteins—osteocalcin for binding calcium to bone and matrix Gla protein for keeping calcium out of arteries and soft tissues. MK-4 is the most rapidly absorbed form, while MK-7 provides a more sustained presence in the bloodstream.
Comprehensive Support for a Healthy Body
By providing this complete trio, 3-K Complete ensures support for both the liver and other tissues. This synergistic action is fundamental for building and maintaining strong bones, promoting the elasticity of blood vessels, and supporting overall cardiovascular wellness. It is the most comprehensive vitamin K formula available for those committed to healthy aging.
