The Superior Vitamin D Choice

Liposomal Vitamin D

Liposomal Vitamin D

Many of you are taking a vitamin D supplement, but you are taking the wrong type. Due to genetic and environmental factors, many people do not absorb, convert, and transport Vitamin D efficiently, leading to suboptimal vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is also a fat-soluble vitamin. So, guess what? You need to take a vitamin D supplement that has fat in it. Liposomal vitamin D checks all the boxes. It is the superior vitamin D choice.

A liposomal vitamin is one in which the vitamin is encapsulated in a lipid. This increases absorption, even if you have suboptimal genes, and also protects it from damage during digestion, ensuring it gets into your cells.

Vitamin D + A + K

Not only should you be taking a liposomal Vitamin D, but you also need to be taking Vitamin A and Vitamin K along with it. These vitamins work together to ensure calcium goes where it needs to go and doesn't go where it shouldn't. Vitamin D increases calcium absorption from your food, and Vitamin K2 activates certain proteins that push the absorbed calcium into your bones and teeth. Vitamin K2 also prevents calcium from being deposited into the arteries and kidneys, where it can cause damage. Vitamin A helps these two work together by turning on key proteins that signal where everyone should go. You need all three for them to do their job.

For reference on why Liposomal Vitamin D, A, and K is superior, you can review the PubMed study: PMID 35054157.

Always test your blood serum levels; don't assume you need a supplement. However, most in this country do, especially those who live in climates where it is cloudy and cold for half of the year. And remember, food is always the first stop for getting the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs.
