Vitamin360 D3 + K2 Oral Spray (30 ml, Mint Flavor)

One of the product’s main components, vitamin K, is essential for blood clotting and bone health. Due to its dual role in coagulation, many people “misunderstand” vitamin K. Let’s take a closer look at the role of vitamin K in the body!

There are two types of vitamin K:

• Vitamin K1 primarily activates clotting factors in the liver (e.g. prothrombin), which are essential for normal blood clotting.
• Vitamin K2 also plays a role in activating clotting factors, but K2 works mainly in tissues such as blood vessels and bones. Its main function is to support the incorporation of calcium into bones and teeth, preventing calcium deposits in the arterial walls.

So, vitamin K is necessary for the proper functioning of the body. Deficiency is rare but can occur under certain conditions, especially:

• after long-term antibiotic use,
• in cases of fat malabsorption (e.g. Crohn’s disease, coeliac disease),
• when following a heavily processed diet,
• in old age,
• with liver disease or intestinal tumors.

Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency most commonly include:

• Blood clotting issues: easy bruising, nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding from wounds or when brushing teeth
• Slow wound healing
• Osteoporosis, increased risk of fractures
• Calcium deposits in soft tissues, especially in the walls of arteries
• Long-term deficiency may lead to arteriosclerosis

The other key component of the product is vitamin D3, which is produced in the body in response to sunlight and enhances the benefits of vitamin K2. Vitamin D3 also plays a role in bone health, may improve immune function, and has a positive effect on mood.

How does the combination of D3 and K2 affect the bones? It “strengthens” them by having vitamin D3 help increase blood calcium levels, while vitamin K2 “directs” the calcium – ensuring it is deposited into the bones rather than the arteries. K2 accomplishes this through activation of a protein called osteocalcin.

Cardiovascular protection also lies in vitamin K2: while D3 raises calcium levels, K2 activates the matrix Gla protein, which helps prevent calcium buildup in the artery walls – thereby reducing the risk of arterial calcification.

Thus, K2 does its “job” by influencing two key enzymes. Both enzymes – and the work of vitamin K2 – are essential for maintaining proper calcium metabolism. However, it’s important to know that the primary role of vitamin K2 in the body is regulation of blood clotting. This effect is dual: while it's essential for proper wound healing, excessive clotting may increase cardiovascular risks. That’s why a balanced D3–K2 combination not only supports stronger bones but also clean, flexible arteries.

Besides bones, where else does vitamin K2 help deliver calcium? To the teeth, of course! It contributes to strong, healthy teeth, helping to prevent tooth decay and bone-loss-related dental problems.

Let’s reveal a few lesser-known effects of vitamin K!

Vitamin K has antioxidant properties and plays a role in neuronal metabolism. Some studies suggest it may help maintain nervous system health, reduce neural inflammation, and support brain function, contributing to better memory and cognitive performance.

Vitamin K also has immunomodulatory properties, meaning it can support proper immune function. This is strongly linked to its antioxidant role. Antioxidants help protect against harmful free radicals, thus “unburdening” the immune system. It also influences inflammatory processes, which is essential for defending against infections and maintaining overall health.

Vitamin360 D3+K2 Oral Spray contains 1000 IU of vitamin D3 and 25 mcg of vitamin K2. This amount of vitamin D is sufficient for general supplementation. As mentioned, vitamin D is best known for supporting bone health, but its effects go far beyond that!

Some of the lesser-known benefits of vitamin D include:

• Improving mood, relieving symptoms of depression
• Supporting the immune system
• Reducing the risk of autoimmune diseases
• Protecting the cardiovascular system
• Improving insulin sensitivity
• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects

The product’s vitamin K2 content is not considered excessive, making it generally safe – from a blood clotting perspective – for most people. However, it's important to note that those taking anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, or who have a tendency toward thrombosis or thrombophilia, should consult a doctor before using this product.
