Vitamin D and its co-factors: Without this substance, nothing works with vitamin D. But at the same time, if you're not careful, you'll waste huge amounts of money. You want to buy vitamin D, but don't know which supplement to take? The one with additional magnesium, calcium, all of the above or just vitamin D alone? So, mono or combination supplement? You're probably like many others when you stand in front of the store shelf and want to buy a vitamin D supplement. The sheer number of different supplements can quickly seem overwhelming. What should you buy, what can you do without? That's exactly what we'll explain in this video: when you should take vitamin D with so-called co-factors, or in which cases you can save money. ⏩ Get informed first, then supplement: Feel free to take a look at my guide https://bit.ly/RatgeberHowTo ✅ ❎ 100% independent ❎ 100% study-based ❎ 100% medically correct Why should you take vitamin D with magnesium? Or with vitamin K2, what are the benefits of the additional substances? This is not only an important question for your wallet, but also for your health: Vitamin D fulfils many different important tasks in our body, the best known is its influence on our bone health and our immune system. But vitamin D does not do its job alone and this is where the so-called co-factors come into play: Vitamin D interacts with other substances in order to develop its effect and, conversely, also influences these substances. Vitamin D cofactor no. 1: Calcium Without calcium, there are no strong bones - almost everyone knows that. But nothing works without vitamin D either, because it is the vitamin that ensures that calcium is properly absorbed from the intestine. If we have a vitamin D deficiency, this destabilizes our bones in the long term because not enough calcium can be incorporated into our bones. Vitamin D cofactor no. 2: Magnesium You have probably seen many vitamin D preparations with magnesium, and you often read on the Internet that vitamin D should always be taken with magnesium. But why? This is because magnesium plays a crucial role in converting vitamin D into its active form, calcitriol. If we do not have enough magnesium, our body can no longer produce enough vitamin D, and the risk of a deficiency is increased. Vitamin D cofactor no. 3: Vitamin K2 In addition to magnesium, it is often recommended to take vitamin K2 with vitamin D. This is because taking both vitamins together is said to have a better effect on bone health. Vitamin D and K2 work together on several levels, influencing each other and ensuring, for example, that the peptide hormone osteocalcin is formed, which is important for our bone mineralization. Vitamin D cofactor no. 4: Vitamin A A one co-factor that is often overlooked is vitamin A. Both vitamin A and vitamin D must be present in sufficient quantities because both together are important for the activation of many genes and the synthesis of some proteins.
