K2 D3 Matrix + Magnesium Bis-Glycinate (Osteo Matrix)

• Specially formulated without calcium to allow for a tailored and adjustable calcium/magnesium ratio
• 125 mg of elemental magnesium delivered in a well-absorbed and well-tolerated buffered bis-glycinate chelate
• 500 IU of vegan vitamin D3 per capsule
• 60 mcg of vitamin K2 per capsule, in the form of K2Vital, a microencapsulated MK-7 material

Although calcium has been the primary mineral for bone health for decades, it is time to broaden the focus in the prevention and treatment of osteopenia and osteoporosis. More recent evidence has elucidated the critical roles of other key minerals and vitamins for optimal bone mineral density. Specifically, magnesium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2 have been shown to be beneficial for bone health in various human clinical trials.

These three nutrients have unique and interconnected relationships that promote calcium regulation and bone growth. For example, vitamin D3 is necessary for calcium absorption from the digestive tract, while magnesium is needed to activate enzymes related to vitamin D3 metabolism. In fact, people who are well-supplied with magnesium are much less likely to be vitamin D3 deficient. Vitamin K2, on the other hand, is crucial for the proper distribution of calcium throughout the skeletal system and away from the cardiovascular system. It does this through its ability to activate two proteins, osteocalcin and matrix-GLA protein, thereby directing calcium in the right direction. As you can see, a deficiency in any of these nutrients can disrupt the body's overall balance and negatively impact bone health.

Cyto-Matrix's K2-D3 + Magnesium Bis-Glycinate Matrix provides a blend of magnesium bis-glycin chelate and magnesium oxide. This blend of magnesium bis-glycinates is designed to deliver a high dose of elemental magnesium in a well-absorbed and well-tolerated form, superior to magnesium salts. Vitamin D3 is provided in a vegan-friendly form sourced from the blue-green algae known as lichen. Vitamin K2 is found as K2Vital, a patented, non-soy MK-7 that is microencapsulated with a starch bilayer for superior protection and stability.

This formula deliberately excludes calcium. The K2-D3 matrix is ​​ideal for practitioners and patients who wish to avoid calcium supplements or who have medical reasons to be concerned about excessive calcium intake. For individuals who choose to supplement their diet with calcium separately, the K2-D3 matrix allows for a customized and adjustable calcium-to-magnesium ratio.
