Dear Community,
Happy Holidays and a joyful New Year!
This winter, let’s talk about three powerful nutrients that can strengthen your immunity and improve overall health:
- Vitamin D3 (the “sunshine vitamin”)
- Vitamin K2
- Magnesium
Why These Nutrients?
- Vitamin D3: Regulates immune function, reduces inflammation, and helps your body absorb calcium. Research shows it can lower the risk of flu by over 50%.
- Vitamin K2: Ensures calcium is directed to your bones and teeth—NOT your arteries—reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis and kidney stones.
- Magnesium: Activates Vitamin D3 and supports muscle recovery, restful sleep, and proper calcium utilization.
What Happens Without Them?
- Weakened immunity and increased infection risk
- Joint pain and higher chances of autoimmune diseases
- Mood swings and sleep disturbances
Recommended Daily Intake
- Vitamin D3: 1,000–4,000 IU
- Vitamin K2: 100–200 mcg
- Magnesium: 300–400 mg
If you’re not getting enough sunshine, consider supplements. Always consult a professional for high-dose plans.
Let’s prepare your body for spring!
