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?

  1. 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%.
  2. Vitamin K2: Ensures calcium is directed to your bones and teeth—NOT your arteries—reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis and kidney stones.
  3. 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!
