It is a fat-soluble vitamin, which is why it should be taken during or immediately after a meal, better if accompanied by a food rich in fat.
To ensure that vitamin D can fix calcium in the bones, avoiding creating accumulations and hardening in the arteries, its intake must be accompanied by the intake of Vitamin K2. (not K1 which is used to thin the blood)
Furthermore, to optimize the absorption of vitamin D, Magnesium is important in addition to vitK2.
Magnesium deficiency prevents the activation and use of the vitamin by the body.
This explains why, despite taking vitamin D, the values in some people remain low.
Last but not least, exposing our entire body to the sun for at least 30 minutes every day is essential for synthesizing the VitD we have taken in with food.
