Specifically, I am taking MD Logic’s Vitamin D3 and K2 which contains two different forms of K2 and is emulsified in olive oil not vegetable oils. Approximately 42% of the US population is deficient in vitamin D. Study upon study shows that vitamin D supplementation effectively prevents respiratory tract infections . Supplementation has been associated with fewer colds and it also protects against major chronic diseases. I highly recomment MD Logic’s Vitamin D3 plus K2 supplement especially during the fall and winter months which contains two different forms of K2 known as MK4 and MK7.
