Description

Vitamin D plays a critical role in preventing and managing hypertension and arterial disease, with deficiency often being a hidden factor behind so-called “essential hypertension.” This nutrient is essential for the endothelial lining of arteries, acting as both a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant while also stimulating the production of nitric oxide, which helps keep blood vessels relaxed and flexible. A chronic lack of Vitamin D can force the parathyroid hormone to draw excessive calcium from the bones, leading to osteoporosis. At the same time, this imbalance contributes to harmful soft-tissue and arterial calcification, creating significant cardiovascular risks. To support vascular and bone health, a combination of Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, and magnesium is recommended, since together they help regulate calcium distribution in the body. While supplementation can be beneficial, safe sunlight exposure remains one of the best natural ways to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels.
