QUICKSILVER Nanoemulsified D3K2 is a dietary supplement in the form of a liposomal nanoemulsion containing vitamin D3 in the form of cholecalciferol and vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 (menaquinone-7). Vitamin D is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and it supports the health of the skeletal system. The addition of vitamin K allows for a better use of cholecalciferol, and thus improves the overall effect of the preparation.
A large part of oral dietary supplements containing vitamin D characterizes with rather weak absorption of this ingredient. The nanoemulsion technology used in Quicksilver Nanoemulsified D3K2 uses liposomes to protect the nutrients from destruction in a difficult environment of the digestive tract, providing better bioavailability and the ability of the body to take a full advantage of the dose taken.
Quicksilver Nanoemulsified D3K2 contains vitamin D in the form of cholecalciferol, occurring naturally in a human body. Vitamin D plays a key role in the regulation of the calcium-phosphate management in the system, bone mineralization, normal cell division, modulation of the immune system, and also it has neuro and cardioprotective properties.
Vitamin D plays an important role in the regulation of the calcium-phosphate balance of the body, it is necessary for the proper absorption of calcium and phosphates in the gastrointestinal tract, increases the reabsorption of calcium in the kidney tubules and participates in the bone development and mineralization.
Vitamin D is involved in the proper division of cells, protecting the body against the accumulation of mutations and limiting the proliferation of cancer cells. Additionally, it has a positive effect on tissue differentiation and a natural process of programmed cell death called apoptosis.
Vitamin D positively affects the immune system by inhibiting the overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines and also stimulates the production of antibodies and genes encoding anti-bacterial peptides.
Vitamin D has neuroprotective properties. A lot of scientific evidence points to an increased risk of depression or mood disorders due to vitamin D deficiency. When the levels of Vitamin D are too low in the blood, there is an increase in the occurrence of cognitive disorders and Alzheimer's disease.
Supplementation with vitamin D reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. The most important mechanism responsible for this action is the effect on the reduction of hypertension by reducing the activity of the RAA system (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone). In addition, the active metabolite of vitamin D has a direct effect on the sympathetic system, platelet aggregation, inflammatory processes and the blood coagulation system.
A perfect combination of vitamins D3 and K2 contained in the Quicksilver Nanoemulsified D3K2 preparation supports the absorption of calcium and maintaining the best condition of the bone system. Vitamin K2 works in synergy with vitamin D, reducing the harmful effects of calcium accumulating in the arteries, kidneys, joints and soft tissues and helps the body to store it in bones, where it is most needed.
The Quicksilver Nanoemulsified D3K2 formula contains a highly bioactive form of vitamin K2 called menaquinone-7 or MK-7, which is characterized by a long half-life in the body.
There is a very strong relationship between vitamin K2 deficiency and disorders of bone and skeletal system. It has been found that vitamin K2 deficiency increases bone fragility, and administration of vitamin K in combination with calcium and vitamin D helps to increase bone strength by improving their geometry.
Loss of elasticity of the blood vessel walls caused by building up of calcium-phosphate salts in them is one of the main causes of the development of cardiovascular diseases. It is believed that the main role in this process is played by vascular smooth muscle cells responsible for the synthesis of the protein inhibiting the processes of vitamin K-dependent calcification. Therefore, an insufficient amount of vitamin K increases the risk of arterial calcification and consequently hypertension, congestion, heart attack, and strokes.
In conclusion, QUICKSILVER Nanoemulsified D3K2 is a preparation whose supplementation is recommended in conditions of poor absorption of nutrients, counteracting and treating vitamin D deficiency, rickets, metabolism-related bone diseases and as adjunctive therapy in osteoporosis. In addition, the product can be a useful tool in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and general health prevention.

Vitamin D belongs to fat soluble vitamins, occurs in three forms: calciferol (vitamin D1) ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), it is formed under the action of sunlight for at least 15 minutes per day. In the absence of sunlight it should be administered in the diet in the form of fish oil (Vitamin A + D3) and fish oils. It is responsible for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It is the building substance of bone tissue particularly necessary during pregnancy, childhood, and for athletes. It is a component of dietary supplements and nutrients among competetive athletes. Deficiency of vitamin D causes children growth inhibition, and rickets.
For adults - deficiency causes osteomalacia.
Excess of vitamin D causes headaches, alopecia, nausea, drowsiness, blurred vision, pain in the long bones, the deposition of calcium deposits.
Dosage: 400 IU units during the day.
Cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3, is an organic chemical that belongs to the family of D vitamins. It is naturally found in fatty fish, fish oil, egg yolks, milk and dairy products. It is also synthesized in the human body. It is formed from 7-dehydrocholesterol present in the keratinocytes of the spinous and the basal layers of the epidermis, and a pre-requisite for initiating this process is the action of 290-315 nm wavelength UVB radiation on the skin.
Cholecalciferol is a biologically inactive compound. In the body, it undergoes enzymatic hydroxylation – first in the liver, with the participation of 25-hydroxylase, when calcidiol is formed and secondly in the kidneys, where under the influence of 1-α-hydroxylase, calcidiol is converted into the final active form – calcitriol.
The most important role of vitamin D3 in the body is the regulation of calcium-phosphate metabolism, which directly affects normal skeletal mineralization. In addition, it is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation, insulin secretion, as well as in some functions of the nervous, endocrine and immune systems.
Cholecalciferol is the most popular form of vitamin D used in dietary supplements. Studies show that supplementation with vitamin D in this form most effectively and rapidly raises the level of 25 (OH) D3 – a metabolite that is a marker of the level of vitamin D in the body.
Dosage: according to RDI standards for individual age groups.
What is Vitamin K2?
Vitamin K2 belongs to fat-soluble vitamins It is an important activator of many enzymes and proteins It shows a positive action on calcium balance by activating MGP protein and osteocalcin. This results in the removal of calcium deposits from blood vessel walls and transport of ions of this element to the area where it fulfills its function – teeth and bones. It reduces therefore the calcification of blood vessels and thus the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, it is a constituent of coagulation factors and cosequently prevents haemorrhages. It shows a synergistic action in combination with vitamin D and magnesium.
Vitamin K2 in the form of a dietary supplement of renowned brands e.g. Now Foods, Swanson, Life Extension, Jarrow Formulas and Thorne Research) can be found in formulas available at www.muscle-zone.pl
What is menaquinone-7?
Menaquinone-7 is a term used for long-chain form of vitamin K2, having seven isoprene residues in the side chain. Contrary to another popular form MK-4, it is not synthesized in tissues, however, it may be produced in the intestines by means of the conversion from vitamin K1 by intestinal bacteria.
It exhibits especially positive influence on the health of the circulatory system, especially by lowering the risk of atherosclerosis and heart attacks. It owes this effect mainly to osteocalcin, activated by vitamin K2. This hormone is responsible among others for the transport of calcium to bones, which counteracts its storage in soft tissues, decreasing at the same time the probability of blood vessel calcification and the creation of atherosclerotic plaques. K2 MK-7 also contributes to protecting the nervous system, securing neurons from excitotoxicity induced by excessive activity of glutamate and reducing the consequences of excessively low level of glutathione.
Vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 is a very popular additive to supplements with vitamin D3, due to the synergy of effects and reducing potential negative effects of applying higher doses of cholecalciferol.
Menaquinone-7 may be found both in monopreparations and complex supplements in the offer of muscle-zone.pl.
Phosphatidylcholine – a group of phospholipids whose molecule contains choline. It can be synthesised endogenously in the human body, is a building block of cell membranes and thus influences beneficially their functioning. Since it is found commonly in the body, phosphatidylcholine supplementation shows many health benefits.
This phospholipid has a beneficial impact on the functioning of liver tissues. It has hepatoprotective properties, consequently preventing damage to this organ caused by toxic agents, and helps treat its diseases. It reduces oxidative stress in the liver and has therefore a beneficial impact on the viability of hepatocytes.
Because of the presence of phosphatidylcholine molecules in cell membranes, whose efficiency is critical to maintaining normal neurotransmission, this compound is indicated to influence positively neuronal function. It is suggested that phosphatidylcholine may be effective especially in disorders associated with too low acetylcholine concentrations in the body.
It is also said to promote lipolysis. Such activity of this compound is observed only in topical administration. There are no reliable sources which describe that this phospholipid is capable of speeding up body fat loss in oral delivery.
Lecithin is part of the phospholipids (lipid complex), beneficial for the function of the cardiovascular system and blood lipid profile and fat metabolism. It is a source of choline which is a precursor of acetylcholine (neurotransmitter) that affects the nervous system, including inositol (stabilizer of the copper and zinc balance in the body). It improves concentration, cognition and memory. Forms a colloidal suspension of a liquid in the fat (emulsification) allowing for their use in the food industry. It is a component of dietary supplements supporting the work of the central nervous system, blood circulation, accelerating weight loss and in protein, carbohydrate-protein supplement as an emulsifier, available at www.muscle-zone.pl
