Bones Supplement Gummie – Vitamine D3 & K2
Are there days when you barely see the sun?
THE FACT
8 in 10 people who work indoors have vitamin D deficiency¹.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Do you arrive at work during daylight and leave when there is hardly any sunlight left?
Offices, warehouses, production facilities. Many working days are spent almost entirely indoors with few opportunities for sun exposure, especially during autumn and winter.
THE BRIDGE
That is why we developed Bones Supplement Gummie – Vitamine D3 & K2: a vegan formula with vitamin D and K2 designed to complement your diet when you spend much of the day indoors and have limited sunlight exposure.
Origin / why
A combination that contributes to maintaining bone health. Vitamins D and K help maintain normal bone health. Vitamin D also supports normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus and maintains normal muscle function².

Education
01
Eye-opening fact
Did you know that sunlight through a window does not help your body produce vitamin D?
Even if you are sitting beside a window and exposed to sunlight, the UVB radiation needed to produce vitamin D in the skin does not pass through glass¹. Therefore, sunlight through a window is not equivalent to direct exposure².
02
Myth vs. reality:
Myth:
“If it is sunny, my skin always produces the same amount of vitamin D.”
Reality:
Vitamin D synthesis does not depend solely on whether the sun is shining. The season, time of day, amount of skin exposed, and even skin pigmentation can influence how much vitamin D the body can produce³.
03
Top ingredient:
Did you know that some bacteria also produce vitamin K2?
Menaquinones, collectively known as vitamin K2, are primarily of bacterial origin. This is why they can be found in certain fermented foods, such as some cheeses⁴.
04
9to5 tip:
Find opportunities to get outdoors.
If you spend most of your workday indoors, use a break to step outside. Having coffee outdoors, going for a short walk, or making a phone call while walking are simple ways to add more time outside during your workday.
