As the days get shorter, some people may start to experience Seasonal Effective Disorder, or SAD, which is at least partly due to Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D is assisted by vitamin K2 (which directs the calcium-vitamin D complexes to the bones, rather than to soft tissue, kidney stones, arteries, etc). That is why we always recommend supplementing with a D3/K2 combination product.
