Understanding the Synergy Between D3 and K2
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work together in a fascinating biological partnership. Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of calcium from the gut, ensuring your body has the calcium it needs for strong bones and teeth. However, calcium requires proper guidance—this is where vitamin K2 steps in. Vitamin K2 activates proteins that direct calcium to the bones and teeth, while helping to maintain arterial flexibility by discouraging calcium deposition in soft tissues. Taken together, these two nutrients work synergistically to maintain a healthy calcium balance throughout the body.*
The Amy Myers MD Vitamin D3/K2 supplement provides an optimum combination of 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) and 45 mcg of vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7, or MK-7). This precise ratio is designed to support bone density, immune resilience, and cardiovascular health—all in a single daily capsule.
