What Is Vitamin D3 and K2 Liquid?
The Amy Myers MD Vitamin D3/K2 Liquid combines two essential fat-soluble nutrients in a convenient, high-absorption liquid form. Designed for daily wellbeing, this physician-formulated supplement provides bio-available ingredients to help support your body's natural processes. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) aids calcium absorption from the digestive tract, while vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7) activates proteins that guide calcium to the bones and teeth, away from soft tissues. This synergistic duo is ideal for those seeking a practicable, customisable option without the need for tablets.
Key Health Benefits
-
Bone Support: Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones by aiding calcium absorption, and vitamin K2 also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones by directing calcium to the bone matrix.

-
Teeth & Muscle: Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth and normal muscle function, supporting overall structural health.
-
Calcium Utilisation: Vitamin D3 contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, ensuring proper mineral balance.
-
Blood Clotting: Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting, a vital process for cardiovascular wellbeing.

These benefits are supported by decades of research on these essential nutrients. The Amy Myers MD formula is designed to provide targeted support for a proactive approach to health.
How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 helps stimulate the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, allowing calcium to enter the bloodstream. However, without adequate vitamin K2, that calcium may not be properly utilised. Vitamin K2 helps activate osteocalcin, which binds calcium into bone, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which may help prevent calcium deposition in arteries. Together, they help ensure calcium reaches the right places—bones and teeth—while avoiding soft tissues. The liquid formulation is designed to enhance absorption, making it an excellent choice for those with difficulty swallowing pills or who prefer a flexible dosage. Each serving provides a balanced ratio of D3 and K2 for daily needs.

Choosing a D3 and K2 Supplement
When selecting a vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, consider these factors:
