Buried Treasure Vitamin D3 & K2 Drops, 5000 IU D3 with 100 mcg K2, Sugar Free, 60 ml

What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement

When selecting a vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, the form and dosage are key. High-quality D3 is often sourced from lanolin, while K2 as MK-7 (derived from natto fermentation) offers sustained activity. Buried Treasure uses MK-7, known for its bioavailability. Each serving provides 5000 IU D3 and 100 mcg K2 (with 80 mcg MK-7 per serving as per the label). The liquid form allows flexible dosage from 5000 to 10000 IU D3 per serving, as directed by your health care professional. The formula is suspended in coconut MCT oil to enhance absorption and is naturally flavoured with raspberry and cranberry, making it a pleasant alternative to pills. It is also sugar-free and non-GMO.

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together

The synergy between vitamin D3 and K2 is based on their complementary roles in calcium regulation. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) enhances calcium absorption from the intestine. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) then activates proteins such as osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein, which help direct calcium to bones and teeth and prevent its deposition in soft tissues. The MK-7 form of K2 is preferred for its longer half-life, providing sustained support throughout the day.

Key Health Benefits

Vitamin D and K contribute to several important health functions:

• Bone and dental health: Both vitamins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, and vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth.
• Immune function: Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Muscle function: Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.
• Blood clotting: Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting.

This product is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.

Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?

Taking these two vitamins together ensures that the calcium absorbed thanks to vitamin D is properly utilised by the body. This synergistic relationship is why many choose a combined supplement, particularly those with limited sun exposure.
