What to Look For in a D3 and K2 Supplement

Not all D3 and K2 supplements are alike. When choosing a product, consider these key factors:

• Form of Vitamin K2: MK-7 (menaquinone-7) is preferred over MK-4 due to its longer half-life and better bioavailability. CanPrev uses the MK-7 form.
• Dosage Ratio: A common effective ratio is 1000–5000 IU D3 to 45–100 mcg K2. This product provides 250 IU D3 and 30 mcg K2 per drop, allowing flexible dosage.
• Delivery Base: MCT oil enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins D3 and K2. CanPrev uses a pure MCT oil base from coconut.
• Purity: Look for supplements free from common allergens and unnecessary additives. This formula is gluten-free, dairy-free, soya-free, and sugar-free.
• Third-Party Testing: Quality assurance through independent testing ensures potency and purity.

Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?

Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work together to support your health. Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and to normal bone health. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and to maintenance of normal bones. When taken together, they ensure that calcium absorbed from the diet is effectively directed to bones and teeth, rather than depositing in soft tissues. This partnership is key for maintaining strong bones and a healthy cardiovascular system.

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together

The relationship between vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is a classic example of nutrient synergy. Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption by supporting calcium-binding proteins in the intestine. Meanwhile, vitamin K2 activates two key proteins: osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps prevent calcium deposition in blood vessels. Thus, D3 helps get calcium into the bloodstream, while K2 ensures it reaches bones and teeth. The MK-7 form of K2 in CanPrev D3 & K2 Drops has a longer half-life than MK-4, providing sustained activation of these proteins over 24 hours with a single daily dose.

Key Health Benefits

When taken together, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 offer a range of benefits:*

• Bone and Dental Health: Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and to normal bone health. Vitamin K contributes to maintenance of normal bones, supporting strong teeth and skeletal structure.
• Immune Support: Vitamin D contributes to normal function of the immune system, especially during seasons with limited sun exposure.
• Cardiovascular Support: Vitamin K activates matrix GLA protein, which helps maintain normal calcium balance in blood vessels, supporting normal cardiovascular function.

These benefits work together to help you maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.
