Discover Carlson Kid'S Super — Each drop delivers a precise dose of 1000 IU D3 and 22.5 mcg K2, making it simple to include in your child's daily wellness routine.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, aiding calcium absorption from the diet.* Vitamin K2 then activates two important proteins: osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein, which helps prevent calcium from settling in arteries and other soft tissues.*
The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 used in Kid's Super Daily D3+K2 has a longer half-life than MK-4, allowing for steady, sustained support throughout the day. This bioactive form is derived from a fermentation process ensuring purity and consistency.
The Importance of Combining D3 and K2
Many parents are aware that vitamin D3 is essential for strong bones, but fewer realise that vitamin K2 is the crucial partner that helps direct calcium to the right places. Kid's Super Daily D3+K2 combines 1000 IU (25 mcg) of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol with 22.5 mcg of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Together, they support the body's ability to absorb calcium and guide it towards bones and teeth, while helping maintain arterial flexibility.*
Without sufficient K2, calcium absorbed thanks to D3 may deposit in soft tissues rather than bones. This synergistic duo ensures that the calcium your child gets from food or supplements works more effectively for bone development.*
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to give this supplement?
Vitamin D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, so they are best absorbed when taken with a meal that contains some fat. Many parents add a drop to breakfast or dinner.
Can I give this to my child with other supplements?
Yes, but always consult your child's health care professional before combining supplements, especially if your child is on any medications or has an existing health condition.
Is it safe for children who take blood thinners?
Vitamin K2 can interact with anticoagulant medications like warfarin. If your child is taking blood thinners, consult a health care professional before uses.
Why choose MK-7 over MK-4?
MK-7 stays active in the body longer, allowing for once-daily dosage and more consistent support for calcium utilisation.
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
