Looking for a comprehensive approach to bone and immune health? Dr. Berg's Maximum Strength 7-in-1 Vitamin D3 K2 combines 5000 IU of naturally derived vitamin D3 with 50 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7, plus key cofactors to optimise absorption. This formula is designed to support your body's utilisation of calcium and other essential nutrients.
Key Health Benefits of Vitamin D3 and K2
When taken together with the right cofactors, vitamin D3 and K2 can offer multiple advantages. Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, which is important for maintaining normal bones and teeth.* Vitamin K2, specifically as MK-7, contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting.* The additional cofactors – magnesium, zinc, vitamin B6 – each have their own approved health claims, such as contributing to normal energy-yielding metabolism (magnesium) and normal immune function (zinc).
-
Bone health: Vitamin D3 aids calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, thereby supporting bone density and strength.*
-
Immune support: Vitamin D3 and zinc both contribute to the normal function of the immune system.*
-
Heart health: Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and, by directing calcium to bones, supports normal cardiovascular function.*
Users appreciate that this formula simplifies their routine while providing targeted support across multiple body systems.
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and K2 work in tandem to regulate calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the gut, and vitamin K2 activates proteins that direct this calcium to the bones and teeth where it is needed, preventing it from depositing in soft tissues such as arteries. This synergistic action is crucial for maintaining strong bones and a healthy cardiovascular system.*
How Does This Unique 7-in-1 Formula Work?
Dr. Berg's formula goes beyond the classic D3 and K2 combination by including cofactors that are essential for vitamin D activation and function:
-
Magnesium: Supports the enzymatic conversion of vitamin D into its active form. In line with EFSA, magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
-
Zinc: Plays a role in vitamin D metabolism and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
-
Vitamin B6: Contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and normal psychological function.
-
MCT Oil: Provides healthy fats that enhance the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins D3 and K2.
-
Ox Bile: Aids in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats, ensuring the fat-soluble vitamins are effectively taken up.
This comprehensive approach ensures that your body can effectively absorb, activate, and utilise the key nutrients for maximum benefit.
What Makes Dr. Berg's D3 K2 Supplement Stand Out?
Quality and purity are paramount. This supplement is manufactured in the United States in cGMP-certified facilities, with rigorous testing for potency and purity for each batch. The vitamin D3 is naturally derived from lanolin, and the K2 is in the highly bioavailable MK-7 form, which has a longer half-life compared to MK-4. The inclusion of MCT oil and ox bile further enhances absorption, ensuring you get the most from every capsule.
