Dr. Mercola Vitamins D3 & K2 Low Dose - Maintain Vitamin D Levels - Supports Immune & Bone Health - MenaQ7 Chickpea-Sourced K2 - Non-GMO, Gluten-Free & Soya-Free - 30 Capsules

Who Might Benefit from This Low-Dose Supplement?

This product is designed for individuals who have already achieved healthy vitamin D levels and wish to maintain them without taking high doses. It is also ideal for those sensitive to higher amounts of vitamin D or K2, or who prefer a conservative supplementation approach.

People with limited sun exposure—such as those living in northern latitudes, working indoors, or regularly using sunscreen—may benefit from a maintenance dose. Older adults, individuals with darker skin, and those with digestive conditions affecting fat absorption may also find this formula helpful. However, it is not intended to correct a significant deficiency; higher doses may be needed under medical supervision.

The K2 is sourced from chickpeas rather than animal products, making this supplement suitable for vegetarians. It is also free from common allergens: non-GMO, gluten-free, and soya-free.

What Are the Key Benefits of Vitamin D3 and K2?

Bone Health Support – Vitamin D3 contributes to normal calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to the bones, supporting strong, healthy bones and teeth.

Immune Function – Vitamin D3 plays a role in the normal functioning of the immune system, particularly beneficial during winter months or when sun exposure is limited.

Muscle Function Support – Adequate vitamin D levels are associated with normal muscle function, which is important for mobility and reducing the risk of falls in older adults.

Blood Coagulation – Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and proper calcium metabolism, aiding overall cardiovascular health when combined with D3.

Each benefit is backed by research, but individual results may vary. Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

Understanding Vitamin D3 and K2

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) are two fat-soluble nutrients that work synergistically to support key bodily functions. Dr. Mercola's low-dose formula provides 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 45 mcg of vitamin K2 per capsule, designed for those needing a modest amount to maintain already optimal blood levels. The K2 is sourced from chickpeas using patented MenaQ7 technology, offering a stable, bio-available form of menaquinone-7.

Vitamin D3 is the preferred form of vitamin D because it is more efficiently utilised by the body compared to D2. As a fat-soluble vitamin, D3 is best absorbed with a meal containing fat. Similarly, vitamin K2 requires dietary fat for absorption. Combining both nutrients supports multiple physiological pathways without excessive doses.

Recommended Dosage and How to Take

The suggested serving is one capsule per day, providing 1,000 IU (25 mcg) of vitamin D3 and 45 mcg of vitamin K2. This is a lower dosage compared to many vitamin D supplements (which often provide 2,000–5,000 IU). If unsure of your vitamin D status, a blood test is the best way to determine your needs.

For optimal absorption, take this supplement with a meal containing some fat, such as breakfast or lunch. The capsule is small and easy to swallow. With 30 capsules per bottle, it provides a 30-day supply. Always follow the dosage on the label and consult your health care practitioner if you have any questions.

Quality and Sourcing

Dr. Mercola is committed to high-quality ingredients and transparent manufacturing. The vitamin K2 is MenaQ7, a patented, chickpea-sourced menaquinone-7 clinically studied for bioavailability and stability. Unlike synthetic K2 forms, MenaQ7 is derived from plant sources through fermentation, ensuring a natural profile.

This supplement is manufactured in facilities following strict quality control procedures and is third-party tested for purity and potency. The non-GMO, gluten-free, and soya-free certifications make it accessible to many dietary preferences. Dr. Mercola's brand philosophy centres on regenerative practices and informed consent, empowering you to take control of your health.

Safety Considerations

Vitamin D3 and K2 are generally well tolerated at recommended doses. Because vitamin D is fat-soluble, it can accumulate over time, so do not exceed the recommended dosage. Taking more than 4,000 IU of vitamin D per day from all sources may increase the risk of adverse effects, especially over long periods.

Vitamin K2 has a very low toxicity profile. However, individuals taking anticoagulant medications (such as warfarin) should consult their health care provider before taking vitamin K2 supplements, as vitamin K can interfere with blood thinning effects.

As with any supplement, discontinue uses if you experience unexpected symptoms and consult a health care professional. Pregnant or nursing women, and those with medical conditions, should seek medical advice before uses.
