Focus Pharmacology Vitamin K2 with D3 Extra Strength - 10,000 IU D3 & 200 mcg K2 (MK-7), 60 Capsules

Key Health Benefits

• Bone Health: Vitamin D3 contributes to normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, while vitamin K2 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Together they support strong, healthy bones as you age.
• Cardiovascular Support: By activating matrix GLA protein, vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal blood vessels, helping to keep calcium where it belongs.
• Immune Function: Vitamin D3 plays a role in the normal function of the immune system, helping your body defend against seasonal challenges.
• Dental Health: Proper calcium distribution also benefits teeth, as vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to tooth enamel and dentin, supporting dental health.

Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?

Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 form a powerful duo that supports your body’s calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 helps increase calcium absorption from the digestive tract, while vitamin K2 helps direct that calcium to the bones and teeth where it is needed most. This synergistic action helps maintain proper calcium balance and supports bone density. Without sufficient K2, calcium can be deposited in soft tissues like arteries, which is not ideal for cardiovascular health. Taking them together ensures that calcium is used effectively throughout the body.

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the intestines, enhancing calcium uptake. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) activates key proteins such as osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP). Osteocalcin helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, promoting strong bones, while MGP helps prevent calcium from depositing in arterial walls. This complementary mechanism helps ensure that calcium goes where it belongs—into your skeleton—and stays away from areas where it could cause harm. The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 used in this supplement has a longer half-life than MK-4, providing sustained support throughout the day.

Recommended Dosage

The suggested serving for adults is 1 to 2 capsules once daily with a meal. Do not exceed two capsules per day unless advised by a health care practitioner. As with any supplement, it is wise to discuss your individual needs with a health care provider, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition.

What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement

An effective D3 + K2 supplement should provide optimal dosages of both nutrients in bio-available forms. This formula delivers 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol from lanolin) and 200 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7, a form derived from natural sources that maintains activity for up to 24 hours. It also includes Bioperine, a black pepper extract that may help enhance nutrient absorption. The product is Non-GM, gluten-free, and soya-free, manufactured in an MHRA-registered facility in the UK under strict GMP standards. Each batch is rigorously tested for purity and potency to ensure you receive a high-quality supplement you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to take this supplement?

Since vitamin D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, taking this supplement with a meal that contains fat—such as breakfast or lunch—can optimise absorption. Consistency is key; take it at the same time each day.

Can I take this supplement with other medications?

If you are taking blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin), consult your health care provider before using vitamin K2, as it may interfere with anticoagulation therapy. Also, inform your pharmacist about all supplements you take to avoid potential interactions.

Are there any side effects?

When taken as directed, side effects are rare. Vitamin D3 at high doses (exceeding 4000 IU daily) may cause toxicity over time, but this formula provides 10,000 IU per serving—only 1–2 capsules per day are recommended. Always stick to the suggested dose and consult a health care professional if you have concerns.
