Micro Ingredients Vitamin D3 1,000 IU + K2 MK-7 25 mcg, 300 Softgels with Virgin Coconut Oil

Ensuring your body makes the best uses of calcium involves more than just vitamin D. By pairing it with vitamin K2 in its highly bio-available MK-7 form, you help direct calcium towards your bones and away from soft tissues. This combination is a popular choice for those aiming to support skeletal strength and cardiovascular function.*

The Synergy Between D3 and K2

When you take vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), it promotes calcium absorption in the gut. But absorbed calcium needs guidance to reach the right places. That’s where vitamin K2 steps in. Specifically as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), it activates osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP). Osteocalcin binds calcium to the bone matrix, supporting mineralisation. MGP helps prevent calcium deposits in arteries, maintaining arterial flexibility. Together, D3 and K2 help balance calcium metabolism.*

The MK-7 form is preferred due to its longer half-life, providing sustained activity. Micro Ingredients uses top-grade MK-7 to maximise benefits.

Why Take Them Together?

Many people take vitamin D3 alone, but without sufficient K2, calcium may not be utilised effectively. By combining D3 with K2, you help ensure that the calcium you consume supports your skeletal system rather than accumulating elsewhere. This synergistic duo is a smart choice for maintaining bone density and cardiovascular health.*

Key Health Benefits

• Bone Support: Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, while K2 helps incorporate calcium into the bone matrix, maintaining strong, healthy bones.*
• Immune Health: Vitamin D3 contributes to normal immune function. Adequate levels help your immune system respond effectively to seasonal challenges.*
• Heart Health: By activating MGP, K2 helps maintain arterial flexibility and healthy calcium distribution, supporting cardiovascular wellness.*
• Dental Health: Proper calcium utilisation guided by K2 also supports strong teeth and gums.*

What to Look For in a Supplement

• Form of K2: MK-7 is superior due to its longer half-life. Avoid synthetic MK-4.
• Dosage Ratio: A common effective ratio is 1,000 IU D3 to 25 mcg K2 (MK-7), as in this product.
• Absorption Enhancers: Being fat-soluble, D3 and K2 absorb best with fat. This product includes virgin coconut oil (MCTs) to aid absorption.
• Purity: Non-GMO, allergen-free, free from soya, dairy, gluten, preservatives, artificial flavours, and peanuts. Each batch is third-party tested.
• Ease of Uses: Softgels are easy to swallow for daily uses.

Recommended Dosage

Adults take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal containing fat (e.g., breakfast or lunch) to enhance absorption. Each soft gel capsule provides 1,000 IU vitamin D3 and 25 mcg vitamin K2 (MK-7). Pregnant or nursing women should consult a health care professional before uses. Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take this if I am on blood thinners?

If taking anticoagulants like warfarin, consult your doctor before using vitamin K2, as it may interfere. For most people, the K2 amount here is safe.

When is the best time to take these softgels?

Take with a meal containing fat to improve absorption due to the coconut oil and fat-soluble vitamins.

Are there any side effects?

D3 and K2 are well tolerated at recommended doses. If you have a history of kidney stones or hypercalcaemia, consult your doctor.
