Getting the right balance of vitamins D3 and K2 is one of the smartest steps you can take for your long‑term health. NatureCity TrueK2D3 brings together two premium plant‑based forms—VegD3 from algae and MenaQ7 vitamin K2 as MK‑7 from chickpea—to give you a clean, effective supplement that fits a vegan lifestyle. Each capsule delivers 2,500 IU of D3 and 90 mcg of K2 MK‑7, making it simple to adjust your intake.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
The partnership between vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 is all about calcium management. Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium from food, while vitamin K2 activates key proteins that direct that calcium to bones and teeth—and away from soft tissues like arteries. This means the calcium you get is put to work where it matters most.
Specifically, vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin (which binds calcium to bone) and matrix GLA protein (which helps keep blood vessels flexible). By supporting these natural processes, the D3+K2 combination contributes to the normal utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, as well as the maintenance of normal bones.
What to Look for in a D3 + K2 Supplement
Not all D3+K2 products are the same. TrueK2D3 stands out because of its thoughtful formulation:
-
Plant‑Based D3: Sourced from algae (VegD3)—perfect for vegans and vegetarians.
-
Premium K2: Features MenaQ7, a well‑researched form of vitamin K2 as MK‑7 with a long half‑life for steady activity.
-
Optimum Dosage: A two‑capsule serving gives you 5,000 IU of D3 and 180 mcg of K2 MK‑7, a widely studied ratio.
-
Third‑Party Tested: Made in a cGMP‑certified facility in the USA with strict quality controls.
-
Non‑GMO & Vegan: Free from soya, gluten, and animal products; capsules are made from vegetable cellulose.
When choosing a supplement, look for bio-available forms (MK‑7 is better than MK‑4) and transparent sourcing. NatureCity has been a trusted brand for over 20 years, committed to science‑backed nutrition.
Key Health Benefits
Cognitive Health
Early research suggests that both D3 and K2 may play a part in brain health. Some studies indicate they could help support cognitive function and protect neurones, whilst more research is needed. This area is still emerging, but the potential is promising.
Bone Health
TrueK2D3 supports normal bone density and strength by promoting calcium absorption and its incorporation into bone tissue. Adequate vitamin D and K levels are essential for maintaining healthy bones as you age.
Cardiovascular Health
By helping direct calcium away from arteries and towards bones, vitamin K2 (MK‑7) may help maintain arterial flexibility and support overall cardiovascular health. This is especially important for those concerned about vascular calcification.
Immune Function
Vitamin D3 is well known for its role in supporting a healthy immune response. Emerging research also suggests vitamin K2 may contribute to immune regulation, making this combination a valuable addition to your wellness routine.
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Taking D3 and K2 together creates a synergistic effect. While D3 boosts calcium absorption, K2 ensures that calcium ends up in the right places—bones and teeth—rather than settling in soft tissues. This is why many health professionals recommend combining them for a more comprehensive approach to bone, heart, and immune support.
NatureCity TrueK2D3 combines two premium plant‑based forms: VegD3 (vitamin D3 from algae) and MenaQ7 (vitamin K2 as MK‑7 from chickpea). This vegan‑friendly formula provides 2,500 IU of D3 and 90 mcg of K2 MK‑7 per capsule, making it easy to customise your intake.
Recommended Dosage
For best results, take two capsules daily with a meal containing fat, as both vitamins are fat‑soluble. Each serving provides 5,000 IU of plant‑based vitamin D3 and 180 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK‑7. If you are new to supplementation, you may start with one capsule per day and increase as needed. Always consult your health care professional to determine the right dosage for your individual needs.
