Key Health Benefits
NatureWise Vegan Vitamin D3 + K2 offers a range of benefits for your overall wellbeing. Here's how this powerful duo supports your body:
-
Bone Health: Vitamin D3 contributes to normal calcium absorption and utilisation, while vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to the bones, supporting bone density and strength.
-
Heart Health: By activating matrix GLA protein (MGP), vitamin K2 helps maintain arterial flexibility and supports normal calcium balance in blood vessels.
-
Immune Function: Vitamin D3 is known to support the normal function of the immune system, helping your body maintain a robust defence system.
-
Dental Health: Both nutrients contribute to the maintenance of normal teeth and support overall oral health.
These benefits make NatureWise an excellent choice for anyone looking to optimise their vitamin D and K levels, especially those following a plant-based diet.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) enhances calcium absorption from food by promoting the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) then activates key proteins—like osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP)—that help incorporate calcium into bone and prevent it from depositing in soft tissues such as arteries.
This synergy is particularly important for individuals with limited sun exposure or higher vitamin D requirements. NatureWise undertake plant-based D3 from lichen (VegaDelight) and natural K2 from non-GMO fermented chickpeas (MenaquinGold), both highly bioavailable forms. The organic MCT oil in each soft gel capsule also aids the absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins.
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
While vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium, vitamin K2 ensures that calcium ends up where it is needed most—your bones and teeth—and away from soft tissues like arteries. This complementary action supports strong bones and a healthy cardiovascular system. Many people take vitamin D3 alone, but without adequate K2, calcium may accumulate in blood vessel walls. By combining both nutrients, you help maintain proper calcium balance throughout the body. NatureWise Vegan Vitamin D3 + K2 delivers these two essential vitamins in one convenient soft gel capsule, with a high-potency dose of 10,000 IU D3 and 200 mcg K2 to support your daily wellness routine.

For most healthy adults, taking one soft gel capsule daily with a meal containing fat is sufficient for optimum absorption.
