NatureWise Vegan Vitamin D3 + K2 - 5000IU D3, 100mcg K2 MK-7 - Bone Support - Organic Olive Oil

Key Health Benefits

This vegan supplement combines 5000 IU of vitamin D3 from lichen with 100 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7 to support several aspects of your health. Here are the primary benefits:

• Bone Health: Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium from food, while vitamin K2 ensures that calcium is directed to the bones and teeth, where it is needed for strength and density.* Adequate intake of both vitamins is essential for normal bone formation.
• Heart Health: Vitamin K2 activates matrix GLA protein, which helps prevent calcium deposition in blood vessels, thereby supporting normal arterial flexibility and cardiovascular function.*
• Immune Support: Vitamin D3 is well known for its role in maintaining normal immune system function, helping the body defend against everyday challenges.*
• Overall Wellbeing: The synergistic action of D3 and K2 extends to muscle function, cellular health, and more, contributing to your general vitality.*

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together

To get the most out of these nutrients, it helps to understand their mechanism. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is converted in the body into its active form, which stimulates the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut. This protein boosts calcium absorption from your diet. However, absorbing calcium is only half the story – without proper direction, calcium can accumulate in soft tissues like arteries. Vitamin K2 steps in to guide calcium where it belongs.

Vitamin K2, specifically menaquinone-7 (MK-7), activates two critical proteins: osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP). Osteocalcin binds calcium to the bone matrix, promoting bone mineralisation. MGP inhibits calcium from depositing in vessel walls, helping maintain arterial elasticity. By activating these proteins, vitamin K2 ensures calcium is used wisely.

Our NatureWise formula uses VitaMK7, a natural, clinically studied source of vitamin K2 MK-7. Unlike MK-4, which has a short half-life and requires multiple doses, MK-7 stays active for up to 24 hours, allowing for once-daily convenience. The inclusion of organic cold-pressed olive oil further enhances absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins, boosting their bioavailability.*

Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?

Vitamin D3 and K2 are two fat-soluble vitamins that work in tandem to maintain proper calcium balance. Vitamin D3 boosts calcium absorption, while K2 directs that calcium to bones and teeth, steering it away from soft tissues. This partnership supports both bone health and cardiovascular function.* Many people take vitamin D3 alone, but without sufficient K2, calcium may not be properly utilised. NatureWise Vegan Vitamin D3 + K2 combines both in one soft gel capsule, providing 5000 IU D3 and 100 mcg K2 MK-7, making it easier to support your body's calcium management system.*

What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement

When choosing a supplement, quality and form are key. Here’s what to consider, and how NatureWise meets those criteria:

• Source of Vitamin D3: Many D3 supplements come from lanolin (sheep's wool). NatureWise uses VegaDelight, a vegan D3 from sustainably sourced lichen (a type of algae), providing a bio-available form suitable for plant-based diets.
• Form of Vitamin K2: MK-7 is the most effective form, staying in the bloodstream longer than MK-4. NatureWise uses VitaMK7, a natural, non-synthetic MK-7 with clinical backing for bone and heart health.
• Absorption: Fat-soluble vitamins need dietary fat for optimal uptake. This supplement is formulated with organic cold-pressed olive oil, enhancing absorption without heat or hexane solvents.
• Purity and Testing: NatureWise is NSF certified, ensuring independent verification of contents and purity. It is also third-party tested for potency and free from harmful contaminants.
• Certifications: This product is vegan, non-GM, gluten-free, and free from common allergens (wheat, eggs, soya, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish). Manufactured in a cGMP-certified facility.

Recommended Dosage

Adults should take one soft gel capsule per day with a meal containing fat for best absorption. Each soft gel capsule provides 5000 IU (125 mcg) vitamin D3 and 100 mcg vitamin K2 (as MK-7). This dosage is suitable for most healthy individuals aiming to maintain optimal levels. Individual needs may vary, so we advise consulting a health care professional, especially if you have underlying conditions or are pregnant or nursing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take this supplement if I am on blood thinners?

If you take anticoagulant medications like warfarin, consult your health care provider before using any vitamin K supplement, as it may affect blood clotting.

What is the best time to take it?
