NatureWise presents a carefully balanced supplement combining vitamin D3 and K2 in one convenient daily soft gel capsule. Each capsule provides 4,000 IU of vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7, MK-7), suspended in organic extra virgin coconut oil to aid absorption. This formulation is designed to support your body's calcium utilisation and contribute to overall wellbeing.*
Recommended Dosage and Usage
Take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal containing fat, such as breakfast or lunch, to optimise absorption. The serving size delivers 4,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (MK-7), suitable for most adults aiming to maintain healthy vitamin D levels and support bone and cardiovascular health. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
The synergy between vitamins D3 and K2 is a well-studied mechanism in nutrient metabolism. Vitamin D3 supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the intestinal lining, enhancing calcium uptake. Meanwhile, vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposition in blood vessels. This complementary action helps maintain healthy calcium balance, contributing to bone mineral density and cardiovascular wellness.*
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 is well known for its role in calcium absorption from the gut, but without adequate vitamin K2, calcium can accumulate in soft tissues like arteries. Vitamin K2 activates proteins such as osteocalcin and MGP, which help direct calcium to bones and teeth while keeping it out of blood vessels. Taking them together ensures your body makes the most of the calcium you consume, supporting skeletal strength and arterial flexibility.*
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
Not all D3 and K2 supplements are alike. NatureWise undertake the most bioactive form of vitamin K2—MK-7 (menaquinone-7)—which stays active in the body longer than the shorter-acting MK-4. The D3 is pure cholecalciferol, identical to the form your skin produces from sunlight. The soft gel capsules are filled with organic extra virgin coconut oil, a healthy fat that improves absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins. Each batch is independently tested for purity and potency, and the product is non-GM, soya-free, gluten-free, and made with halal gelatin. These quality benchmarks ensure you’re getting a clean, effective supplement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take vitamin D3 and K2 separately?
While you can take them individually, combining them in one soft gel capsule ensures the correct ratio and convenience. The synergy works best when taken together with a fat-containing meal.
What is the best time to take this supplement?
Take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal that contains fat (like breakfast or lunch) to maximise absorption. Consistency is key.
Are there any side effects?
Vitamin D3 and K2 are generally well tolerated. However, if you are on anticoagulant medications like warfarin, consult your health care provider before taking vitamin K2, as it may interfere with therapy.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
No, because the soft gel capsule undertake halal gelatin (from animal sources). The vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin. Please look for a vegan alternative if required.
