What Makes This Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplement Special?
Most D3 and K2 supplements only provide one type of vitamin K, but Peak Performance includes all three—K1, MK-4, and MK-7—to cover a broader spectrum of benefits. Each capsule delivers 5000 IU of vitamin D3 (from lanolin) along with a balanced amount of each K form. The capsules are small, easy to swallow, and made from vegetable cellulose, suitable for vegetarians. The formula is free of gluten, GMOs, preservatives, artificial colours, soya, and dairy. It is manufactured in the USA under strict GMP regulations for quality and purity. Additionally, every purchase supports a 1-for-1 donation programme with Vitamin Angels, providing life-saving vitamins to children in need.
Why Should You Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 is well known for supporting calcium absorption, but without adequate vitamin K, that calcium may not end up where it is needed most. Vitamin K helps direct calcium to the bones and teeth, while helping to maintain its balance away from soft tissues like arteries.* This synergy is why many health-conscious individuals choose a D3 and K2 combination. Peak Performance Advanced Vitamin D 5000 IU includes all three types of vitamin K—K1, MK-4, and MK-7—to provide comprehensive support for your skeletal and cardiovascular systems.*

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K Work Together
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, which helps the body absorb dietary calcium more efficiently.* Vitamin K2, particularly as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), helps activate osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix.* It also activates matrix GLA protein, which helps maintain arterial flexibility.* The inclusion of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) further supports normal blood clotting and bone metabolism.* By combining D3 with all three forms of K, this formula aims to optimise calcium utilisation throughout the body.*

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best form of vitamin K2?
MK-7 is often preferred due to its longer half-life, allowing for once-daily dosage. MK-4 has a shorter duration but is also included for its unique benefits. Both forms are present in this formula, along with vitamin K1.
When should I take this supplement?
Take one capsule daily with a meal that contains fat, as vitamins D and K are fat-soluble. This enhances absorption. Consistent daily uses is recommended for best results.
Can I take this with other supplements?
Yes, this supplement pairs well with calcium, magnesium, and omega-3s. If you are on blood thinners like warfarin, consult your health care provider before taking vitamin K supplements, as vitamin K can interfere with medication.
Is this product vegan?
Vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin (sheep's wool), so it is not vegan. However, the capsules are vegetable-based and the product is free of animal-derived ingredients beyond the D3.
