With the UK's lack of year-round sunshine, maintaining adequate vitamin D levels can be a challenge. Ultra6 Nutrition's liquid vitamin D3 and K2 supplement provides a simple, flavourless solution to help you support your daily intake. These easy-to-take drops can be added to your favourite beverage, making them a convenient addition to your morning routine.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is known to support the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, contributing to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) activates proteins that help direct calcium to the bones and teeth, and supports normal blood clotting. Working together, these two vitamins help ensure that calcium is used effectively in the body.*
Ultra6 Nutrition's vitamin D3 and K2 drops deliver these nutrients in a convenient liquid form. The liquid formulation is designed for efficient absorption, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer drops over pills or capsules. Plus, the tasteless and odour-free formula makes it easy to incorporate into any routine—simply add a few drops to your favourite beverage or meal.

What to Look For in a D3 and K2 Supplement
When selecting a vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, consider the form and dosage. The liquid drop format allows for flexible dosage and can be added to food or drink. The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 is ideal due to its longer half-life, providing consistent support. Ultra6 Nutrition's drops are flavourless and odour-free, manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in the USA. The product is non-GMO and undergoes third-party testing (check the label for specifics).
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the diet, and vitamin K2 directs that calcium to where it is needed most. Without sufficient K2, calcium may be deposited in soft tissues. Taking them together helps maintain a healthy calcium balance, supporting bone health and normal blood clotting.*
Recommended Dosage
The optimal dosage varies by individual, but typical doses range from 1000 to 5000 IU of vitamin D3 and 45 to 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (MK-7) per day. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label. For best results, take with a meal containing healthy fats to enhance absorption. Consult your health care professional for personalized advice.
