Ora Organic Vitamin D3 5000IU + K2 - Vegan Chewable Tablets (30 Count)

Key Health Benefits

This combination of vitamin D3 and K2 supports bone health by helping your body absorb and utilise calcium effectively. Vitamin D3 contributes to normal immune function, while vitamin K2 helps maintain normal blood clotting and bone structure.* Together, they ensure calcium is directed to the bones and teeth rather than soft tissues, promoting cardiovascular wellness.

The formula delivers 5000 IU of vitamin D3 from lichen and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7 from chickpeas. The MK-7 form has a longer half-life, providing sustained support throughout the day.

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) stimulates the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, enhancing calcium absorption. However, without sufficient vitamin K2, calcium may not be properly deposited in the bones and could accumulate in blood vessels. Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps maintain arterial flexibility by inhibiting calcium deposition in vessel walls.*

By combining D3 and K2, you support the 'calcium paradox' where calcium goes where it is needed and stays out of areas where it could cause harm. This synergy is particularly important for those taking higher doses of vitamin D, as supplementary D3 increases calcium absorption and may require adequate K2 to maintain proper calcium balance.

Why Choose a Combined D3 and K2 Supplement?

Vitamin D3 and K2 work synergistically to optimise your health. While D3 helps your body absorb calcium from the diet, K2 directs that calcium to the bones and teeth, away from soft tissues such as arteries. This complementary action is essential for maintaining strong bones, healthy teeth, and cardiovascular health.*

Many health-conscious individuals choose a combined supplement to ensure proper calcium utilisation. This plant-based formula delivers a potent dose in a convenient tablet.

What Makes Ora Organic's D3 + K2 Supplement Special?

This supplement is 100% plant-based. Most vitamin D3 supplements derive from lanolin (sheep's wool grease), but Ora Organic's D3 is sustainably sourced from lichen, making it suitable for vegans and those with dietary restrictions. The K2 comes from fermented chickpeas, providing the highly bio-available MK-7 form.

The chewable tablet format is easy to take, even for those who dislike swallowing pills. It has a pleasant sweet taste from organic erythritol and xylitol, with no added sugar or artificial flavours. Customers appreciate the independent testing for purity and potency, as well as the glass bottle packaging that preserves freshness and is eco-friendly.

Additionally, the formula is non-GMO, gluten-free, and certified vegan. It is designed to maximise absorption when taken with a meal containing fat, as D3 and K2 are fat-soluble vitamins.

Recommended Dosage and Usage Tips

Each chewable tablet provides 5000 IU of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (MK-7). This is a potent dose suitable for adults who need additional support, especially those with limited sun exposure or dietary intake. One tablet daily is recommended. Do not exceed the suggested dose unless advised by a health care professional.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. The glass bottle helps maintain product quality.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult your doctor before uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to take vitamin D3 and K2?

Take one chewable tablet daily with breakfast or lunch, as the presence of dietary fat enhances absorption. Consistency is key; aim to take it at the same time each day.

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

If you are taking anticoagulant medications like warfarin, consult your health care provider before taking vitamin K2, as it may interfere with the medication's effectiveness.

How does this compare to non-vegan D3 supplements?

Many D3 supplements are derived from lanolin, which is not vegan. This Ora Organic product is completely plant-based, making it a great choice for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone seeking a sustainable source.
