Key Health Benefits
-
Normal Bones: Vitamin D3 contributes to the absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, while vitamin K2 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.*
-
Immune Function: Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system.*
-
Normal Blood Clotting: Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting.*
-
Calcium Distribution: This combination supports the proper distribution of calcium, helping to ensure it is deposited in bones rather than in soft tissues.*
This supplement is designed to support these areas. Individual results may vary. Always consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement.*
Recommended Dosage
The recommended serving is one capsule per day, taken with food. Each capsule delivers 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) and 90 mcg of vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7, MK-7). These levels are commonly used to maintain adequate vitamin D status and to promote the synergistic benefits of K2. If you have specific health concerns or are under medical supervision, consult your health care provider for personalized dosage advice.
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
When selecting a vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, consider dosage, form, and purity. This product provides 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 90 mcg of vitamin K2 (as MK-7). The MK-7 form is preferred due to its longer half-life, allowing once-daily dosage while maintaining steady levels in the body.
Quality is paramount: This supplement is non-GMO, vegetarian, and manufactured in a facility that follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Each batch is tested for purity and potency, ensuring a reliable product. It contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or common allergens.
The 150-capsule bottle offers a five-month supply, making it convenient for long-term uses. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take vitamin D3 and K2 separately?
Yes, but taking them together ensures proper calcium utilisation. Many experts recommend a combined supplement for convenience and synergy.
What time of day should I take it?
Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble, so taking them with a meal that contains fat enhances absorption. Morning or with your largest meal is often recommended.
Is this supplement safe if I take blood thinners?
If you are on blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, consult your health care provider before taking vitamin K2, as it may interact with anticoagulant therapy.
How long does one bottle last?
One capsule per day provides a five-month supply (150 servings).
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work as a team to support your body’s calcium management. While vitamin D3 helps increase calcium absorption from the diet, vitamin K2 assists in directing that calcium to the bones and teeth, where it is needed, and away from soft tissues such as arteries. This synergy is essential for maintaining strong bones and overall wellbeing.*
Many people take vitamin D3 supplements to support immune function, but without adequate vitamin K2, calcium may not be properly utilised. By taking both together, you help ensure that calcium supports bone density rather than being deposited in vessels. This combination is particularly valuable for those with limited sun exposure or dietary sources of these vitamins.*
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form of vitamin D that your skin produces in response to sunlight. It supports the absorption of calcium in the intestines, helping maintain healthy calcium levels in the blood. However, calcium that remains unguided can potentially deposit in blood vessels. This is where vitamin K2 comes in.
Vitamin K2, specifically as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), activates proteins that regulate calcium distribution. One key protein is osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, and another is matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps prevent calcium from depositing in arterial walls. By activating these proteins, vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and helps maintain normal bones.*
The MK-7 form has a longer half-life than other forms (such as MK-4), allowing steady, sustained support with once-daily dosage. Together, D3 and K2 create a balanced approach to calcium metabolism, promoting both skeletal strength and cardiovascular wellness.*
