Key Health Benefits
Bone Health: Vitamin D3 contributes to normal calcium and phosphorus absorption and utilisation, while vitamin K2 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Together with calcium and magnesium, this formula helps support healthy bone density.*
Immune Support: Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system, and zinc contributes to normal immune function and cell protection from oxidative stress.*
Cardiovascular Health: By activating matrix GLA protein (MGP), vitamin K2 helps maintain normal vascular flexibility and supports healthy calcium balance in the cardiovascular system.*
Recovery and Energy: Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and energy-yielding metabolism, which may assist with post-exercise recovery. Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis and tissue repair.*

Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work as a team to optimise calcium utilisation in the body. Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption from the digestive tract, while vitamin K2 helps activate proteins that guide calcium to the bones and teeth—and away from soft tissues like arteries. This synergy is crucial for maintaining strong bones, cardiovascular health, and overall mineral balance. Many people take vitamin D3 alone, but without adequate K2, calcium may not be properly directed, potentially accumulating where it isn't needed. Adding K2 ensures that the calcium you absorb goes where it belongs.
This supplement combines D3 and K2 with additional cofactors: magnesium, zinc, and calcium. Magnesium helps activate vitamin D and supports muscle relaxation, while zinc plays a role in immune function and tissue repair. This comprehensive formula is designed for those seeking complete support for their bone, immune, and recovery needs.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
When you consume vitamin D3, it is converted into its active form, calcitriol, which supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the intestines. This increases calcium absorption. Here's where vitamin K2 steps in—it activates two key proteins: osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP). Osteocalcin helps bind calcium into the bone matrix, while MGP helps keep calcium from depositing in blood vessel walls.
The form of K2 used here is MK-7, a highly bioavailable form derived from natto beans (or synthetic). MK-7 stays active in the bloodstream longer than MK-4, providing sustained support. This product also includes magnesium glycinate—a chelated form that is gentle on the stomach and well-absorbed. Magnesium is essential for converting vitamin D into its active form and for many enzymatic reactions. Zinc and calcium add further support: zinc contributes to immune cell function, and calcium provides the raw material for bone density.
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
When choosing a D3 and K2 supplement, consider the form and dosage of each nutrient. Vitamin D3 is typically dosed in IU (international units), with 10,000 IU per serving being a high-potency option suitable for those with increased needs or under professional guidance. Vitamin K2 should ideally be in the MK-7 form for longer-lasting activity; 200 mcg MK-7 is a well-studied dosage. This product also includes magnesium glycinate (providing 1500 mg magnesium), zinc (50 mg), and calcium (50 mg) to round out the formula.
Look for purity and quality: This supplement is vegan (D3 from lichen, K2 from natto or fermentation) and non-GMO. Third-party testing ensures potency and safety. Avoid unnecessary fillers and artificial additives. The combination of these nutrients in one convenient capsule simplifies your daily routine.
Recommended Dosage and Precautions
This supplement is formulated for adults. Take one capsule daily with a meal, or as directed by your health care provider. Due to the high potency of vitamin D3 (10,000 IU), do not exceed the recommended dosage unless advised by a physician. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
As with any dietary supplement, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. This product is not a substitute for medical treatment. If you have any underlying health conditions or take medications, consult your health care provider before undertake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take this supplement if I am on blood thinners? If you take warfarin or other anticoagulants, consult your health care provider before taking vitamin K2, as K2 may interfere with these medications.
What is the best time to take this supplement? Vitamin D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, so taking them with a meal that contains dietary fat enhances absorption. Morning or evening with food works well.
Are there any side effects? At high doses (e.g., 10,000 IU D3), some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort or changes in calcium levels. It is best to follow recommended dosage and consult a health care professional.
Can I take this if I am pregnant or nursing? Pregnant or nursing women should consult their health care provider before starting any new supplement.
