Key Health Benefits

• Bone Health: Vitamin D3 contributes to normal calcium absorption and to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin K2 also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
• Immune Support: Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Heart Health: Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting, which is important for cardiovascular health. Additionally, by helping to direct calcium to bones rather than soft tissues, it may help maintain healthy blood vessels.
• Dental Health: Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth. Vitamin K2 also plays a role in oral health by supporting tooth mineralisation.
• Overall Wellness: Vitamin D3 further contributes to normal muscle function and to the maintenance of normal bones, making this duo a valuable addition to the daily routine of active individuals.

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together

Discover Wild Foods 5000Iu — Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption from your diet, while vitamin K2 ensures that calcium is directed to your bones and teeth, rather than accumulating in soft tissues like arteries. Without sufficient K2, the calcium that D3 mobilises may not be used effectively. This synergy is why many people opt for a combined supplement like Wild Foods Vitamin D3 + K2. Each capsule provides 5000 IU of vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7—the most bio-available and long-lasting form. Additionally, black pepper extract (BioPerine®) is included to boost absorption, so your body receives the full benefit.

Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?

A combined supplement of vitamin D3 and K2 can be a wise choice for those wanting to optimise their calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, which helps maintain healthy calcium absorption. Vitamin K2, in turn, activates two key proteins: osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which may help prevent calcium deposition in blood vessels. This teamwork supports bone mineral density and arterial flexibility. Many people take vitamin D3 without considering K2, but research suggests that optimal calcium metabolism requires both nutrients. Wild Foods combines these two fat-soluble vitamins in a single, convenient capsule with a ratio of 50:1 (5000 IU D3 to 100 mcg K2), a ratio commonly recommended by nutrition experts.

What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement

Not all D3 and K2 supplements are created equal. When choosing a product, consider the form of K2: MK-7 (as used in Wild Foods) has a longer half-life than MK-4, meaning it stays active in the body longer and requires fewer daily doses. Look for vitamin D3 from lanolin (a natural source) or from lichen (vegan-friendly). Wild Foods uses plant-based capsules and a base of organic tapioca maltodextrin, ensuring the product is non-GMO, soya-free, gluten-free, and suitable for vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. The inclusion of black pepper extract (BioPerine®) enhances absorption of both D3 and K2, making the formula more effective. Also, verify third-party testing and purity standards—Wild Foods emphasises a clean supply chain and small-batch production for quality control.

Recommended Dosage

For adults, take one (1) capsule daily with a meal, or as directed by a health care professional. Each capsule provides 5000 IU (125 mcg) of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (MK-7). Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your doctor. Individuals with specific health conditions or those taking medications should consult a health care practitioner before uses. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to take this supplement?

Because vitamin D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, take them with a meal containing dietary fat for optimal absorption. Many people take it with breakfast or lunch.

Can I take vitamin D3 and K2 separately?

Yes, but combining them ensures the right ratio and convenience. Taking high-dose D3 without K2 may increase calcium absorption without proper direction, which some experts believe could be less beneficial for arterial health.

Are there any side effects?

When taken as directed, side effects are rare. High doses of D3 can cause toxicity over time, but 5000 IU is within safe limits for most adults. If you are taking anticoagulants such as warfarin, consult your health care provider before taking vitamin K2, as it may interact with medication.

How many capsules per bottle?

Each bottle contains 60 capsules, a two-month supply at the recommended serving of one capsule daily.
