Dental Health: Proper calcium utilisation means stronger teeth and gums.*
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) helps your body produce calcium-binding proteins that are essential for absorbing calcium from your food. Vitamin K2, specifically as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), then springs into action by activating osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP). Osteocalcin locks calcium into your bone matrix, while MGP stops it from building up in your arteries.*
This teamwork means that taking D3 without enough K2 could see calcium ending up in your arteries instead of your bones. The MK-7 form in this supplement has a longer half-life than MK-4, giving you more consistent support throughout the day.*
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
When picking a D3 and K2 combo, the form and dosage matter. MK-7 is the preferred form because it stays active in your body longer. This Nature's Truth supplement delivers 100 mcg of MK-7 per softgel – a clinically relevant dose. It also contains vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), though the exact amount is not listed on the label – check the bottle for specifics.
Purity counts. This product is Non-GM, gluten free, and made without wheat, yeast, milk, lactose, soy, artificial colors, flavours, sweeteners, or preservatives. It's backed by three generations of vitamin know-how.
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and K2 work as a team to manage your body's calcium. D3 boosts calcium absorption from your gut, while K2 directs that calcium to your bones and teeth – and away from soft tissues like arteries. This dynamic duo is key for strong bones and a healthy heart.*
Nature's Truth combines both in one convenient softgel, making it easy to add to your daily routine.
Recommended Dosage
The suggested intake is one (1) softgel daily, taken with a meal. Don't exceed the recommended dose. Individual needs vary, so follow the label and chat with a healthcare professional if you need personalised advise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take vitamin D3 and K2 separately?
Yes, but taking them together in a balanced formula ensures optimal synergy and convenience. Nature's Truth gives you both in one softgel for easy daily use.
What is the best time to take this supplement?
Because D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, taking them with a meal that contains fat may boost absorption. Many people take it with breakfast or lunch.
Are there any interactions with medications?
If you're on blood thinners like warfarin, check with your doctor before taking vitamin K2 – it may interfere with anticoagulant therapy. Always talk to a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.
Can I take this if I am pregnant or nursing?
Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any medical condition.
