What Makes This NatureWise Formula Special?
So, what sets this formula apart from the rest? For starters, it uses VegaDELight D3 — a natural, vegan-friendly vitamin D3 sourced from sustainably harvested lichen, not lanolin. That means it’s suitable for vegans and anyone looking to avoid animal products. The K2 comes from MenaquinGold, a patented, non-GM form of menaquinone-7 from fermented chickpeas, backed by clinical research.* Plus, the soft-gels are packed in organic MCT oil from coconuts, which helps your body absorb these fat-soluble vitamins and provides a clean energy boost. They’re remarkably small and easy to swallow — even for those who struggle with larger pills. Each bottle gives you a 90-day supply, making it a convenient addition to your daily routine.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Here’s how D3 and K2 team up in your body. Vitamin D3 boosts the production of calcium-binding proteins in your gut, ramping up calcium absorption. Vitamin K2 then steps in to activate osteocalcin (which binds calcium to your bones) and matrix GLA protein (which helps keep calcium out of your arteries). This two-step process is key for maintaining strong bones and a flexible cardiovascular system.* NatureWise uses highly bioavailable, plant-based sources for both vitamins — lichen for D3 and fermented chickpeas for K2.
Key Health Benefits of This Dual Formula
This supplement delivers 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 200 mcg of vitamin K2 per serve. Here’s what that can do for you:
-
Bone Support: D3 helps your body absorb calcium, while K2 activates osteocalcin to lock it into bone. This helps maintain bone density as you age.*
-
Heart Health: K2 supports matrix GLA protein to stop calcium building up in artery walls. Supports arterial flexibility and heart function.*
-
Immune Support: Vitamin D3 supports normal immune function. Adequate levels are linked to a healthy immune response.*
-
Dental Health: Proper calcium utilisation also benefits teeth — K2 directs calcium to tooth enamel.*
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
When shopping for a D3+K2 supplement, keep these points in mind:
-
Form of D3: D3 (cholecalciferol) is more bioavailable than D2. Vegan D3 from lichen is a top plant-based choice.
-
Form of K2: MK-7 has a longer half-life than MK-4, so once-daily dosing works well. Look for natural, bioavailable sources.
-
Dosage Ratio: Common doses range from 1000–5000 IU D3 with 45–100 mcg K2, but higher options like 10,000 IU and 200 mcg are available for those with greater needs. Chat with your healthcare professional.
-
Quality: Choose supplements that are non-GM, allergen-free, and third-party tested. NatureWise is made in a cGMP-certified facility in the USA and undergoes third-party quality audits.
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and K2 are a dynamic duo for calcium balance. D3 helps your body hoover up calcium from food, while K2 directs that calcium to your bones and teeth, preventing it from building up in soft tissues. Without enough K2, calcium can end up in the wrong places. Taking them together ensures calcium is used effectively.*
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to take 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily? For many adults, 10,000 IU is a high but safe dose, especially if you have low sun exposure or a known deficiency. However, it’s best to check your vitamin D levels with a blood test and consult your health care provider before starting high-dose supplementation.
Can I take this supplement with other medications? Vitamin K2 can interact with blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin). If you take anticoagulants, consult your doctor before using this product. Vitamin D3 may affect calcium metabolism in certain conditions.
When is the best time to take this supplement? Because it contains fat-soluble vitamins in MCT oil, take it with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption. Many people take it with breakfast or lunch.
Are the soft-gels easy to swallow? Yes — the soft-gels are small and oval-shaped, making them easy to swallow even for those who dislike large pills.
