Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and K2 are fat-soluble nutrients that work as a team to support your body's calcium balance. Vitamin D3 helps absorb calcium from your diet, while vitamin K2 directs that calcium to your bones and teeth, keeping it away from soft tissues like arteries. This partnership is essential for maintaining strong bones and a healthy heart.* Many people take vitamin D3 alone, but without enough K2, calcium may not be used properly. NatureWise combines both in one softgel, making it simple to get the synergistic benefits you need for optimal calcium management.*
How D3 and K2 Work Synergistically
To understand why this combination is so effective, let’s look at the mechanism. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is converted into its active form, which stimulates the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut. This boosts calcium absorption from food. However, absorbing calcium is only half the job—without proper direction, calcium can deposit in blood vessels and soft tissues, potentially leading to stiffness over time. That’s where vitamin K2 comes in.
Vitamin K2, specifically as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), activates two key proteins: osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP). Osteocalcin binds calcium to the bone matrix, promoting bone mineralisation and strength. MGP helps inhibit calcium deposition in the vascular walls, maintaining arterial flexibility. By activating these proteins, K2 ensures calcium is used appropriately throughout the body.
Our NatureWise formula uses VitaMK7, a natural, clinically studied source of K2 MK-7. Unlike MK-4, which has a short half-life, MK-7 stays active for up to 24 hours, allowing once-daily dosing. The inclusion of organic cold-pressed olive oil further enhances absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins.*
Choosing a Quality Supplement
When selecting a D3 and K2 supplement, quality matters. Here’s what to look for and how NatureWise measures up:
-
Source of D3: Many D3 supplements come from lanolin. NatureWise uses VegaDelight, a vegan D3 from sustainably sourced lichen (a type of algae), providing a bioavailable form suitable for plant-based diets.
-
Form of K2: The most effective form is MK-7, which stays in the bloodstream longer. NatureWise uses VitaMK7, a natural, non-synthetic MK-7 backed by clinical research for bone and cardiovascular health.
-
Absorption: Fat-soluble vitamins need dietary fat for uptake. This softgel is formulated with organic cold-pressed olive oil, which aids absorption without heat or hexane solvents.
-
Purity and Testing: NatureWise is third-party tested for potency and purity, and manufactured in a cGMP-certified facility. The product is also vegan, Non-GM, gluten free, and free from major allergens.
-
Certifications: Vegan, Non-GM, gluten free, and manufactured in Australia to high standards.
These features ensure you’re getting a high-quality supplement that aligns with your health and ethical values.*
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take this supplement if I’m on blood thinners?
If you’re taking anticoagulant medications like warfarin, consult your healthcare provider before using any vitamin K supplement, as vitamin K may affect blood clotting.*
What’s the best time to take it?
Take one softgel daily with a meal containing fat to maximise absorption. The organic olive oil in the softgel also helps, but food still makes a difference.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. Both vitamin D3 (from lichen) and vitamin K2 (from natto extract) are plant-based, making this supplement fully vegan.
How many softgels are in a bottle?
Sizes vary; check the product listing for specific counts. Typically, one softgel per day provides a 30- or 90-day supply.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Generally yes. But if you’re taking high doses of other fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, K), consult a health professional to avoid excessive intake.
Dosage and Use
For adults, take one softgel daily with food. Each softgel contains 5000 IU (125 mcg) of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (as MK-7). This dosage is suitable for most healthy individuals aiming to maintain optimal levels. Individual needs may vary, so we recommend speaking with your healthcare professional to find the right dose for you, especially if you have underlying conditions or are pregnant or nursing.
