What Makes This Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplement Special?
Peak Performance's formula stands out from the crowd because it delivers all three forms of vitamin K – K1, MK-4, and MK-7 – alongside a potent 5000 IU of vitamin D3. That's something you won't find in your average supplement. Each capsule is small, easy to swallow, and made from vegetable cellulose, making it suitable for vegetarians. This formula is free from gluten, GMOs, preservatives, artificial colors, soy, and dairy. It's manufactured in the USA under strict GMP regulations to ensure quality and purity. Plus, every purchase supports a 1-for-1 donation programme with Vitamin Angels, providing life-saving vitamins to children in need.
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Taking vitamin D3 alone is great for calcium absorption, but it's only half the story. Without enough vitamin K, that absorbed calcium might end up in the wrong places. Vitamin K directs calcium where it's needed – your bones and teeth – and helps keep it away from soft tissues like your arteries.* This is why many health-savvy Aussies choose a D3 and K2 combo. Peak Performance Advanced Vitamin D 5000 IU includes all three types of vitamin K—K1, MK-4, and MK-7—to provide comprehensive support for your skeletal and cardiovascular systems.*

Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K Work Together
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) encourages the production of calcium-binding proteins in your gut, which helps your body absorb dietary calcium more efficiently.* Vitamin K2, especially MK-7, activates osteocalcin to bind calcium to bone, and matrix GLA protein to keep arteries flexible.* K1 supports normal blood clotting and bone metabolism.* This triple-action approach optimises calcium use throughout your body.*
Frequently Asked Questions
Which form of K2 is best?
MK-7 is often preferred due to its longer half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing. MK-4 has a shorter duration but is also included for its unique benefits. Both forms are present in this formula, along with vitamin K1.
What's the best time to take it?
Take one capsule daily with a meal that contains fat, as vitamins D and K are fat-soluble. This enhances absorption. Consistent daily use is recommended for best results.
Can I combine it with other supplements?
Yes, this supplement pairs well with calcium, magnesium, and omega-3s. If you are on blood thinners like warfarin, consult your healthcare provider before taking vitamin K supplements, as vitamin K can interfere with medication.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin (sheep's wool), so it is not vegan. However, the capsules are vegetable-based and the product is free of animal-derived ingredients beyond the D3.
