Many Australians are looking for ways to support their bone health, immune system, and energy levels—especially during the cooler months. Sandhu's Vitamin D3 K2 Magnesium 5000 IU with B6, Zinc & Quercetin offers a comprehensive blend of six key nutrients that work together to promote optimal calcium utilisation and overall vitality. This formula provides 5000 IU of vitamin D3 and 120 mcg of K2 as MK-7, plus magnesium, vitamin B6, zinc, and quercetin, all in one convenient daily capsule.
Key Health Benefits
-
Bone Support: Vitamin D3 helps maintain normal calcium levels, while K2 supports calcium incorporation into bone. Magnesium also contributes to normal bone structure.*
-
Immune Function: Both vitamin D3 and zinc are known to support normal immune system function. B6 plays a role in immune cell signalling.*
-
Energy Metabolism: Magnesium and B6 contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, helping you feel energised throughout the day.*
-
Muscle Function: Vitamin D3 and magnesium support normal muscle function, which aids in recovery and overall physical performance.*

How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is well-known for its role in calcium regulation. It stimulates the production of calcium-binding proteins in the intestinal lining, helping the body absorb dietary calcium. Without sufficient D3, calcium absorption can be limited, potentially leading to weakened bones.
Vitamin K2, specifically the MK-7 form (menaquinone-7), activates proteins that help bind calcium to the bone matrix. Two key proteins are osteocalcin, which helps incorporate calcium into bone tissue, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which may help prevent calcium deposition in blood vessel walls. By taking D3 and K2 together, you support the entire calcium pathway—absorption and proper utilisation.
Why This Combination Matters
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 form a powerful duo for optimal calcium utilisation. While vitamin D3 helps increase calcium absorption from the gut, vitamin K2 works to direct that calcium to the bones and teeth where it belongs—instead of allowing it to accumulate in soft tissues like arteries. This synergistic relationship makes a combined D3 + K2 supplement valuable for long-term bone and cardiovascular health.
Sandhu's formula goes a step further by including magnesium, vitamin B6, zinc, and quercetin—each selected to support the core D3 and K2 functions. Magnesium helps activate vitamin D3, B6 supports immune signalling, zinc contributes to normal immune function, and quercetin may enhance nutrient absorption. All six ingredients work together in one convenient capsule.
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
When choosing a D3 and K2 supplement, consider the following factors:
-
Dosage: This formula provides 5000 IU of vitamin D3 and 120 mcg of K2 (as MK-7). MK-7 is preferred for its longer half-life compared to MK-4, providing more consistent levels in the body.
-
Additional Nutrients: Magnesium, B6, zinc, and quercetin add value by supporting the primary ingredients and covering common nutrient gaps.
-
Purity and Testing: Sandhu's is made in an NSF-GMP-certified facility in California. Every batch undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency.
-
Form: Capsules are easy to swallow and free from unnecessary fillers. The 120-count bottle provides a 4-month supply (one capsule daily).
Recommended Dosage and Usage
Take one capsule daily with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Each bottle contains 120 capsules, providing a four-month supply. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your doctor. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners? Vitamin K2 can interfere with anticoagulant medications like warfarin. Consult your healthcare professional before use.
What is the best time to take it? Since D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, taking the capsule with a meal that contains fat may improve absorption. Many people take it with breakfast or lunch.
Can I take this with other supplements? Yes, but be mindful of your total vitamin D intake from other sources (including multivitamins). The 5000 IU dose is considered high; consult a professional if you have concerns about upper limits.
Is this product vegan? Vitamin D3 is typically derived from lanolin (sheep's wool), so it may not be suitable for strict vegans. K2 MK-7 is often from natto or synthetic sources—check the labelled for specifics.
