Key Health Benefits of D3 and K2
-
Bone Health: Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, while K2 helps direct calcium to the bone matrix, contributing to strong, dense bones.* Together, they help maintain normal bone mineral density as you age.*
-
Teeth Health: By promoting calcium utilisation, this combination also supports healthy tooth enamel and overall dental structure.*
-
Immune Support: Vitamin D3 is well-known for its role in modulating the immune system. Adequate levels help support a healthy immune response throughout the year.*
-
Heart Health: Vitamin K2 helps maintain arterial flexibility by supporting the normal function of matrix GLA protein, which may help prevent calcium build-up in blood vessels.*
-
Enhanced Absorption: Vitalitown infuses cold-pressed sunflower oil into each softgel to optimize the absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins, ensuring you get the most from every serving.*
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 plays a key role in calcium metabolism by supporting the production of calcium-binding proteins in the intestines. This helps insure that calcium from food is effectively absorbed. However, without adequate vitamin K2, that calcium may not reach its intended destinations.
Vitamin K2 activates two critical proteins: osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps keep calcium out of arterial walls. Together, D3 and K2 support a healthy calcium trafficking system that benefits both skeletal and cardiovascular health.*
The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 is particularly effective because it remains active in the body longer than MK-4, allowing for once-daily dosing. Vitalitown uses this superior form to maximise retention and bioavailability.*
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
For many Australians who don't get enough sun exposure, supplementing with vitamin D3 is essential. But pairing it with K2 makes a world of difference. Vitamin D3 boosts calcium absorption from your diet, while K2 ensures that calcium ends up in your bones and teeth rather than soft tissues like arteries.* This synergy is why health-conscious Aussies choose a combined D3 + K2 supplement over vitamin D alone.
Vitalitown’s extra-strength formula delivers 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) and 200 mcg of vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7, MK-7) in each tiny, easy to swallow softgel. Designed for those with limited sun exposure or higher vitamin D needs, this supplement provides a convenient way to maintain healthy levels year-round.*
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
-
Form of Vitamin K2: Look for MK-7 (menaquinone-7) for sustained activity. Avoid MK-4 if you want once-daily dosing, as it has a shorter half-life.
-
Dosage Ratio: A common effective ratio is 1000-5000 IU D3 to 45-100 mcg K2. Vitalitown’s 10,000 IU D3 with 200 mcg K2 provides a potent combination for those with higher requirements.
-
Purity: Choose a product that is non-GM, Gluten Free, and free from common allergens. Vitalitown’s formula contains no artificial fillers, flavours, preservatives, or additives, and is tested by third-party labs for purity and potency.
-
Delivery Format: Soft-gels with a carrier oil (like sunflower oil) enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Avoid dry tablets that may not absorb as efficiently.
Recommended Dosage and Usage
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) softgel daily with a meal. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
Men and women's with limited sun exposure, older adults, or those with darker skin may benefit from higher vitamin D intake. However, it is always wise to consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medications. Always read the labelled and follow directions for use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take vitamin D3 and K2 separately? Yes, but taking them together ensures the proper timing and synergy for calcium metabolism. With a combined supplement, you don’t have to worry about remembering two different pills.
What is the best time to take D3 and K2? Since both are fat-soluble, take them with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption. Many people take them with breakfast or lunch.
Are there any side effects? Vitamin D3 and K2 are generally well-tolerated when taken as directed. However, if you are on blood thinners like warfarin, consult your health care provider before taking vitamin K2, as it may interfere with medication.
How long does one bottle last? Each bottle contains 90 soft-gels. With one softgel per day, a bottle lasts 3 months. This pack of 2 provides a 6-month supply.
