Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Supporting strong bones and a healthy heart starts with getting the right nutrients – and vitamin D3 and K2 are a dynamic duo. Vitamin D3 boosts calcium absorption from the gut, but without enough vitamin K2, that calcium might end up in soft tissues and arteries rather than in bones and teeth. Vitamin K2 activates proteins like osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MGP), guiding calcium to where it belongs. Taking them together ensures calcium is properly used for strong bones and a healthy cardiovascular system.
Our gummies deliver 5000 IU of plant-based vitamin D3 from lichen and 120 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7, the most bioavailable and long-lasting form. This combination is essential for anyone looking to optimize calcium metabolism.
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
When choosing a vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, quality matters. Our gummies feature:
-
Plant-Based D3: Sourced from lichen, not lanolin, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
-
MK-7 Form of K2: Derived from fermented chickpeas, this form has superior bioavailability and a longer half-life than synthetic MK-4.
-
Methylated B Vitamins: Methylcobalamin (B12), methylfolate (B9), and pyridoxal-5-phosphate (B6) are the active forms, requiring no conversion by the body for immediate use.
-
MCT Oil: Added to enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins D3 and K2.
-
Clean Formula: Sugar-free, gelatine-free, non-GM, Gluten Free, and free from common allergens. No artificial colors, flavours, or sweeteners.
With 5000 IU of D3 and 120 mcg of K2 (MK-7), this formula provides an effective daily dose for most adults.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 supports the production of calcium-binding proteins in the intestinal lining, which increases calcium absorption. Once calcium enters the bloodstream, vitamin K2 helps activate two key proteins: osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein, which helps prevent calcium from depositing in blood vessels.
The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 is particularly effective because it stays in the bloodstream longer than MK-4, providing sustained activation of these proteins throughout the day. This synergy supports bone mineralisation without contributing to arterial calcification. Additionally, our formula includes methylated B vitamins (B12 as methylcobalamin, B9 as methylfolate, and B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate) that support homocysteine metabolism, further benefitting cardiovascular health.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MK-7 and MK-4?
MK-7 is a naturally occurring form of vitamin K2 found in natto and fermented foods. It remains active in the body for up to 24 hours, supporting consistent calcium regulation. MK-4 is synthetic and requires multiple daily doses.
Can I take this supplement with other medications?
If you are taking blood thinners (e.g., warfarin), consult your health care provider before taking vitamin K2, as it may interfere with anticoagulation therapy. Always discuss supplements with your doctor.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
Yes. The D3 is from lichen, the K2 is from fermented chickpeas, and the gummies are made without gelatine or animal-derived ingredients.
When should I take these gummies?
Take one gummy daily with a meal that contains fat (such as lunch or dinner) to maximise absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Recommended Dosage
For adults, chew one gummy per day. Do not exceed the recommended serving. As individual needs vary, consult a healthcare professional to determine if this dosage is right for you, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Always read the labelled and follow directions for use.
