If you're looking to support your bones, immune system and heart health, the dynamic duo of vitamin D3 and K2 is hard to beat. Our liquid drops combine 5,000 IU of D3 with 100 mcg of K2 in a convenient, great-tasting formula that you can take daily. Made with organic coconut MCT oil and a hint of peppermint, it's a simple addition to your daily routine.
How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 and K2 are like a perfect team when it comes to calcium management. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) helps your body absorb calcium from your diet, while K2 (specifically MK-7) directs that calcium to your bones and teeth, and away from soft tissues like arteries. This partnership is why many people turn to a combined supplement. Our liquid drops deliver a potent dose of 5,000 IU of D3 and 100 mcg of organic K2 per half dropper, making it effortless to get these nutrients in one serve.
The relationship goes deeper. Vitamin D3 boosts the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, enhancing absorption. Once calcium is in the bloodstream, vitamin K2 activates two key proteins: osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps maintain arterial flexibility by preventing calcium deposition in vessel walls. Without enough K2, the calcium absorbed via D3 may not be properly utilised, potentially leading to soft-tissue calcification. By taking both together, you support a balanced calcium metabolism. Our formula uses the MK-7 form of vitamin K2, derived from nattō, which has a longer half-life than MK-4 and provides sustained support throughout the day.
Health Benefits at a Glance
Adding a quality vitamin D3 and K2 supplement to your daily regimen can offer multiple benefits for overall wellbeing:
-
Strong Bones and Teeth: D3 supports calcium absorption, and K2 helps direct calcium into the bone matrix, contributing to bone mineral density. This combination may help maintain healthy bones as you age.*
-
Immune Support: Vitamin D3 helps support normal immune function by modulating the activity of immune cells. Adequate vitamin D levels are associated with a healthy immune response.*
-
Heart Health: By activating MGP, vitamin K2 helps maintain arterial flexibility and promotes healthy calcium balance, which supports cardiovascular function.*
-
Energy and Metabolism: The addition of coconut-derived MCT oil in our formula supports energy production and cognitive function, while also enhancing absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins D and K.
-
Dental Wellbeing: Proper calcium utilisation contributes to strong teeth and may help support oral health.*
Choosing the Right D3 + K2 Supplement
When choosing a vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, consider the following factors:
-
Form of Vitamin K2: Opt for MK-7 (menaquinone-7) rather than MK-4. MK-7 has a longer half-life, meaning it stays active in the body longer and requires fewer daily doses. Our K2 is derived from nattō, a traditional fermented soybean food, and is tested for purity.
-
Dosage Ratio: A common effective ratio is 5,000 IU of D3 to 100 mcg of K2. This aligns with our formulation, providing a therapeutic dose without excess.
-
Absorption Enhancers: Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble, so taking them with a fat source improves absorption. Our liquid drops are suspended in organic coconut MCT oil, which not only aids absorption but also provides energy-supporting medium-chain triglycerides.
-
Purity and Third-Party Testing: Our formula is Non-GM, gluten free, and third-party tested to ensure potency and safety. We use simple ingredients with no artificial additives.
-
Taste: Organic peppermint oil gives the drops a refreshing, breath-freshening taste, making them pleasant to take sublingually.
Your Questions Answered
How should I take this supplement?
Shake the bottle well before each use. Fill the dropper to the 0.5 mL mark (half dropper) and place under your tongue for 30 seconds, then swallow. The MCT oil helps absorption even without food, but you can also take it with a meal.
Can I take vitamin D3 and K2 separately?
Yes, but taking them together in a balanced formula ensures optimal synergy and eliminates the need for multiple supplements. This liquid drop combines both in one serving.
Are there any side effects?
Vitamin D3 and K2 are generally well tolerated. However, if you are taking blood-thinning medications like warfarin (Coumadin), consult your healthcare provider before use, as vitamin K2 may interact with these drugs. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a professional.
Is this product suitable for vegetarians?
The vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin (a byproduct of wool production), so it is suitable for vegetarians but not for strict vegans. The K2 is from nattō, which is plant-based.
How to Take Our D3 + K2 Drops
We recommend taking 0.5 mL (half dropper) per day, providing 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (MK-7). Some individuals may benefit from higher doses under professional supervision.
