Why Choose This Vegan D3+K2
This formula is designed for optimal plant-based nutrition:
True Vegan D3: Uses vitamin D3 from lichens, not the less effective D2. Most vegan D supplements use D2, but this provides superior D3 in a 100% plant-based form.
Superior K2 Form: Contains MK-7, the most bioavailable form of vitamin K2 with a 72-hour half-life, providing sustained activity throughout the day.
Synergistic Formula: D3 and K2 work together - D3 increases calcium absorption while K2 directs it to bones and teeth, not arteries.
Clean Plant Sources: No animal-derived ingredients. D3 from lichens (not sheep's wool) and K2 from natto (not animal sources).
Made in Canada: Manufactured in Canada with quality control standards.
What Are Vitamins D3 and K2?
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the active form of vitamin D that the body produces when skin is exposed to sunlight. It plays a critical role in calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is a fat-soluble vitamin that activates proteins responsible for directing calcium to bones and teeth while preventing calcium deposits in soft tissues like arteries. Together, these vitamins work synergistically for optimal bone and cardiovascular health.
Understanding the Dosage
Each capsule provides optimal amounts:
Vitamin D3: 25mcg (1000 IU)
Vitamin K2 (MK-7): 120mcg
D3 Source: Lichens (plant-based)
K2 Source: Natto (fermented soybeans)
Suggested Use: 1 capsule daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner
Consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual needs.
Why Vegan D3 from Lichens?
Most vitamin D3 supplements are derived from lanolin (sheep's wool), making them unsuitable for vegans:
What Are Lichens: Lichens are composite organisms formed from algae and fungi living in symbiosis. Certain lichen species naturally produce vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), the same form produced in human skin from sunlight.
True Vitamin D3: Lichen-derived D3 is cholecalciferol, the active form of vitamin D, not the less effective D2 (ergocalciferol) found in some plant sources.
D3 vs. D2: Research shows that vitamin D3 is approximately 87% more potent than D2 at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D. D3 also has a longer half-life in the body.
Vegan-Friendly: Lichen D3 provides the benefits of vitamin D3 without animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Clean Source: Lichens are sustainably harvested and provide a pure, clean source of vitamin D3.
Why K2 MK-7 from Natto?
Vitamin K2 exists in several forms, with MK-7 being the most bioavailable:
What Is Natto: Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. The fermentation process produces menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the most bioavailable form of vitamin K2.
MK-7 vs. MK-4: MK-7 has a longer half-life in the body (72 hours) compared to MK-4 (1 hour), providing more sustained vitamin K2 activity throughout the day.
Superior Bioavailability: MK-7 is better absorbed and remains active in the body longer than other forms of vitamin K2.
Plant-Based: Natto-derived K2 MK-7 is 100% plant-based, suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamins D3 and K2 have a synergistic relationship:
D3 Increases Calcium Absorption: Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption in the intestines by promoting the production of calcium-binding proteins.
K2 Activates Calcium-Regulating Proteins: Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin (which binds calcium to bones) and matrix Gla-protein (which prevents calcium from depositing in soft tissues like arteries).
Calcium Goes to the Right Places: With both vitamins working together, calcium is efficiently absorbed (thanks to D3) and properly directed to bones and teeth (thanks to K2) while being kept out of arteries and soft tissues.
Better Together: The combination ensures optimal calcium metabolism - adequate absorption AND proper distribution. This supports both bone health and cardiovascular health.
Bone Health Support
This formula supports bone health through multiple mechanisms:
Calcium Absorption: Vitamin D3 is essential for calcium absorption in the intestines. Without adequate D3, the body cannot absorb calcium efficiently.
Bone Mineralization: Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, supporting bone strength and density.
Teeth Health: Both vitamins support dental health by ensuring proper calcium utilization in teeth.
Bone Density: Together, D3 and K2 support healthy bone density, which is particularly important as we age.
Immune System Support
Vitamin D3 plays a critical role in immune function:
Immune Cell Function: Vitamin D3 supports the function of immune cells including T cells and macrophages, which are essential for immune defense.
Winter Support: During fall and winter months when sunlight exposure is limited, vitamin D levels often decrease. Supplementation helps maintain adequate levels year-round.
Northern Climates: People living in northern latitudes have limited UVB exposure during winter months, making supplementation particularly important.

About Vegan D3+K2: Plant-Based Bone and Immune Support
Traditionally, vegans had to settle for vitamin D2 because D3 was only available from animal sources like lanolin from sheep's wool. Lichen-derived D3 changed this, providing vegans with the superior D3 form without animal ingredients. Combined with K2 MK-7 from natto, this formula delivers the synergistic benefits of both vitamins in a 100% plant-based form. The combination supports optimal calcium metabolism - D3 ensures calcium is absorbed, while K2 ensures it goes to bones and teeth rather than soft tissues. This makes it ideal for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone seeking clean, sustainable sources of these essential vitamins for bone health, immune function, and overall wellness.
