Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 1,000 IU and Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7, natto-derived) 120 mcg per softgel, in organic non-GMO coconut oil. Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. Helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. Helps to maintain immune function.

Why D3 + K2 Together?

Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the intestine. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 activates two key proteins that direct that calcium where it belongs: osteocalcin, which binds calcium into bone matrix, and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposition in arterial walls and soft tissue. MK-7 has an approximately 3 day half life, giving it sustained activity in peripheral tissues including bone and blood vessel walls between daily doses.

Why Coconut Oil?

D3 and K2 are fat-soluble vitamins that require fat for absorption. Organic non-GMO coconut oil provides the fat needed for absorption of both vitamins in each softgel no separate fat containing meal required.

Clinical Research

Vitamin D and intestinal calcium absorption: mechanisms and clinical implications

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2011

This mechanistic review examined the role of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and its active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol) in intestinal calcium absorption. Vitamin D3 is converted in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and then in the kidney to calcitriol, which binds to the Vitamin D receptor (VDR) in intestinal enterocytes and upregulates expression of calcium transport proteins particularly TRPV6 (epithelial calcium channel) and calbindin-D9k (intracellular calcium binding protein) increasing transcellular calcium transport across the intestinal epithelium. The review documented that adequate Vitamin D status is essential for efficient calcium absorption, with deficiency associated with significantly reduced calcium uptake from the diet and compensatory secondary hyperparathyroidism

Three year low dose menaquinone 7 supplementation helps decrease bone loss in healthy postmenopausal women

Osteoporosis International, 2013

This randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial examined the effects of 180mcg MK-7 daily supplementation on bone mineral density and bone strength indices in 244 healthy postmenopausal women over 3 years. MK-7 supplementation significantly improved vitamin K status (measured by carboxylated osteocalcin levels) and was associated with significantly less age-related bone mineral density loss at the lumbar spine and femoral neck compared to placebo. Bone strength indices also showed significant improvement in the MK-7 group. The authors concluded that MK-7 supplementation improved bone health in healthy postmenopausal women, with the effects attributed to MK-7's role in activating osteocalcin the vitamin K-depend

Combined supplementation of vitamin D3 and K2 and arterial stiffness: a systematic review

Nutrients, 2020

This systematic review examined clinical evidence for the combined effects of Vitamin D3 and K2 supplementation on arterial stiffness across randomized controlled trials. The proposed mechanism centers on Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), a vitamin K-dependent protein that is the most potent known inhibitor of vascular calcification. MGP requires vitamin K2 carboxylation to be active; uncarboxylated MGP is unable to inhibit calcium deposition in arterial walls. Several included trials demonstrated that combined D3 + K2 supplementation was associated with reductions in arterial stiffness markers compared to D3 alone or placebo, with the magnitude of effect correlating with improvements in MGP carboxylation status. The review highlighted that K2 as MK-7 due to its longer half-life compared to MK-4 was the most consistently effective K2 form for MGP activation in peripheral vascular tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Vitamin D3 and K2 combined in this formula?

Vitamin D3 and K2 work through complementary mechanisms that make them more effective together than separately. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) increases calcium absorption from the intestine a well established and Health Canada licensed mechanism. However, increased calcium absorption without proper routing can result in calcium circulating in the bloodstream without being directed to its intended destination. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 (menaquinone-7) activates two key vitamin K-dependent proteins: osteocalcin, which binds calcium into bone matrix (supporting bone density and strength), and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposition in arterial walls and soft tissue (supporting vascular health). In other words, D3 increases calcium availability, and K2 directs where that calcium goes into bones and teeth rather than soft tissue. MK-7 has an approximately 3 day half life, giving it sustained activity in peripheral tissues including bone and blood vessel walls between daily doses.

Why is organic coconut oil used as the carrier?

Vitamin D3 and K2 are fat soluble vitamins. Coconut oil provides an oil based carrier that helps deliver these nutrients in a convenient softgel format.

Why combine Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2?

Vitamin D3 helps increase calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 supports the normal utilization of calcium in the body. Together, they provide complementary support for bone and mineral health.
