Member's Mark Vitamin K2 180 mcg + D3 125 mcg, 150 Soft gels

Your body's calcium management relies on a team of nutrients working in harmony. Vitamin D3 helps pull calcium from your diet, and vitamin K2 ensures it goes where it's needed most — your bones and teeth — instead of accumulating in soft tissues. Member's Mark offers a convenient softgel combining 180 mcg of vitamin K2 (as MK-7) with 125 mcg (5000 IU) of vitamin D3, designed to support your daily routine.

Key Health Benefits

• Bone Health: Vitamin D3 helps in the absorption and use of calcium, while vitamin K2 contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones.*
• Immune support: Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system.*
• Dental Health: Both vitamins play a role in the development and maintenance of teeth.*
• Heart Health: Vitamin K2 supports proper calcium distribution, helping maintain arterial flexibility as part of a healthy cardiovascular system.*

Understanding How Vitamin D3 and K2 Work Together

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is best known for enhancing calcium absorption in the gut. However, without sufficient vitamin K2, that calcium may be misdirected. Vitamin K2 activates two key proteins: osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps prevent calcium from depositing in blood vessel walls. This synergy helps maintain normal calcium balance and supports both bone density and arterial flexibility. The MK-7 form of K2 used here has a longer half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing.

What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement

Not all supplements are the same. Consider these features:
Dosage Ratio: A common effective ratio is 5000 IU D3 (125 mcg) with 180-200 mcg K2 (MK-7). This product matches that perfectly.
Form of K2: MK-7 is preferred over MK-4 because it stays active in the body longer, enabling once-daily dosing.
Purity: Gluten-free, sugar-free, lactose-free, and made in the USA with no artificial colours or preservatives.
Quality Testing: Manufactured in cGMP facilities undergoing third party testing.

Why Take Them Together?

Taking D3 and K2 together ensures optimal calcium routing. While D3 boosts absorption, K2 directs calcium to bones and teeth, away from soft tissues like arteries. This one-two punch is why many healthcare practitioners recommend the combination.

Recommended Dosage

The suggested serving is one softgel daily with a meal containing healthy fats, as D3 is fat-soluble. Each softgel provides 180 mcg of vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7) and 125 mcg (5000 IU) of vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol). This dosage is suitable for most adults. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are taking blood thinners (vitamin K can interact with warfarin) or if you have a medical condition.
