Key Health Benefits
Support your bone density, heart health, and immune function with the synergistic combination of vitamin D3 and K2. This potent formula helps your body absorb calcium from food and direct it to your bones and teeth, while promoting arterial flexibility to support cardiovascular health.
Bone Health: By enhancing calcium absorption and guiding it into the bone matrix, this duo helps maintain strong, healthy bones and teeth.* Heart Health: Vitamin K2 activates matrix GLA protein, which may help prevent calcium from accumulating in blood vessel walls, supporting arterial flexibility and heart health.* Immune Function: Vitamin D3 is essential for a healthy immune response, helping you stay resilient all year round. The organic extra virgin coconut oil in each softgel improves the absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins, making the formula more effective. Many users notice a difference in their overall wellbeing, especially during months with limited sun exposure.
What to Look For in a D3 + K2 Supplement
When selecting a D3 and K2 supplement, consider dosage, form, and purity. A potent dose like 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 200 mcg of vitamin K2 (as MK-7) is ideal for those needing extra support. Opt for MK-7 over MK-4 for better bioavailability, as it has a longer half-life and provides more sustained benefits. Ensure the product is third-party tested, non-GMO, and free from common allergens. NatureWise D3 + K2 Soft gels meet these standards: they are made in a cGMP-certified facility, contain halal gelatine (bovine), and are free from wheat, gluten, eggs, soy, milk, peanuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame. The organic cold-pressed coconut oil not only aids absorption but also contributes to a clean ingredient profile.
Understanding the Synergy: How D3 and K2 Work Together
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) helps increase the production of calcium-binding proteins in the gut, which improves calcium uptake from your diet.* Once calcium is absorbed, vitamin K2 activates two key proteins: osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix for strength, and matrix GLA protein (MGP), which helps keep calcium away from blood vessel walls.* This coordinated action supports both bone density and cardiovascular health. The form of vitamin K2 matters: MK-7 (menaquinone-7) from natto fermentation has a longer half-life than MK-4, providing more sustained support. Our formula uses high-quality, plant-based MK-7 that is highly bio-available.
Why Take Vitamin D3 and K2 Together?
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work as a team to optimize your body's calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption from your diet, while vitamin K2 directs that calcium to your bones and teeth—where it is most needed—and supports arterial flexibility for heart health.* This synergy ensures calcium is used effectively, promoting strong bones and a healthy cardiovascular system. Many people combine these two nutrients to maximize their benefits, especially those with limited sun exposure or dietary intake of vitamin K.

As a dietary supplement, take one (1) softgel daily with a meal containing fat to maximize absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take this with other supplements? Yes, many users take it alongside magnesium for added bone support. When is the best time to take it? Take one softgel daily with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption. Are there any side effects? This supplement is generally well-tolerated. If you are taking blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, consult your healthcare practitioner before use due to the vitamin K content. Is it suitable for vegans?
