Vitamin D3 combined with Vitamin K2 (MK-7) is a format for those looking for simultaneous support of two nutrients in one capsule. Natural Factors has combined bioactive forms of both vitamins in softgel capsules with MCT coconut oil for better absorption.
Composition and form: what is contained in one capsule
One softgel contains 25 mcg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3 in the form of cholecalciferol and 120 mcg of vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7). MK-7 is considered the most bioavailable form of K2 with a longer residence time in the body compared to MK-4.
The capsule is based on medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) from coconut and yellow beeswax. D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin, so the combination with MCT oil in the capsule itself supports its absorption without the need to take a separate fatty meal.
Why combine D3 and K2?
Vitamin D3 and K2 are often seen as a synergistic pair. D3 supports calcium levels in the body, while K2 in the form of MK-7 is positioned as a cofactor that contributes to the proper distribution of calcium - in particular, it may be relevant for maintaining bone health and the condition of blood vessels.
Natural Factors explicitly states that the combination of D3 and K2 may support bone and vascular health more effectively than either nutrient alone, reflecting a modern approach to formulating supplements for the daily diet.
Who is the 1000 IU format suitable for?
The 1000 IU (25 mcg) D3 dosage is one of the most common in preventive supplements. This level is often chosen as a baseline support during the fall and winter months, when natural vitamin D production from sunlight is minimal, or for daily intake throughout the year.
The softgel format is convenient for those who do not want to swallow hard tablets or use liquids. One capsule per day is the standard recommended use according to the manufacturer's instructions, or as prescribed by a doctor.
How much D3 and K2 should I take per day?
Natural Factors recommends one softgel per day. This provides 1000 IU of vitamin D3 and 120 mcg of MK-7 per serving. If your doctor or nutritionist recommends a higher dosage of D3 (2000, 4000, or 5000 IU), consider this product as a baseline or consult a specialist for dosage guidance.
Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet and are not medicines. Before starting to take them, it is worth consulting a doctor, especially if you are already taking anticoagulants - vitamin K2 may affect their effect.
