Pharmacist's Verdict
This is a well-formulated supplement for supporting bone and heart health, combining two essential vitamins in forms your body can easily use. However, the high dose of Vitamin D means it's best for those with a known deficiency or under a doctor's guidance.
Ingredient Analysis
Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin K2 (as Menaquinone-7, MK-7)
Coconut Oil
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Combines Vitamin D3 for calcium absorption with K2 to direct that calcium to your bones.
- Uses high-quality, bioavailable forms of both vitamins (Cholecalciferol D3 and MK-7 K2).
- Suspended in coconut oil, which helps the body absorb these fat-soluble vitamins.
- Third-party tested for quality and potency, which adds a layer of trust.
Cons
- Vitamin K can interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin (Coumadin).
- The 5000 IU dose of Vitamin D is high for long-term daily use without medical supervision and blood testing.
- More expensive than purchasing Vitamin D3 or K2 supplements separately.
