Vitamin D3 and K2: what the combination offers
D3 and K2 both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. BMPHARMA combines vitamin D3 and K2 MK-7 in an oil-based softgel. Each capsule contains 5000 IU of vitamin D3 and is taken once every five days with water. Compare the vitamin forms, capsule amounts and serving interval when choosing your formula.
What do vitamin D and vitamin K do?
- Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
- Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
Combining D3 and K2 is a convenient way to include both vitamins in your supplementation routine. Choose a formula that fits your diet, existing supplements, medicines and individual advice.
K2 MK-7: what the name tells you
Vitamin K includes K1 and a family of K2 forms called menaquinones. MK-4 and MK-7 are different members of that family, with numbers that identify their side-chain structure. BMPHARMA D3 + K2 contains menaquinone-7.
Research compares named vitamin K forms and their blood-concentration profiles, including half-life. Read each result with its comparator: studies of MK-7 and K1 answer questions about those forms, while MK-4 is a separate form. “All-trans” describes molecular configuration. Ingredient specifications provide information on source and purity.
Vitamin K research and everyday use
Researchers study vitamin-K-dependent proteins in relation to vascular calcification. For everyday nutrition, vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Follow the D3 + K2 serving instruction: excessive vitamin D intake can be harmful even when vitamin K is included.
Read the BMPHARMA label in three steps
| Label item | What it means |
|---|---|
| One softgel | 125 µg vitamin D3 (5000 IU) + 100 µg vitamin K2 MK-7 |
| Recommended use | One capsule every five days with water—not daily |
| Pack and formulation | 240 softgels; flaxseed oil; bovine-gelatine shell |
Dividing the capsule amounts by the labelled five-day interval gives an arithmetic daily average of 25 µg vitamin D3 (1000 IU) and 20 µg vitamin K2. The serving instruction remains one capsule every five days. Check the best-before date when planning use of the 240-capsule pack.
Frequently asked questions
Can I take the 5000 IU capsule every day?
No: that is not this product’s labelled use. Follow the five-day interval. A clinical treatment plan is a separate matter for your clinician, and someone seeking a daily routine should discuss an appropriately dosed product.
Must I take it with fat?
The softgel already contains flaxseed oil as its carrier. Take one capsule every five days with water, following the label.
Can I combine it with other vitamin D products?
Check the total from all products with a doctor or pharmacist first. The vitamin D in a multivitamin or another formula still counts.
What if I take an anticoagulant?
Ask your doctor or pharmacist before use. Vitamin K is especially relevant to vitamin-K-antagonist medicines such as warfarin; do not change your intake on your own.
