Mega D-3 & MK-7 | 5000 IU D3 + 180µg K2 | 60 Vcaps | NOW Foods

Mega D-3 & MK-7 by NOW Foods

Want vitamin D3 and K2 in one capsule? Mega D-3 & MK-7 by NOW Foods combines 125 µg vitamin D3 (5000 IU) with 180 µg vitamin K2 as MK-7. The K2 comes from MenaQ7®, a well-known branded raw material. One bottle contains 60 plant-based capsules.

Why D3 and K2 are often combined

Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 are both fat-soluble and are therefore often offered in one product. Vitamin D3 is cholecalciferol, the form that your skin produces itself under the influence of sunlight and which is harder to keep at optimal levels in winter. Vitamin K2 is a lesser-known vitamin that is found in food. This formula provides vitamin D3 and K2 in a fixed ratio, so you do not need to combine two separate products. Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because your skin produces it itself under the influence of sunlight; this is precisely what is harder to do during the darker months. This explains why many people supplement vitamin D year-round and why a combined D3-K2 formula is popular.

What D3 and K2 contribute to

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, the normal function of the immune system, and the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. Both vitamins are therefore involved, among other things, in the maintenance of normal bones. This is how the two vitamins complement each other in this product. You can find the full list of permitted health claims for both vitamins further down on this page, along with the safety information.

Vitamin K2 as MK-7 from MenaQ7®

The vitamin K2 in this product is menaquinone-7, or MK-7 for short, derived from the branded raw material MenaQ7®. MK-7 is one of the forms of vitamin K2 that is widely used in supplements. MenaQ7® is one of the best-known branded raw materials for this form of K2. Each capsule contains 180 µg of K2, in addition to 125 µg of vitamin D3. This makes it a combination of vitamin D3 and K2 in a single plant-based hypromellose capsule. The ratio of a high dose of D3 to a generous amount of K2 has been deliberately chosen so that the two fat-soluble vitamins are taken together in a single dose.

60 plant-based capsules

One bottle contains 60 Vcaps. At the recommended intake of 1 capsule every 5 days, it will last you well over ten months. The ingredients list is straightforward: the two vitamins, a plant-based hypromellose capsule shell, and a few functional excipients such as rice flour and silicon dioxide, with no unnecessary fillers. Due to the high dosage per capsule (1 capsule every 5 days) and the presence of vitamin K, the safety information on this page is important; please read it carefully, especially if you use anticoagulant medication. Because both vitamins are included in a fixed amount in one capsule, you do not need to purchase or combine them separately. This makes it a straightforward choice for anyone consciously choosing to combine these two fat-soluble vitamins. In short: a D3-K2 combination from a brand known for clear labels and controlled production.
