Vitamin D3 5000 IU and K2 in a tablet
You often find vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 separately on the shelves, but Vit4ever combines them in a tablet. Vitamin D3 and K2 are both fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus; vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. This tablet provides 5000 IU of D3 and 100 mcg of K2VITAL MK-7 at once, available in bottles of 100, 180, 240, and 365 tablets. With the largest bottle, you have a supply for more than four years, because the recommended intake is one tablet every five days, not daily.
What D3 and K2 contribute to
Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus and to normal calcium levels in the blood. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal blood clotting. Vitamin D also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal muscle function.
K2VITAL MK-7, what makes this form different
Not all K2 is the same. There are different forms of menaquinone, with MK-4 and MK-7 being the best known. MK-7 stays in the blood longer than MK-4. Within MK-7, there is also a difference: the substance occurs in a cis and an all-trans form. K2VITAL is a branded raw material from the Norwegian Kappa Bioscience with a guaranteed all-trans content of more than 99 percent. Every batch is analyzed separately via HPLC before it leaves the factory, and the corresponding certificate of analysis is publicly available for anyone who wants to check it. That distinguishes K2VITAL from many generic K2 raw materials on the market.
One tablet every five days, not a daily ritual
Vitamin D3 and K2 are both fat-soluble. This means that your body can store them, unlike water-soluble vitamins that your body largely excretes through urine. Vit4ever takes advantage of this by setting a high dosage and extending the interval: one tablet every five days provides an average daily dose of 1000 IU of D3 and 20 mcg of K2. That is a common amount for most healthy adults, well below the safe upper limit of 4000 IU per day for long-term use. In practice, this means a bottle that you hardly need to refill: 365 tablets last for 1825 days, or over four years. Take the tablet during a meal with some fat, olive oil, or nuts, for example, as the recommended use indicates.
Who is this combination interesting for
This combination tablet is primarily intended for those who consciously want to choose both without having to manage two bottles and remember two intake routines. The tablets are small, the D3 is of plant origin, extracted from lichen instead of the common lanolin from sheep's wool, and there is no magnesium stearate in it. This also makes this product suitable for those who prefer vegan supplements and pay attention to the list of excipients on the label.
In short: anyone specifically looking for vitamin D3 and K2 in a single tablet will find that this is no ordinary D3 tablet. The combination with certified K2VITAL MK-7 and the low intake frequency make the difference compared to a separate D3 product, without having to think about two different supplements.
