Those who want Vitamin D3 and K2 MK-7 together in one softgel with MCT oil as the carrier
Those who prefer a 120 softgel format for a 4 month supply
Those seeking a Health Canada licensed D3 and K2 formula with three approved uses
Those seeking a non-GMO, gluten free, soy free, dairy free formula
Source
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is derived from lanolin, the most established and widely used source for pharmaceutical grade Vitamin D3. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 (menaquinone-7) is derived from natto, a traditional Japanese fermented food made from soybeans and the richest known dietary source of MK-7. MCT oil is derived from non-GMO coconut oil. This product is formulated and manufactured entirely in Canada in a quality controlled facility subject to federal oversight. Health Canada NPN 80116252 confirms independent government review of safety, efficacy, and quality.
Why D3 and K2 Together
Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the intestine. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 activates two key Vitamin K-dependent proteins: osteocalcin, which binds calcium into bone matrix, and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposition in soft tissues including blood vessel walls. D3 increases calcium availability; K2 helps direct it to bone and away from soft tissues. MK-7 is the preferred K2 form for this purpose because its half-life of approximately 3 days allows it to remain active in peripheral tissues including bone and blood vessel walls, unlike MK-4 which has a half-life of hours.
Key Benefits
Bone and teeth development and maintenance Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption. K2 MK-7 activates osteocalcin to bind calcium into bone matrix. Health Canada licensed use under NPN 80116252.
Calcium absorption and use Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the intestine. K2 MK-7 directs absorbed calcium to bone via osteocalcin. Health Canada licensed use under NPN 80116252.
Factor in the maintenance of good health Health Canada licensed use under NPN 80116252.
MCT oil carrier Both D3 and K2 are fat-soluble and require fat for absorption. MCT oil (C8 and C10 fatty acids from non-GMO coconut oil) is absorbed directly into the portal vein without requiring bile emulsification, providing efficient absorption without a separate fat-containing meal.
K2 as MK-7 120mcg menaquinone-7 per softgel. Natto-derived. Approximately 3 day half-life, allowing activity in peripheral tissues beyond the liver.
