Taking a vitamin D supplement can be a good idea for many, especially during autumn and winter or for those who cannot spend time outdoors, have covered body or live in places where there is not much sunlight. Vitamin D comes in two forms; D2 and D3. Vitamin D3 is preferred because it is used more efficiently in the body and is the form that comes from the most natural source; the sun. Vitamin D3 is extracted either from sheep's wool or from a vegetable lichen. The latter suits everyone who wants a plant-based alternative. We offer D3 vitamin in the form of cholecalciferol with or without K2 vitamin. Should I take vitamin D with vitamin K2 or without? Vitamin K2 and D3 work well together for a stronger skeleton. An important role they have is to get calcium absorbed from the diet into the skeleton. Vitamin K2 is important for directing calcium to the skeleton, excess calcium is deposited as plaque buildup in the arteries. K2 balances calcium levels in the blood. Therefore, it may be advantageous to take a dietary supplement with both D3 & K2, but it is equally fine to take a multivitamin-mineral as a base regardless of what other supplements you take. Can I overdose on vitamin D? "Vitamin D toxicity" is rare, it can occur when someone takes huge mega doses such as more than 10,000 IU of vitamin D per day for several months. Remember to always follow the specified dosage. You can also test your vitamin D levels at the health center or privately.
