Vitamin D3 & K2 Depot "High-dose vitamin formula"

Your body can produce vitamin D itself with the help of UV-B light. The problem is that in Central Europe, sunlight is usually insufficient for this from October to March. During this time, your body draws on the vitamin D stores it built up during the sunnier months.

It is also not easy to obtain significant amounts through your diet, as vitamin D is found in larger quantities in only a few foods. With a vegan diet in particular, classic sources such as fatty fish are completely excluded.

Vitamin K is not all the same: K1 (phylloquinone) is found primarily in green leafy vegetables, while K2 (menaquinones) is produced, among other ways, through bacterial fermentation.

We use vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7, or MK-7 for short. This long-chain form remains available in the blood for longer than K1. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones.²

Because both vitamins play a role in calcium and bone health: vitamin D supports the normal absorption and utilization of calcium, while vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.¹ ²

That’s precisely why you often find D3 and K2 together in one product. In addition, various interactions between the two vitamins are being discussed, although these have not yet been conclusively established scientifically.

Yes. The product is suitable for a vegan and vegetarian diet. For vegan products, the vitamin D is obtained from lichens.

In principle, these nutrients can be part of the same supplement routine. The individual amounts and the total intake from all products are crucial. If you have pre-existing conditions or regularly take medication, the combination should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist.

We recommend a capsule every 5 days with plenty of water. Since both vitamins are fat-soluble, it is best taken with a meal containing some fat - but it does not need to be a large portion.
