Vitamin D3 vs D3 K2: Which Should You Take?

Person enjoying sunshine, vitamin D lifestyle scene

Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium, and vitamin K2 helps direct that calcium to your bones rather than your arteries. That is why D3 with K2 is usually the better choice. Here is the breakdown.

Vitamin D3 on its own

D3 is the form your body makes from sunlight and the one most of us run low on, especially in winter. It supports calcium absorption, bone health, and immunity.

Why add K2

Without K2, the calcium D3 helps absorb does not always end up where you want it. K2 helps guide it to your bones. Together they work the way nature intended.

Which should you take?

  • ✓ For most people, D3 paired with K2 is the smarter daily choice
  • ✓ Take it with a meal that has some fat for absorption

Our Vitamin D3 K2 Supplement combines both.
