4000IU Vitamin D3 + 100ug K2 (MK-7)
Applied Nutrition Vitamin D3 + K2 is a 60-capsule daily combination supplement. Each 1-capsule serving delivers 4000IU (100ug) of vitamin D3 and 100ug of vitamin K2 as MK-7. The combination qualifies for the following EU-authorised health claims under Regulation 432/2012:
- Vitamin D3 100ug / 4000IU (2000% NRV) - contributes to normal muscle function, the maintenance of normal bones, normal calcium and phosphorus absorption, normal blood calcium levels, the normal function of the immune system, and the maintenance of normal teeth.
- Vitamin K2 100ug (133% NRV) - vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and to the maintenance of normal bones. The MK-7 form (menaquinone-7) is the most bioavailable vitamin K2 isomer and has the longest half-life of any K2 form, supporting sustained serum activity from a single daily dose.
D3 and K2 are combined because they work on the same metabolic axis. Vitamin D3 increases intestinal calcium absorption; vitamin K2 (as MK-7) activates osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein, directing calcium toward bone and away from arterial tissue. Supplementing D3 without K2 raises serum calcium; K2 determines where that calcium is deposited. The combination is standard practice in clinical supplementation protocols for bone and cardiovascular health.
Built for adults over 30, post-menopausal women, and athletes in heavy loading phases who want both vitamin D repletion and K2-mediated calcium control in one capsule. Applied Nutrition own-brand value tier: a targeted two-ingredient formula at a dose typical of specialist D3+K2 products.
