Vit D3 and K2

2025-02-14 14:01:35
Is it necessary to take vitamin K2 along with vitamin D3 supplements? I've noticed that many people recommend this combination, but my doctor prescribed vitamin D3 without K2. I just want clarity on whether K2 is essential when taking D3, and if so, what would be the recommended dosage for K2 when taking vitamin D3 at 60,000 IU?

Vitamin k2 and vitamin d3 both have role in maintaining our calcium levels in our bones, our body need calcium to build and maintain bones. When it breaks down calcium in our bodies, vitamin K2 activates a protein that helps the mineral bind to our bones to do its job. In short higher K2 intake improves bone density and reduces the risk of bone fractures.Vitamin K2 (MK-4) supplementation is quite safe even at doses of 15 mg three times a day, on other hand vit d3 increases absorption of calcium from you diet.
Next Steps
if your bone density is severly low then you can add vit k2 60mcg tablets twice a day.(it may vary as respective to your weight
