Looking for a high-dose Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 in one capsule? NOW Foods Mega D-3 & MK-7 combines 125 µg of vitamin D3 (5000 IU) with 180 µg of vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7. The K2 comes from MenaQ7®, a recognized branded ingredient. One jar contains 60 vegetable capsules.

Why D3 and K2 are often combined

Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 are both fat-soluble and are often offered together in one product for this reason. Vitamin D3 is cholecalciferol, the form your skin produces itself under the influence of sunlight, which is harder to keep at a good level in winter. Vitamin K2 is a lesser-known vitamin, but present in food. In this formula, you get vitamin D3 and K2 in a fixed ratio, so you don't have to combine two separate products. Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin, because your skin produces it itself under the influence of sunlight; it is precisely during the darker months that this works less well. This explains why many people supplement their vitamin D intake all year round, and why a combined D3-K2 formula is popular.

What D3 and K2 contribute to

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and the normal functioning of the immune system, and plays a role in the absorption and utilization of calcium. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. Both vitamins therefore contribute, among other things, to the maintenance of normal bones. The two vitamins thus complement each other in this product. The full list of approved health claims for these two vitamins can be found further down this page, along with the safety information.

Vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 from MenaQ7®

The vitamin K2 in this product is menaquinone-7, abbreviated MK-7, derived from the branded ingredient MenaQ7®. MK-7 is one of the most commonly used forms of vitamin K2 in dietary supplements and is recognized as a well-absorbed variant. MenaQ7® is one of the most well-known branded ingredients for this form of K2. Each capsule contains 180 µg of K2, in addition to 125 µg of vitamin D3. This makes it a high-dose combination of vitamin D3 and K2 in one vegetable hypromellose capsule. The ratio between a high dose of D3 and a generous amount of K2 is deliberately chosen, so that both fat-soluble vitamins are taken together in one go.

60 vegetable capsules

One jar contains 60 Vcaps, which is two months of daily use. The ingredient list is clear: the two vitamins, a vegetable hypromellose shell and a few functional excipients such as rice flour and silicon dioxide, without any other superfluity. Due to the high dosage and the presence of vitamin K, the safety information on this page is important; read it carefully, especially if you are taking blood thinners. Since both vitamins are present in a fixed quantity in a single capsule, you do not need to buy them separately or combine them yourself. This makes it a clear choice for those who deliberately opt for the combination of these two fat-soluble vitamins. In short: a high-dose D3-K2 combination from a recognized brand known for its clear labels and controlled production.
