Who it is for

For adults who want to supplement vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 and prefer to take it only every few days, for example in the months with little sun. People taking anticoagulant medication should seek medical advice beforehand.

What is in one capsule?

One capsule contains 125 µg of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol (5,000 IU, 2,500% NRV) and 200 µg of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (267% NRV). Because it is taken only every fifth day, this corresponds on average to 25 µg of vitamin D3 (500% NRV) and 40 µg of vitamin K2 (53% NRV) per day.

Why MCT oil?

Vitamin D and vitamin K are fat-soluble. In the capsules they are therefore dissolved in MCT oil from coconut. The manufacturer also recommends taking the capsule with a meal that contains fat.

Vitamin D in everyday life

The body mainly produces vitamin D itself when the skin is exposed to UVB radiation from the sun. In Germany this is hardly possible in the winter months. Food adds only small amounts, for example from oily sea fish or eggs.

In case the body produces no vitamin D itself, the DGE gives an estimated value of 20 µg of vitamin D per day for adults.
