aSquared Nutrition Vitamina D3 con K2 MK-7 - 180 Pastillas Masticables

What is the D3 and K2 vitamin combination?

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone) are two fat-soluble nutrients that work synergistically to support bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, while vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. This supplement combines 2000 IU of D3 with 75 mcg of K2 in MK-7 form, the variant with the highest bioavailability and prolonged half-life.

Each chewable tablet has a pleasant cherry flavor, making it easy to consume daily without the need for water. The chewable format allows for rapid absorption, ideal for those who prefer to avoid large capsules or tablets.

Health Benefits

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin D contributes to:

• The normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• The maintenance of normal blood calcium levels.
• The maintenance of normal bones.
• The maintenance of normal muscle function.
• The maintenance of normal teeth.

For its part, vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones.

The combination of D3 and K2 is especially relevant because vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to bones and teeth, preventing its accumulation in soft tissues such as arteries. This promotes optimal cardiovascular health naturally.

How to choose the best D3 and K2 supplement?

When selecting a supplement, it is important to consider the form and dosage of each nutrient. Vitamin D3 should be present as cholecalciferol, the most effective form for raising blood levels. For K2, the MK-7 form is preferable due to its longer half-life (about 72 hours) compared to MK-4, which allows for more sustained action with a single daily dose.

This product offers 2000 IU of D3 and 75 mcg of K2 MK-7 per tablet, a balanced dose that covers 500% and 94% of the recommended daily values, respectively. In addition, the chewable format facilitates intake and initial sublingual absorption, improving bioavailability.

It is advisable to choose non-genetically modified (Non-GMO) products manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), such as this supplement.

Recommended dosage

The suggested dose is one chewable tablet daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to optimize the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Each container has 180 tablets, enough for 180 days of use (or 90 days if two tablets are taken daily, as needed). Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Who should take it?

This supplement is indicated for adults who wish to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D and K, especially in cases of limited sun exposure, restrictive diets or increased needs (advanced age, osteoporosis, menopause). It is also useful for those seeking support for bone and cardiovascular health preventively.

As with any food supplement, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before starting consumption, especially if you are taking anticoagulant medications or have any medical condition.

Possible side effects and contraindications

In general, vitamin D3 and K2 are well tolerated at recommended doses. However, excessive doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Vitamin K2 has no known toxicity, but it can interact with anticoagulants such as warfarin. If you are taking medication, consult your doctor before using this product.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of the reach of small children.
