Bio-Tech D3-K2 120 Cápsulas Vegetales

What is the combination of vitamin D3 and K2?

Discover Bio-Tech D3-K2 Vegcaps — The combination of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) is a supplement designed to support bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, helping to maintain normal blood calcium levels. For its part, vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of bones under normal conditions. Together, these fat-soluble vitamins work synergistically to direct calcium to the bones and teeth, promoting proper mineralization.

This Bio-Tech Pharmacal product contains 120 vegan capsules formulated with natural D3 and K2 in its most bioavailable form, menaquinone-7 (MK-7). MK-7 is characterized by a longer half-life in the body compared to MK-4, allowing for a sustained release of vitamin K2 throughout the day.

Although the exact dose is not specified in the product source, typical amounts in combined supplements range from 1000 to 2000 IU of vitamin D3 and between 50 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (as MK-7). It is advisable to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label and consult a health professional before starting any supplementation, especially if you are taking anticoagulant medications.

Who should take it?

This supplement is suitable for adults who wish to support their bone and cardiovascular health, especially those with limited sun exposure, diets low in vitamin K2, or older people who may have reduced vitamin D absorption. It is not recommended for children without medical supervision.

Possible side effects

In general, vitamin D3 and K2 are safe within the recommended doses. An excess of vitamin D3 can lead to hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels), while vitamin K2 has a low risk of toxicity. People taking anticoagulants such as warfarin should consult their doctor before taking K2, as it may interfere with the effect of the medication.
