Sports Research Vitamin D3 + K2 con Aceite de Coco - Vitamina D3 5000 UI y K2 MK-7 100 mcg - Vegano, Certificado Sin OGM - 60 Cápsulas Blandas

What is the D3 and K2 vitamin combination?

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone) work synergistically to promote calcium metabolism and bone health. While D3 helps absorb calcium from food, K2 directs this mineral to bones and teeth, preventing its deposit in soft tissues. This combination is especially valued in daily supplementation to maintain strong bones and a healthy immune system.

Sports Research's formula uses vegan vitamin D3 obtained from lichens and vitamin K2 in its MK-7 form, derived from fermented chickpeas. In addition, it incorporates coconut MCT oil to optimize the absorption of these fat-soluble nutrients. Each softgel provides 125 mcg (5000 IU) of D3 and 100 mcg of K2, a dose designed to meet the daily needs of adults.

What are the benefits of vitamin D3 and K2?

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

By combining both vitamins, an adequate calcium cycle in the body is favored. Vitamin D3 stimulates the production of calcium transport proteins, while K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium in the bone matrix. In this way, it helps maintain bone density and reduce the risk of arterial calcification.*

How does vitamin K2 MK-7 work?

Vitamin K2 exists in several forms, with MK-7 being the most bioavailable and long-acting. Unlike MK-4, which remains in the body for a short time, MK-7 has a longer half-life, allowing for sustained activation of vitamin K-dependent proteins. This translates into better calcium targeting to the bones and greater cardiovascular protection.

Sports Research's MK-7 comes from fermented chickpeas, a natural process that guarantees its purity and stability. This form is especially recommended for those looking for an effective and high-quality supplement, with solid scientific backing.

Why choose Sports Research's vegan formula?

Most vitamin D3 supplements are obtained from lanolin (sheep fat), which is not suitable for vegans. Sports Research uses D3 from lichens, a sustainable and certified vegan plant source. In addition, K2 is obtained from fermented chickpeas, without animal-derived ingredients.

The product has vegan and Non-GMO Project Verified certifications, and is free of carrageenan, gluten, soy, and artificial fillers. Each batch is externally tested to verify its purity and potency, and is manufactured in the United States in facilities with good manufacturing practices (cGMP).

The inclusion of coconut MCT oil not only improves the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, but also provides medium-chain fatty acids that support energy metabolism. All this in an easy-to-swallow softgel capsule.

Recommended dosage

It is recommended to take one softgel daily, preferably with a meal containing fats for optimal absorption. Each capsule provides 125 mcg (5000 IU) of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (MK-7). Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

It is important to consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation, especially if you are taking anticoagulant medications or have any pre-existing medical condition.

Who should take this supplement?

This supplement is aimed at adults who want to maintain good bone health and a strong immune system. It is especially useful for people with limited sun exposure, restrictive diets (vegan, vegetarian), or over 50 years of age, who tend to have a lower ability to synthesize vitamin D.

It can also be beneficial for those who practice sports or lead an active lifestyle, as vitamin K2 contributes to joint and bone health. However, each person is different, so it is recommended to evaluate individual needs with a specialist.

Possible side effects and precautions

In general, the combination of vitamin D3 and K2 is well tolerated at recommended doses. However, an excess of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood), with symptoms such as nausea, weakness, or kidney problems. Vitamin K2 has a low risk of toxicity, but it can interfere with anticoagulants such as warfarin.

If you are undergoing medical treatments, you should consult your doctor before taking this supplement. Keep out of reach of young children.
