Windmill Natural Vitamins Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7, 100 mcg) + Vitamin D3 25 mcg (1000 IU), 60 Tablets

What is Vitamin K2?

Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone-7, is a form of vitamin K found naturally in fermented foods and animal products. Unlike vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), K2 has a longer half-life in the body and is absorbed more efficiently. This supplement combines 100 mcg of menaquinone-7 with 25 mcg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3, offering synergistic support for bone and cardiovascular health.

Benefits Endorsed by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved health claims for both vitamins. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. For its part, vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels, to the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function, and to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Thanks to the combination of K2 and D3, this supplement helps direct calcium to bones and teeth, preventing its accumulation in soft tissues such as arteries. This promotes both bone density and cardiovascular health.

How to Take Vitamin K2 and D3 Correctly?

The recommended dose is one tablet daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to optimize the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Each tablet provides 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) and 25 mcg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3. Do not exceed the indicated daily dose. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if you are taking anticoagulant medications (such as warfarin) or have pre-existing health conditions.

Who Can Benefit from Vitamin K2 with D3?

This supplement is suitable for adults who wish to maintain bone and cardiovascular health. People with restrictive diets (vegans, vegetarians), older adults with reduced vitamin D synthesis capacity, or those who spend little time in the sun may find benefits. Vitamin K2 is especially relevant for those taking calcium or vitamin D supplements, as it helps ensure that calcium is properly deposited in the bones and not in the arteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is found in green leafy vegetables and is essential for blood clotting. K2 (menaquinone) is found in foods such as natto and fermented cheeses, and plays a more important role in bone and cardiovascular health. Both are necessary, but K2 has greater bioavailability and remains in the body longer.

Can I take this supplement if I am on anticoagulants?

If you are taking anticoagulant medications such as warfarin, it is crucial to consult your doctor before taking any vitamin K supplement, as it may interfere with the medication. Vitamin K intake should be kept constant to avoid fluctuations in the anticoagulant effect.
