    Vitamin D and K2 work as a team. D3 helps you absorb calcium efficiently, while K2 directs it to your bones instead of your arteries. Tap an area to explore.

    immune system

    Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system:

    • Reduced risk of respiratory infections such as the cold and flu
    • Early research suggests a correlation between vitamin D and a reduced risk of the body developing certain types of cancer
    • Helps activate the body's natural response to fight disease
    • May help fight development of autoimmune diseases

    calcium absorption

    Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and normal blood calcium levels. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

    • Helps to absorb calcium in the intestines
    • Helps to reclaim calcium that would otherwise be lost through the kidneys
    • Vitamin K2 helps activate osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix
    • Together, Vitamin D3 and K2 support efficient calcium use — ensuring it goes to bones and not soft tissues
    • Plays a role in the mineralisation of bone
    • Maintenance of blood calcium levels within a narrow range is vital for normal functioning of all cells in the body, including the nervous system, as well as for bone growth and maintenance of bone density

    muscles

    Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.

    • Helps to optimise muscle strength
    • Regulates neuromuscular functioning
    • Impacts protein synthesis
    • Deficiency may increase risk of muscle wasting

    bones & teeth

    Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

    • Helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, important for maintaining healthy bones
    • Vitamin K2 activates bone-building proteins that support long-term bone strength
    • The D3 + K2 combination helps ensure calcium is properly used to maintain strong bones and teeth
    • Increases level of calcium absorption in the body
    • Deficiency can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children
    • Deficiency can cause bone pain and bone abnormalities such as soft bones (osteomalacia) or fragile bones (osteoporosis)
    • Deficiency may increase the risk of underdeveloped teeth, tooth decay and gum disease

    cell division

    Vitamin D plays a role in the process of cell division.

    • Plays a major role in the life cycle of human cells
    • Regulates the ability of cells to control molecules that can damage DNA or proteins

    brain

    Vitamin D contributes to psychological wellbeing:

    • Studies have shown a link between Vitamin D deficiency and the development of seasonal affective disorder (SAD)/seasonal depression
    • Plays a role in regulating mood

    The sunshine vitamin

    Let the sunshine in

    Vitamin D is one of the most common deficiencies around the world and it's not surprising. Unlike our ancestors, we spend most of our lives indoors and don't get as much direct sunlight as we'd like.

    But even being outdoors isn’t always effective for Vitamin D production. The sun needs to be high enough in the sky—typically when your shadow is shorter than your height. If your shadow is longer than you are tall, or if it's too cloudy or late in the day, your body can’t produce Vitamin D. 

    That's why a supplement is especially important for people who:

    Have mostly indoor lifestyles

    Live in countries without year-round sunshine

    Wear sunscreen in the summer

    Have darker skin

    Wear long-sleeved clothes when outdoors

    Can't get direct sunlight daily between 10am and 2pm

    benefits of vitamin D

    frequently asked questions

    Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium, while Vitamin K2 helps direct that calcium to your bones where it’s needed. Together, they support normal bone health more effectively than Vitamin D3 alone.

    MK-7 is a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin K2 with a longer half-life in the body compared to MK-4. This means it stays active for longer and can be taken in lower, once-daily doses.

    400 IU (10 mcg) is a common recommendation for daily vitamin D supplementation.

    However, studies have shown that this is not sufficient for many people. 4000 IU is a more potent and effective dose, which is still within the safe limits.

    While it is true that Vitamin D toxicity can become an issue, this is generally for doses of 10,000 IU or more per day over a prolonged period of time.

    Of course it is always best to check with your GP for your specific situation, but 4000 IU is a perfectly safe dose for most people.

    Most supermarket quality Vitamin D is made from cheap synthetic ingredients. We’ve gone further to find sustainable, plant-based ingredients.

    For example, our Vitamin D is in the form D3 rather than D2 for higher effectiveness and we’ve removed palm oil from the formula.

    Our D3 is sourced from plant-based Lichen extract, rather than the animal-based Lanolin or fish used in most other D3 supplements.

    We have a high-strength 4000iu dose and offer a 3-month supply rather than the usual 1-month supply.

    No — this formula is designed for adults due to the higher strength of Vitamin D3 (4000 IU). Children require different dosages appropriate to their age.

    Most multivitamins contain small amounts of Vitamin D and/or K. Taking this product alongside them is usually fine, but always check the combined daily intake and consult your healthcare provider if unsure.

    Vitamin D is commonly recommended during pregnancy, but Vitamin K2 supplementation varies by individual needs. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their midwife or GP before taking a combined supplement.

    Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble, so it’s best absorbed with a meal or snack containing healthy fats. Morning or lunchtime works well for most people.

    This varies between individuals. While some may feel an improvement in energy or mood within weeks, bone-related benefits take longer as calcium metabolism adapts. Most people take Vitamin D3 + K2 for long-term maintenance.

    Yes — many people remain low in Vitamin D even through summer due to modern indoor lifestyles, sunscreen use, and limited midday sun exposure. Daily supplementation helps maintain consistent levels year-round.
