CALCIUM+ VITAMIN D3 + VITAMIN K2
This combination adds vitamin K2 to the familiar calcium and vitamin D3 pairing. D3 helps the gut absorb calcium, and K2 is involved in directing that calcium into bone, which is the reasoning behind putting all three together.
What This Combination Is Used For
- Supporting bone density in adults
- Bone health after menopause and in older age
- Topping up a diet low in dairy and green vegetables
- Support alongside treatment for osteoporosis
Common Side Effects
- Constipation and bloating
- Gas
- Nausea if taken without food
Precautions
Vitamin K2 interferes with warfarin, so anyone on that blood thinner must not take these products without medical advice. People with kidney stones, kidney disease or high blood calcium should check first. Take it with a meal, and remember that weight bearing exercise and sunlight exposure do as much for bone as any supplement.
