Vitamin D3 is well known for it's health benefits, but many people often forget that these health benefits are enhanced when D3 is combined with K2.
For example, vitamin D3 and K2 are both essential for calcium absorption in the bone. Vitamin D3 increases absorption whilst K2 activates a protein called osteocalcin, which integrates the calcium into the bone.
Without these two nutrients, calcium cannot do it's job effectively.
D3 - Plant Based D3 with K2
The amount of D3 you need can vary from person to person—because let’s face it, we’re all a little different! Some of us just need a bit more sunshine (or supplements) to keep our glow.
Here’s what you need to know to make the best judgment:
Sunlight is Key:
Your skin can produce 4,000 to 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 in just 10-30 minutes of sun exposure¹. However, if you’re spending more time indoors or live in an area with limited sunlight, you’ll likely need to supplement.
Current Guidelines Are Too Low:
The current recommended daily intake of 400-800 IU is considered too low by many experts. Studies suggest that to reach optimal levels of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (the form your body uses), you likely need 1.5-6 times more than the current guidelines, which translates to around 2,000 IU per day for adults²,³.
Higher Doses Are Safe:
Research shows that even at doses of 2,000 IU daily, there’s no risk of oversupply, and some people may even need more to achieve optimal levels. Studies have shown that individuals taking 2,000 IU per day do not exceed safe levels, even with adequate sun exposure⁴.
Personalized Doses:
For the most accurate advice, it’s always a good idea to consult a health professional. A blood test is the best way to monitor your Vitamin D levels and adjust your intake accordingly. A more personalized approach recommends 40-60 IU of Vitamin D per kilogram of body weight. So, for a 60 kg (132 lb) person, that would be 2,400-3,600 IU per day⁵.
