Better Together! Emerging research suggests that vitamins D3 and K2—two key nutrients for efficient calcium utilization in the body—may have an even more beneficial effect when taken together. Swanson Vitamins D3 & K2 offers this bone and heart support in a convenient, once-daily vegetarian capsule.

What if you already supplement with vitamins D and K or get them from your diet? Now Swanson offers a low-dose D3 & K2 combination just for you. Swanson low-dose Vitamins D3 & K2 provides 50 mcg (2,000 IU) of vegetarian D3 from lichen and 75 mcg of soy-free K2 from chickpeas in one daily capsule to help support a healthy heart and strong, healthy bones.

Vitamin D helps build strong bones by increasing the body's absorption of calcium and phosphorus. In supplement form, it is available as ergocalciferol (D2) or cholecalciferol (D3). Research indicates that D3 may be the more active and longer-acting form preferred by the body.

Similarly, vitamin K comes in forms K1 and K2. K2 is particularly important for bone and cardiovascular health because it helps direct calcium from the arteries to the bones. K2 consists of a series of menaquinones, of which menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the most absorbable and bioavailable.

New understanding of the interaction of vitamins D and K suggests that vitamin D increases the concentration of bone proteins that rely on vitamin K for proper bone formation and, in return, the essential mineralization stimulated by vitamin K may be positively influenced by the presence of vitamin D.
