Who is Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops intended for and how to use?Updated 8 hours ago

Optimal Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops are intended for anyone who wishes to support normal calcium deposition and regulation, bone health, and healthy immune system functioning.†

This product is perfect for individuals with low sun exposure (such as due to clothing, geographical location, and lifestyle), a diet that doesn’t include seafood, seeking a soy-free alternative of vitamin K2, or are unable to swallow capsules.

  • Supports a healthy immune system
  • Supports healthy teeth and bones
  • Olive oil based delivery system enhances absorption

The combination of these two ingredients are essential for health. Ensuring you have sufficient levels is incredibly important.

Assess each statement below. If you relate to one or more, then Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops may be the vitamin D supplement you need:

  • I have darker skin.
  • I’m overweight.
  • I am 50+ years old.
  • My job is indoors.
  • I have to avoid sun exposure.
  • I have a hard time swallowing capsules.
  • I want to have greater control over the serving size I take.
  • My kid cannot swallow capsules
  • I have low stomach acid or other problems with digesting and absorbing nutrients from capsules.
  • My teeth are causing me problems. I’d like to support healthy teeth.
  • My child is experiencing a growth spurt. I want to support their teeth and bone development in a proactive, healthy way.
  • I dont like having to take my supplements with food.
  • I live in areas of low sunshine. I know I need additional vitamin D3 with K2.
  • My blood sugar levels are high. I want to support healthy blood sugar levels.
  • I struggle with recurrent colds, styes, cold sores and get sick often. I want to support a healthy immune system.
  • My bones ache and are weaker. I want to support healthy, strong bones.
  • Lab testing shows that my vitamin D3 levels are low. I want to support healthy D3 levels safely by also supplementing with vitamin K2.

If a number of those resonated with you, then Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops is something that you should seriously consider.

If none of the statements above relate to your current life situation, then Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops is most likely not something you need right now.

How do I use Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops? 

Suggested Use

As needed, dispense one drop and take by mouth any time of day, with or without food. Use as directed by your healthcare professional. 

Generally speaking, Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops is a supplement that you can use daily. 

I prefer taking Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops every night after dinner. I usually take it along with my other foundational supplements: Optimal Fish Oil and ProBiota HistaminX

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Optimal Prenatal and Prenatal Essentials already provide you 4,000 IU of D3 and 100 mcg of K2 as MK7 with each serving. You should not need to supplement with Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops unless your healthcare professional advised you to do so. 

The safe daily upper limit intake of vitamin D3 for: 

  • 4-8 years old is 3,000 IU.
  • 9 years and above is 4,000 IU

You may use Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops for kids 1 years old and up. You would not give it to them daily. Instead, you would give it to them every other day. This way, they stay within the safe upper limit range. 

It’s recommended to test your vitamin D3 levels periodically with your doctor. You don’t want them too high or too low. If too high, it can contribute to high blood calcium levels. Ask your doctor to test blood calcium levels if you discover that your D3 levels are in the high range. 

There is a lot of confusion about what the ideal vitamin D3 range is. Talk with your doctor about this. 

I personally like to see my vitamin D3 levels between 30-50 ng/mL. I know some health professionals like to see vitamin D3 levels quite high for some conditions such as autoimmune disease. Follow your health professional’s recommendation. 

Magnesium does support vitamin D3 metabolism. We don’t provide magnesium in any of our vitamin D3 supplements because it’s bulky. That would mean a larger capsule or multiple capsules per serving. 

Where can you get extra magnesium? You can get 150 mg of magnesium from either Optimal Electrolyte or Optimal Magnesium. I drink Optimal Electrolyte every day so I don’t need to use Optimal Magnesium.
