About D3 and K2
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form of vitamin D your skin makes when it's exposed to sunlight. Most of us don't get enough year-round, especially in the parts of the world where winter cuts back daylight hours. Vitamin D contributes to several normal physiological functions and is included in this formula according to the licensed uses listed below. Our D3 comes from lichen.
Vitamin K2 is a member of the vitamin K family and is included in this formula alongside vitamin D3. The form in this product is MK-7 (menaquinone-7), which has the longest half-life in the body of the K2 forms. Our MK-7 comes from natto (a traditional Japanese fermented soybean).
D3 and K2 are commonly combined in nutritional formulations.

What to expect
Vitamins like D3 and K2 aren't the kind of supplements you tend to feel day to day. They contribute to systems that don't have a strong subjective signal, which is normal and expected. If you have specific questions about how you're responding to supplementation, your healthcare provider can help you decide what's right for your situation.

Common questions
What should I expect when the bottle arrives? +
Quick rundown of what we ship and how it gets to you. Every bottle is checked before it leaves us, then double-sealed: clear shrink wrap on the outside, tamper-evident foil under the cap. Amazon takes it from there. We work with Amazon FBA, so they handle our storage and shipping end-to-end. Your bottle will land in either a small box or a padded Amazon mailer, depending on the order. Both are completely normal. If anything looks off when you open it, send us a note and we'll sort it out. Contact info's at the end of this guide.
What if it doesn't agree with me? +
Finding your match of a supplement is the goal, and we know that takes a little trial sometimes. If you get your first bottle and it doesn't sit right with you for any reason, get in touch. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on your first bottle and we'll refund it.
Why combine D3 and K2? +
D3 helps your body absorb calcium from the food you eat, and K2 supports how that calcium is used in bones and teeth. The two work together, which is why you'll often see them paired in modern formulations.
Why MK-7 and not another form of K2? +
K2 comes in a few different forms. MK-7 is the one in this product, found naturally in fermented foods like natto, and it's the form behind most of the current K2 research.
Why should I take this with food? +
Take with a meal containing some fat, as directed. A meal with even a small amount of fat (avocado, olive oil, eggs, nuts, fish) can help your body take in the full dose.
Is 1,000 IU of D3 enough? +
This product provides the licensed daily dose. It's a maintenance dose that can be appropriate for daily use, especially if you also get some sun exposure and eat a varied diet. If you have a known deficiency or live somewhere with limited sunlight for much of the year, your healthcare provider may recommend a different dose based on bloodwork.
Is it for men and women? +
Yes, all adults 19+.
Can I take it with my medication? +
Talk to your healthcare provider first, especially if you take blood thinners. Vitamin K plays a role in clotting, so dose and timing may need to be coordinated with your provider.
Can I stack it with other Kasha Nutrition supplements? +
We always recommend talking to your healthcare provider before combining any supplements. Every body is different, and your provider knows your personal health history best. If they give you the green light, we suggest introducing one supplement at a time and seeing how your body responds before adding the next.
Larger bottles or subscription? +
Our current size is 240 capsules, which is an 8-month supply at the standard dose. We're always working on expanding our catalogue with new sizes and product lines, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, you can find us on Amazon at our Amazon storefront, where we run ongoing promotions, offer Subscribe & Save, and bulk-purchase discounts at checkout.
