Are You Taking Vitamin D the Wrong Way?

Written By Stacy Nunnelee

You’ve probably heard that vitamin D is essential for immune health, bone strength, mood, and more. But what most people don’t realize is that taking plain old vitamin D on its own might not be doing you much good.

The Key Missing Ingredient: K2

Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium, but vitamin K2 tells it where to go—like your bones and teeth. Without enough K2, that calcium could end up in the wrong places, like arteries or soft tissue. Not ideal.

D3 opens the door, K2 shows it where to sit.

Why It Matters for You

Especially for women over 40, taking D3 without K2 may not offer the full benefit you’re expecting. K2 helps:

  • Support healthy bone density

  • Keep arteries flexible

  • Prevent calcium buildup where you don’t want it

How to Take It Right

✔ Look for a supplement that combines Vitamin D3 + K2 (preferably MK-7)
✔ Take it with a meal that includes fat (both are fat-soluble vitamins)
✔ Check with your practitioner if you're on blood thinners or have clotting concerns
