Take 1 capsule daily, preferably with a meal.

The first key difference between Vitamin D+K and other vitamin D or vitamin K supplements is the dosage of ingredients. Vitamin D+K contains 2,000 IU (50 mcg) of vitamin D3, 100 mcg of vitamin K1, and 180 mcg of vitamin K2, which is significantly more than you’ll find in most similar supplements.

The second key difference is the type of vitamin K2 we include in Vitamin D+K. While many supplements contain vitamin K1, most don’t include vitamin K2, and if they do it’s often not the menaquinone 7 (MK-7) form, which is the most scientifically validated form for enhancing vitamin K2 status.

Yes.

We’ve formulated Vitamin D+K to work in conjunction with other Legion supplements like Triumph, which also contains vitamins D and K.

The primary difference is that Triumph contains a relatively small dose of vitamin D, K1, and K2. The reason for this is that some people get significantly more vitamin D and K than others based on their diet, sun exposure, and other variables, making additional supplementation unnecessary.

If you don’t get plenty of vitamin D3, K1, and K2 from sun exposure and diet, though, then it’s beneficial to get more through supplementation.

It depends.

If you get regular sun exposure and eat plenty of foods that are high in vitamin D, K1, and K2, you may not need to supplement with vitamin D+K, especially if you’re already taking Triumph or another multivitamin that contains these nutrients.

That said, most people don’t get much vitamin D or K from their diet (especially vitamin K2), and it’s impossible to know how much vitamin D your body is producing naturally from sun exposure without a blood test, which most people don’t want to do. Given that it’s very difficult to take too much vitamin D, most people opt to supplement to make sure they don’t develop an insufficiency. In other words, you’re more likely to run into problems from not getting enough vitamin D than you are from getting too much.

Whether or not you should take Vitamin D+K if you’re taking another multivitamin depends on how much of these nutrients the multivitamin contains, but most have only a small dose of each (If any). A good rule of thumb is that you want to get at least 2,000 IU of vitamin D, 100 mcg of vitamin K1, and 180 mcg of vitamin K2 per day. If you’re able to reach these numbers through diet and your current multivitamin, then you don’t need to take Vitamin D+K, but if not, supplementation can help.

As noted above, it’s very unlikely that you’ll take too much vitamin D or K, so many people prefer to take Vitamin D+K as an “insurance policy” against insufficiency.

It depends, primarily on how much vitamin D and K you get from your diet and how much vitamin D your body produces naturally, which is influenced by a number of variables including sun exposure, skin pigmentation, age, and more.

That said, most people don’t eat many of the foods that are highest in vitamin K (especially vitamin K2), and vitamin D insufficiency can occur even in people who follow healthy diets and get regular sun exposure.

It’s also very difficult to take enough vitamin D and K to harm your health. While the upper limit for vitamin D is set at 4,000 IU per day (twice what you’d find in Vitamin D+K), studies show people can take up to 10,000 IU per day without negative effects.[1][2] Vitamin K is similar—there’s currently no established upper limit, and it’s basically impossible to get too much from a combination of food and a moderate dose like you’ll find in Vitamin D+K.

The most common things we hear from customers are noticeable improvements in energy and mood, but it’s important to remember that many of the benefits of vitamin D and K supplementation aren’t things you’ll feel, but are still extremely beneficial for your health: Stronger, denser bones, healthier, more pliable arteries, and a more robust immune system.

While you may not feel any of these changes in the short term, you’ll reap the benefits in terms of a lower risk of fracture and heart disease as well as fewer respiratory tract infections over time.

What it boils down to is this:

When you assist some of the most important physiological mechanisms in the body by ensuring it has the raw ingredients to perform at its best, just about everything runs better.

Our products include a Proposition 65 warning in compliance with California’s regulatory guidelines, which are among the most stringent and sweeping in the world.

A Proposition 65 warning does not indicate whether a product is safe or unsafe. Rather, Proposition 65 is a consumer notification law in California that requires warnings to inform consumers about the presence of one or more of over 900 substances in various types of products. These substances include naturally occurring and ubiquitous compounds, even when present at levels below those known to cause harm.

We’re not aware of any reasons it would be harmful, but it’s always best to play it safe and check with your doctor first.

There are very few negative interactions between vitamins D and K and medications, but there are some, and thus you should always talk to your doctor if you’re currently taking medication and want to consider taking Vitamin D+K.

Yes.

No, because the vitamin D is derived from lanolin, which is an animal product.
