{"product_id":"vitamin-d3-k2","title":"Vitamin D3 + K2 — Vitamin D \u0026 K Food Supplement","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat Vitamin D3 + K2 Bloom Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 + K2 Bloom pairs two fat-soluble vitamins in a single daily supplement, in the coral pouch that identifies it across the range. It is sold in three pack sizes, and the product inside each is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy D3 And K2 Are Sold Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two are frequently combined, and the reason is chemical rather than promotional: both are \u003cstrong\u003efat-soluble\u003c\/strong\u003e vitamins, which means they dissolve in fat rather than in water. Water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C and the B group are handled differently by the body from fat-soluble ones, and the practical consequence for you is that fat-soluble vitamins are usually suggested to be taken with a meal that contains some fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairing them in one product is therefore a convenience decision: two vitamins that suit the same moment in the day, in one serving instead of two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eD2, D3, And Why The Letter After The D Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D comes in two forms that appear on labels. \u003cstrong\u003eD2\u003c\/strong\u003e (ergocalciferol) is typically derived from yeast or fungi. \u003cstrong\u003eD3\u003c\/strong\u003e (cholecalciferol) is the form most commonly supplied in supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD3 itself has two common sources. Most D3 on the market is derived from \u003cstrong\u003elanolin\u003c\/strong\u003e, the oil from sheep's wool, which means it is not suitable for vegans. D3 can also be produced from \u003cstrong\u003elichen\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is plant-based and is how a vegan D3 is made. This is a genuine difference, not a marketing one, and it is the reason our range carries a separate vegan D3 product rather than relabelling this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eK1 And K2 — Also Not The Same Letter Twice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin K also splits into forms. \u003cstrong\u003eK1\u003c\/strong\u003e (phylloquinone) is the form found in leafy green vegetables. \u003cstrong\u003eK2\u003c\/strong\u003e (menaquinone) is found in fermented foods and some animal products, and it is the form used in supplements of this type. Within K2 there are further sub-forms, usually written as MK-4 and MK-7, which differ in origin and in how long they persist once taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone of this is trivia. If you are comparing two D3 and K2 products, the things that actually differ between them are the source of the D3, which sub-form of K2 is used, and the amount of each per serving. Those three lines on a label tell you more than anything printed on the front of a pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Vitamin D Is Measured\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is written two ways, and both appear on labels. \u003cstrong\u003eIU\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for International Units, an older measure still widely used. \u003cstrong\u003eµg\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003emcg\u003c\/strong\u003e is micrograms, the metric measure used in nutrition labelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey describe the same thing at a fixed relationship: 1 µg of vitamin D equals 40 IU. So 25 µg is the same as 1000 IU, and 100 µg is the same as 4000 IU. If you are comparing products, convert them to the same unit first — a pack showing a large IU figure and a pack showing a small µg figure may be identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Fits Into Your Routine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFat-soluble vitamins are generally taken with a meal, which makes this one easy to anchor: it attaches itself to a mealtime rather than needing a slot of its own. In the United Kingdom, a vitamin D supplement is commonly taken year-round by some people and seasonally by others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Get In Each Pack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single pack, a 2 pack and a 4 pack. Identical product in each; only the quantity changes. Prices are shown on this page before you add anything to your basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults who want vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in one daily supplement rather than two, and who want to see the form of each written out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you follow a vegan diet, check the source of the D3 before buying any vitamin D product, including this one — the vegan D3 in our range exists precisely because the default source is not plant-based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions, Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between vitamin D2 and D3?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD2 (ergocalciferol) is usually derived from yeast or fungi. D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form most commonly used in supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs vitamin D3 vegan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot usually. Most D3 is derived from lanolin, which comes from sheep's wool. D3 made from lichen is plant-based, which is why a separate vegan product exists in our range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eK1 is the form found in leafy greens. K2 is found in fermented foods and some animal products, and is the form used in supplements of this type. K2 is further divided into sub-forms, commonly written as MK-4 and MK-7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I convert IU to micrograms for vitamin D?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 µg equals 40 IU. So 25 µg is 1000 IU, and 100 µg is 4000 IU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are D3 and K2 sold in one product?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth are fat-soluble vitamins that suit the same moment in the day, so combining them saves taking two things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I take it with food?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFat-soluble vitamins are generally suggested to be taken with a meal containing some fat.
