Overview
•125 mcg (5000 IU) D3 exceeds standard 15-20 mcg daily maintenance but is common for deficiency correction; monitor serum 25(OH)D levels to avoid hypercalcemia.
•100 mcg MK-7 K2 is within studied ranges for supporting arterial health when paired with D3.
•May interact with blood thinners like warfarin due to vitamin K's role in clotting; consult physician if on anticoagulants.
•Generally well-tolerated but high-dose D3 can cause nausea, constipation or kidney strain in sensitive individuals or with excessive calcium intake.
•Not recommended in pregnancy or nursing without medical supervision due to high D3 dose.
•Contains gelatin, so not suitable for vegetarians or those with gelatin allergies.
