Ingredients explained
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and influences genes involved in bone mineralization and immune cell function.
Caution: High intakes may raise blood calcium levels; take as directed and discuss monitoring if you use high-dose vitamin D or multiple D-containing products.
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7)
MK-7 activates vitamin K–dependent proteins like osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein, which help guide calcium into bones and away from soft tissues.
Caution: Those using anticoagulant medications should consult a healthcare provider because vitamin K can affect how these drugs work.
How they work together
Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, while MK-7 activates proteins that use calcium for bone building and help keep it from depositing in soft tissues. Together they address both calcium uptake and proper utilization.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Do not use if you have a renal disorder or if you are pregnant or nursing. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have a medical condition or take medication, especially blood-thinning medication. Keep your healthcare provider informed to monitor vitamin D blood levels. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Who should be cautious: People on anticoagulants may need extra caution due to vitamin K. Those with kidney concerns, calcium balance issues, or who require monitoring of vitamin D levels should speak with a healthcare provider before use. If combining with anticoagulants, consult a healthcare provider before use.

Better together! Emerging research suggests that vitamins D3 and K2—two key nutrients for efficient calcium usage in the body—may have an even more beneficial effect when taken together. Swanson Vitamins D3 & K2 offers these heart and skeletal health helpers in a convenient, one-a-day veggie capsule.
Vitamin D helps build strong bones by increasing the body’s absorption of calcium and phosphorus. In supplement form, it is available as ergocalciferol (D2) or cholecalciferol (D3). Studies indicate that D3 may be the more potent and longer-acting form preferred by the body. It goes beyond bones, too, as skeletal health encompasses bones, joints and tissues—caring for these also protects mobility and stability, both important aspects of healthy aging.
Similarly, vitamin K is found in K1 and K2 forms. K2 is of particular importance for the health of bones and cardiovascular system as it helps direct calcium out of the arteries and to the bones. K2 is made up of a series of menaquinones, of which menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is most efficiently absorbed and bioavailable.
New understanding of the interaction of vitamins D and K suggests that vitamin D enhances the concentration of bone proteins that rely on vitamin K for healthy bone formation and in turn, the essential mineralization stimulated by vitamin K may be positively impacted by the presence of vitamin D.
Vitamins D3 and K2 show promise specifically for women's health, not only by promoting strong bones and arteries, but also by supporting a positive mood and helping to maintain blood sugar and blood lipid levels already within the normal range.
Swanson Vitamins D3 & K2 provides 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vegan D3 derived from lichen and 100 mcg soy-free chickpea-sourced K2 as MK-7 in a once-daily veggie cap to help maintain cardiovascular health and promote strong, healthy bones.
