ensure optimum biological activity of both vitamins. Therefore, if supplementing with
vitamin D3, we need to also include sources of vitamin K2 in our diets, or take a
supplement

Please note: This supplement contains 100µg (4000iu) of vitamin D3 per capsule. If
taking other supplements containing vitamin D please check your total daily intake and if
it is 125µg (5000iu) or more per day, for more than two to four months, you should have
your vitamin D levels checked. An adequate blood level is considered to be above 50
nmol/litre; the scientific literature suggests that a higher level of between 100 to 150
nmol/litre is optimal; levels above 250 nmol/litre are not advised. Please note some
laboratories use different units i.e. ng/ml rather than nmol/litre quoted here. In this case
the optimal range is 40 to 60 ng/ml
