Option+ Vitamin K2 100mcg + D3 1000IU 60 Gummies

Option+ Vitamin K2 100mcg + D3 1000IU is a combination supplement containing vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 in gummy form. 

Ingredients:

• Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7): 100mcg
• Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): 1000 IU

Benefits (Claimed):

• Bone Health: Vitamin K2 plays a role in bone health by directing calcium to the bones and away from blood vessels. Vitamin D3 helps with calcium absorption.
• May Improve Heart Health: Vitamin K2 may contribute to heart health by preventing calcium buildup in arteries.
• Other Potential Benefits: Limited evidence suggests vitamin K2 and D3 might offer benefits for blood sugar control and immune function.

Considerations:

• Vitamin D3 Dosage: 1000 IU is a high dose of vitamin D3. While it can be beneficial for those with deficiencies, healthy adults typically don't need this much.
• Individual Needs: Vitamin D needs vary depending on age, health status, and sun exposure. A blood test can help determine your individual needs.
• Vitamin K2 Benefits: While some research suggests benefits of vitamin K2, especially MK-7 form like this supplement provides, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness for various conditions.

Recommendations:

• Consult Your Doctor: Discuss Option+ Vitamin K2 100mcg + D3 1000IU with your doctor before taking it, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or take other medications. They can assess your individual needs for both vitamins K2 and D3 and recommend the appropriate dosage.
• Blood Tests: Getting blood tests for vitamin D and potentially K levels can help determine deficiencies and guide proper dosage.
• Consider Sun Exposure: Moderate sunlight exposure can help your body naturally produce vitamin D.
• Dietary Sources: Include vitamin K-rich foods like leafy green vegetables, fermented foods (natto), and some cheeses in your diet. Fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods are good sources of vitamin D.
• Gummy Form: Be mindful of the sugar content in gummy vitamins, especially if you have diabetes or other health conditions where sugar intake is a concern.
