Nordic Gentry Vitamin D3 + K2 are two fat-soluble vitamins that work synergistically in calcium metabolism. D3 increases calcium absorption, while K2 directs calcium to the bones and teeth – instead of soft tissue and blood vessels.

During October–March when sun exposure is minimal in the Nordic region, D3 + K2 support is especially important .

Formulated in coconut oil for optimal absorption – fat-soluble vitamins require fat to be absorbed effectively.
100% vegan D3 from lichen – instead of lanolin (sheep's wool) that most D3 products use.

K2 as MK-7 – the long-acting form with a 72-hour half-life that provides stable levels over time, unlike the shorter MK-4 form.

Questions & Answers

What is the difference between vitamin D2 and D3?

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the natural form produced in the skin upon sun exposure – and is significantly more effective than vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D. Our product contains high-quality D3 from a vegan source (lichen).

Why is support with D3 + K2 extra important during October–March in the Nordic region?

During October–March when sun exposure is minimal in the Nordic region, D3 + K2 support is especially important. During these months, the body produces almost no vitamin D naturally through sunlight, making supplementation especially valuable.

Vitamin K2 ensures that the calcium that D3 helps the body absorb ends up in the right place – in the bones and teeth – instead of in the blood vessels.

Why is your vitamin D3 vegan when most D3 products are not?

Most vitamin D3 products are made from lanolin (fat from sheep's wool), which is not vegan. Our vitamin D3 is extracted from lichen (a symbiosis between fungus and algae), making it 100% vegan. This form is more uncommon on the market, but we do this to have a product that is suitable for everyone.

Why combine vitamin D3 with K2?

Vitamin D3 and K2 work synergistically together. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from food, while vitamin K2 ensures that calcium ends up in the right place - in the bones and teeth, instead of in the blood vessels and soft tissues.

Together they contribute to maintaining normal bone structure and normal blood coagulation.
The beneficial effect of vitamin D is achieved with a daily intake of 15 µg.
The beneficial effect of vitamin K is achieved with a daily intake of 30 µg.

What form of vitamin K2 does the product contain?

The product contains vitamin K2 as MK-7 (menaquinone-7), which is the most studied and bioactive form of vitamin K2. MK-7 has a longer half-life in the body (approximately 72 hours) compared to MK-4, which provides more stable levels over time.

Why are vitamins formulated in coconut oil?

Both vitamin D3 and K2 are fat-soluble vitamins, meaning they require fat to be absorbed effectively in the gut. By formulating the vitamins in coconut oil, we ensure that each capsule contains the fat needed for better absorption.

How much vitamin D do I really need?

Our product contains 50 µg (2000 IU) per capsule, which is a dose often recommended by many experts and organizations to maintain desirable levels, especially during the winter months.

The Swedish National Food Agency recommends 10 µg (400 IU) per day for adults, but many experts recommend higher doses, especially in Nordic countries with limited sunlight.

You can always check your levels with a lab test. We recommend consulting your doctor if you are unsure about your individual dose.

When should I take vitamin D3+K2?

Take 1 capsule daily with a meal, preferably in the morning. Since the vitamins are fat-soluble, they are better absorbed when taken with food containing fat.

Can I take too much vitamin D?

Yes, it is possible to get too much vitamin D at very high doses over a long period of time. The upper safe limit (UL) for adults is 100 µg (4000 IU) per day according to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). Our dose of 50 µg (2000 IU) per day is well below this limit and is considered safe for long-term use. Overdose is uncommon with normal use of dietary supplements. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

How do I know if I have a vitamin D deficiency?

Vitamin D deficiency is common in Sweden, especially during the winter months. Symptoms can include fatigue, depression, muscle weakness and increased susceptibility to infections. The only way to ensure your vitamin D status is through a blood test for 25-OH vitamin D.

Can children take this product?

The product is intended for adults. For children, we recommend that you contact a pediatrician for recommendations on the appropriate dosage and form of vitamins D and K.

Why are the capsules white and not transparent?

Vitamins D3 and K2 can degrade when exposed to light. Our white HPMC capsules protect the contents from light to maintain product quality and potency over time.

How should I store the product?

Store the product dry and out of direct sunlight. Keep the can tightly closed after each use. Keep out of reach of children. See best before date on the packaging.

What does the 1:1 ratio between D3 and K2 mean?

Our product contains 50 µg of both D3 and K2, giving a 1:1 ratio. This is a balanced dose. Our formulation provides you with enough of both vitamins to achieve the beneficial effects of approved health claims.

Can I take D3 + K2 all year round or only in winter?

In Sweden, vitamin D supplements are often recommended year-round due to our northern location and limited sunlight, especially October-March. Even during the summer months, it can be difficult to get enough vitamin D from the sun if you spend a lot of time indoors, use sunscreen, or have dark skin.

Our Multivitamin Premium provides a good base of D3 and K2 during the summer months. However, in the Nordic countries, during the period October-March, it can be good to have this extra support.

Is the product really 100% vegan?

Yes, all ingredients are vegan and the capsules are made from HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) - a plant-based cellulose. The product contains no animal ingredients.

How long does a can last?

One bottle contains 60 capsules. At the recommended dose (1 capsule daily), the bottle will last for 60 days, which is about 2 months.
