Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble vitamins, and both have authorised nutrient-function claims when the relevant conditions of use are met. This guide explains what the two nutrients contribute to and what to check when choosing a supplement.
What does vitamin D contribute to?
Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and the maintenance of normal bones. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Claims should relate to the nutrient and be used in line with the applicable conditions of use.
What does vitamin K contribute to?
Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting. These statements describe nutrient functions; they do not mean a supplement treats or prevents a medical condition.
Why are D3 and K2 sometimes combined?
Some supplements combine vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in one product for convenience. This does not mean that everyone needs to take them together or that a combination is suitable for every person. Consider your diet, other supplements, medication and individual circumstances.
What to check on the label
- Check the amount of each vitamin per serving.
- Check the source and other ingredients for dietary requirements.
- Follow the directions and do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
- Ask a healthcare professional if you take medication, have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are unsure whether a high-dose supplement is appropriate.
