Why do we need the combination of Vitamin D3 and K2?

Vitamin D is essential for maintaining bones and teeth, muscle function, the immune system and normal cell division. It works closely with Vitamin K: Vitamin D3 stimulates the formation of osteocalcin, which is activated by Vitamin K2 to efficiently store calcium in the bones.

Vitamin K2 is hardly absorbed in the diet. Dr. Jacob’s Vitamin D3K2 Oil contains long-chain Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) with high bioavailability and stability. It stays in the body for up to three days, about 50 times longer than Vitamin K1.

Only 12% have good Vitamin D3 levels, and in winter it is less than 5%

Diet contributes little to Vitamin D supply; UVB sunlight is crucial for endogenous synthesis in the skin. Deficiency is particularly common in winter, but even in summer, factors such as sunscreen or a dark skin type can inhibit Vitamin D synthesis. Studies show that endogenous production is often insufficient even in summer:

• Only 12% of the German population reach the Vitamin D level of over 75 nmol/l recommended by leading scientists on an annual average, and even less than 5% in winter.
• Only 38% of Germans reach the lower limit of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) of at least 50 nmol/l all year round.

Experts also disagree on the correct intake recommendations. In fact, this depends on many factors: initial value, age, weight, sun exposure, skin color, etc. The DGE recommends a serum value of at least 50 nmol/l and 800 IU (20 µg) Vitamin D daily (from the 2nd year of life, if there is no endogenous synthesis).

The renowned American Geriatrics Society recommends that all people over 70 years of age take 4000 IU (100 μg) of Vitamin D daily (from all sources) to maintain a good serum level of at least 75 nmol/l. This corresponds to the daily intake for people aged 11 and over that has been defined as safe (tolerable) by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Who should pay particular attention to their Vitamin D levels?

• Everyone in months with low UV radiation (October to March)
• People who spend most of their time indoors or cover their skin
• Users of sunscreens (SPF 10 reduces Vitamin D production by 90%)
• People with dark skin types
• Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, babies and toddlers
• Women in/after menopause
• Overweight people
• Seniors

A Vitamin D blood test provides clarity (at the doctor’s, in the pharmacy or online).

Vitamin D3K2 drops – for bones and immune system*

*The vitamins contained in Dr. Jacob’s Vitamin D3K2 Oil contribute to the following normal body functions:

• Maintenance of bones – Vitamin D and K
• Maintenance of teeth – Vitamin D
• Maintenance of muscle function – Vitamin D
• Immune system – Vitamin D
• Normal cell division – Vitamin D
• Normal absorption and utilization of calcium – Vitamin D
• Normal blood clotting – Vitamin K
• Reduction of the risk of falling** – Vitamin D

**In women and men aged 60 and over, falls are a risk factor for bone fractures. This increased risk of falling in old age may be related to Vitamin D supply. The daily intake of 800 IU (20 µg) Vitamin D (from all sources) leads to a reduction in the risk of falling in people aged 60 and over, which is related to muscle weakness and physical instability.

Proven quality at a fair price

As early as 2015, Dr. Jacob’s was the first manufacturer to bring a Vitamin D3K2 oil to German pharmacies. To this day, Dr. Jacob’s Vitamin D3K2 Oil is manufactured in Germany. The vitamins used are of pharmaceutical quality and come from Europe. Regular analyses confirm the long-term stability of the vitamin content.

One bottle contains 640 servings. 1 serving corresponds to one drop with 20 μg (800 IU) D3 + 20 μg K2 (all-trans MK-7) each.

MCT oil for optimal protection and better absorption

To improve the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins D3 and K2, we use a high-quality MCT oil that is made from coconut oil in Europe. Together with the natural Vitamin E family (tocopherols), this oil protects the sensitive fat-soluble vitamins and optimizes their absorption.

Dr. Jacob’s Vitamin Oils are easy to use, ideal for people with swallowing difficulties and particularly child-friendly. They are supplied in glass bottles with glass pipettes for precise dosing.

Best interaction: the ideal partners of Vitamin D

Not only Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, but also Vitamin K2. Both work synergistically and should best be taken in combination, as in Dr. Jacob’s Vitamin D3K2 Oil, Dr. Jacob’s Vitamin D3K2 Oil forte, Dr. Jacob’s Vitamin K2D3 Oil (for increased Vitamin K2 requirements) and Dr. Jacob’s Vitamin DEKA Oil (with Vitamin A and E as natural tocopherols).

Calcium metabolism is closely related to magnesium and potassium. Calcium and magnesium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Magnesium and potassium support the normal function of nerves and muscles, and potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. According to NVS2, an undersupply of these minerals is common (4). Therefore, Vitamins D3 and K2 should best be combined with the right minerals, as in Dr. Jacob’s Base Powder.

Recommended Dosage:

For adults and children from 1 year: 1 drop daily (1 serving). (Up to 5 drops if needed) Babies under 1 year: 1 drop every other day.

1 drop contains 20 µg Vitamin K2 (as all-trans MK-7) and 20 µg Vitamin D3 (800 IU).

Attention: If you are taking Vitamin K antagonists (coumarin-type anticoagulants), you must consult your doctor before use!

Legal notice: The recommended daily intake must not be exceeded. Keep out of reach of small children. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Ingredients: MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides from coconut oil), antioxidant strong tocopherol-containing extracts (Vitamin E of natural origin), Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 (menaquinone, all-trans MK-7). Vegetarian.

As of August 13, 2024

The place of origin of all ingredients is the EU. The Vitamin D3 used is obtained by UV light irradiation of lanolin (wool wax), which comes from sheep’s wool of living animals. About 0.02 g of lanolin is used per bottle of Vitamin D3K2 Oil for Vitamin D production.
