How much Vitamin D do you need?

Vitamin D and vitamin K2 should always be combined

People who take Vitamin D3 in high dosage as a nutritional supplement, have also a higher demand for Vitamin K2. The reason is that Vitamin D is increasing the uptake of calcium into the body. At the same time, the body increasingly produces Gla proteins, which have the task of transporting calcium in the body.

But only Vitamin K2 can activate the Gla-Proteins. After activation, the calcium binds to the protein and is transported to the places in the body where it belongs, which are the bones and the teeth.

At the same time, Vitamin K2 prevents the calcium from being deposited in the arteries and the soft tissues of the body. This means, Vitamin K2 prevents us from arteriosclerosis and protects the heart and arteries. Furthermore, it works closely with Vitamin D to strengthen the bones and teeth.

Therefore, we recommend taking 200mcg vitamin K2 daily in addition to vitamin D3, e.g. our product vitamin K2 200 mcg.

Experts suggest the daily intake of Vitamin D and Vitamin K2

For long term use the daily intake of 5000 IU Vitamin D in combination with 200 mcg Vitamin K2 is ideal, to keep Vitamin D as well as Vitamin K2 at a healthy level. Therefore, most of our customers use the product Vitamin D3 5000 plus K2 200mcg.

Possible side effects if your Vitamin D3 blood level is too high

If you suspect a Vitamin D overdose, do not continue taking Vitamin D and have your 25 (OH) vitamin D3 blood level tested as soon as possible. This way you know for certain whether the symptoms were really caused by an excessive intake of vitamin D.

If you take a very high Vitamin D dosage over a longer period of time, you may experience hypercalcemia. Symptoms can be heart cardiac arrhythmia, nausea, vomiting, thirst, loss of appetite, and more.

Side effects are usually only connected with a 25 (OH) Vitamin D3 value of more than 150 ng/ml. People in southern countries, who spend a lot of time in the sun, often have values of 100 ng/ml or more, but don't show any signs of vitamin D intoxication.
