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.
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.

Since Vitamin D3 20000 IU is a high dose Vitamin D capsule, a responsible approach is necessary to avoid side effects. If you buy Vitamin D3 20000 IU, you automatically agree, that you have read and understood the following:
- Do not take more than 1 capsule EVERY 20th DAY. If you would like to take a higher dosage, consult a health physician who has experience with the therapeutic use of Vitamin D.
- If you would like to take more than 1 capsule every 20th day, have the 25(OH) Vitamin D3 blood level tested, before you start taking this. This is important to determine, if the intake of a higher dose do Vitamin D3 is necessary and to avoid side effects. Continue testing the 25(OH) Vitamin D3 blood level every 3 months.
- The higher your vitamin D level and the vitamin D3 dosage you are taking, the more often you should have the 25 (OH) vitamin D3 value tested. Your 25 (OH) Vitamin D3 blood level should not exceed 80 ng/ml. Here you can find more info about how to measure the Vitamin D3 level.
- If you take this product you alone carry the risk of any side effects, which may be connected with an elevated 25(OH) Vitamin D3 blood level. At the same time, you release VitaminExpress from any responsibility.
- Store the Vitamin D3 20000 IU outside the reach of children. You take full responsibility if a child should come to harm.
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.
