NOTE

D3 5k IUs + K2

Functional medicine physicians recommend a minimum of 5,000 IU's of vitamin D3, preferably with 120 micrograms of K2. The version of K2 called MK7 is considered the most bioavailable. Taking D3 with K2 helps in the deposition of calcium into the bones and not into the arterial wall. It's essential to ensure that the D3 supplement contains a minimum of 5,000 IU's and 120 to 140 micrograms of K2. Additionally, it's recommended to check vitamin D3 levels through blood work, aiming for 30 to 100 nanograms per deciliter, with 60 to 80 being the optimal range. A 5,000 IU supplement should help achieve levels within the optimal range.
