ViridianVitamin D3 & K2

Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). D2 most often comes from plant sources such as fungi, while D3 is found in animal products or from plant sources such as lichen. D3 is often chosen in supplements.

Vitamin D is found in foods such as fatty fish, eggs, and fortified products.

Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin found in fermented foods and animal products. In supplements, specific forms such as menaquinones are often used.

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is mainly found in green leafy vegetables, while vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is found in fermented foods and animal products. Both forms have different structures and origins.

MK-7 (menaquinone-7) is a specific form of vitamin K2 that is produced through fermentation, for example from natto. This form is often used in supplements due to its stable structure.

Vitamin D and vitamin K are fat-soluble vitamins. This means they are better absorbed when taken together with a meal that contains fats. Therefore, it is often recommended to take these vitamins with a meal.
