What 500,000+ customers say about medino:
Description
Lamberts Vitamins D3 1000iu & K2 90µg Capsules are a vegetarian food supplement that combines 1000iu (25µg) of vitamin D3 with 90µg of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7) in each capsule. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function and the normal function of the immune system, and vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting. Having both vitamins in one capsule means a single supplement covers both nutrients.
Key Features
- 1000iu (25µg) vitamin D3 per capsule: This is 500% of the NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) for vitamin D, in the D3 form (cholecalciferol).
- 90µg vitamin K2 (MK-7) per capsule: This is 120% of the NRV for vitamin K. The K2 is in the menaquinone-7 (MK-7) form.
- Vitamins D3 and K2 in one capsule: Each capsule provides both vitamins, in a sunflower seed oil base.
- Suitable for vegetarians: The capsule shell is made from glycerol, modified starch and carrageenan, and the label carries a suitable for vegetarians mark.
- Adult dose of 1 to 2 capsules a day: The capsules are taken with a meal, so a 60 capsule pack lasts 30 to 60 days.
What is the difference between the 1000iu and 2000iu Lamberts Vitamins D3 and K2 capsules?
The 60 capsule pack described here provides 1000iu (25µg) of vitamin D3 and 90µg of vitamin K2 per capsule. The 90 capsule Lamberts Vitamins D3 and K2 pack provides 2000iu (50µg) of vitamin D3 with the same 90µg of vitamin K2 per capsule.
Who should consider taking a vitamin D supplement?
The NHS advises that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10µg of vitamin D during autumn and winter, when the sun is not strong enough for the body to make it. People at higher risk of not getting enough, such as those who are not often outdoors or who have dark skin, should consider taking it all year round.
Can I take these capsules if I use blood thinners?
No, unless a doctor has advised it. The capsules contain vitamin K, and the label says that anyone taking anti-coagulants (blood thinners) should not take them except on the advice of a doctor.
