Pure Encapsulations Vitamin K with D3 60 Capsules is a food supplement that provides vitamin D3 and three forms of vitamin K in one vegetarian capsule. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal blood clotting, and vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal blood calcium levels, so a single daily capsule covers both vitamins.

Key Features

1545 µg of vitamin K in total: This is the combined amount from all three forms in each capsule.
1000 IU (25 µg) of vitamin D3: The vitamin D comes as cholecalciferol, at 500% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV).
One capsule a day: The directions are 1 capsule daily with a meal, and the 60 capsule pack lasts 60 days.
Hypoallergenic plant fibre and a vegetarian capsule: The formula uses microcrystalline cellulose in a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsule, and is stated as dairy free, gluten free and soy free.
