Let’s talk about the potential benefits of taking vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 at the same time.
Vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 work closely together. Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of calcium in the small intestines. Vitamin K2 takes calcium from the blood and transports it to the bones and teeth. It also activates a protein that keeps calcium out of the arteries, joints, and other areas of the body where it shouldn’t be.
Vitamin K2 has many additional potential benefits, from supporting healthy blood sugar levels to improving wrinkles.
Animal fats are a great source of the MK4 version of vitamin K2. A different form of vitamin K2, called MK7, comes from bacteria in foods like cheese and fermented foods. People who cut fatty foods from their diet are at risk for a vitamin K2 deficiency.
Foods high in vitamin K2:
• Grass-fed butter and ghee
• Hard and soft cheeses
• Egg yolks
• Goose liver, chicken liver, and beef liver
• Hot dogs
• Salmon
If someone chooses to take a vitamin K2 supplement, they may want to consider the MK7 version. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3, I suggest taking 100 MCG of vitamin K2.

Exactly the questions I had around D3 and K2, thank you sir.

I’m so glad you did this video! I started the combination this year as a friend and I who both watch you, suggested. I wasn’t as grounded on why until now. Its so great to understand the WHY?
I already posted a comment but will guarantee you D3 K2 has made a tremendous difference in my dental health so I know it has also made my bones stronger but that I cannot tell. I take 10,000 IU D3 with 180 micrograms K2 and on year 3 of it.
Something to look out for – A symptom of too much vitamin D in your blood is conspitation.
I am 1 year post cancer treatment. One of the supplements I was recommended to take is D3 (1000 IU). I asked if I should take De & K2. The answer was “no”. Having found you, I have increased my D3, NOW I have ordered D3&K2!!! Thank you for science to the answers.
What kind of cancer? And who said no?
Same here. I asked my oncologist about k-2 and she just shrugged it off and said D was more important. I started taking the combo anyway because everything I had heard and read said it was a better way.
I don’t know what you mean exactly but you should listen to your personal doctor
It’s crazy because I was just researching vitamin K2 because my doctor recommended me taking K2 along with vitamin D3 because as a 40 year old male, I was diagnosed with osteopenia after my Dexa Bone Density scan was done.
Very abnormal for a guy my age to even have mild bone loss, it’s mostly a woman’s issue especially older woman, and very old men. The reason why I believe I have some miles bone loss is because I believe I have Hyperparathyoridsim.
My serum calcium levels have always been high, actually they are too elevated which is not normal. So even though I have very high calcium levels in my blood, like 10.5 and sometimes higher, I have bone loss. The only explanation for the high calcium is that one of my parathyroid glands has a tumor which is causing my body to suck excess amounts of calcium from my bones even though my PTH levels are normal.
So for now before doing more testing on my parathyroid glands, and to help remove that excess calcium from my blood, and put it back into my bones where it belongs, is to start taking K2 on a daily basis.
I have dealt with chronic fatigue for years and slow memory processing, brain fog, lack of energy, and I believe it all has to do with the elevated calcium levels in my blood which can cause brain and nerve connection problems.
In many ways vitamin K2 should be way more popular and talked about when it comes to cardiovascular health from cardiologist. If one has high blood pressure, some plaquing of the arteries already, cardiologist should start telling their patients to get on a vitamin K2 supplement ASAP, and not a stupid statin. K2 will help remove the plaque buildup in the arteries, unlike a statin or any other type of drug that doesn’t do a damn thing to actually fix or cure the problem.
I am hoping after a few months of taking K2 and D3 together, that my serum calcium will go down into the 9’s where it should be, not in the 10’s especially the mid 10’s. Hopefully my energy levels, and cognitive function will improve even if I might possibly have a parathyroid tumor.
you may also need Mg .. I started Mg glycinate awhile back (in addition to K2D3) .. Mg needed for multitudes of functions including assisting D3K2 to move calcium from soft tissue to bones and teeth ..
I so hope you get improvement and that you DON’T have a tumor.
Thank you Dr Berg for another amazing knowledgeable video. I learned something new today. I feel better and better after following your guidance. May God protect you and your family.
Regarding teeth and braces, IMHO part of the problem is children today do not eat food that requires chewing, they eat pap from birth to the day their rotten teeth are surgically removed. Over crowded jaws also occur in Japan where food is served without needing a knife to cut it at the table. 🦷🦷🦷
Just double-checked the D & K2/MK7 ratio on my supplement… all good here 🙂
Thank you for explaining MK4 vs MK7, didn’t understand that before.
I started taking Vitamin D3 daily after watching your videos and the difference in my mood and energy are really noticeable. I’ve been taking 6000 IU, but haven’t felt the need to increase.
Don’t listen to the governments RDA on anything. Take 10,000 IU and don’t look back. There have been people on 40,000 IU per day for years with no ill effects but I would not take that much myself. I think the RDA was something like 600 IU’s.
If you want know that you’re actually getting enough you should get your d3 blood levels tested twice a year. Once in summer when it should be at its highest and once in winter when it should be lowest.
I love these vitamin series which is professional and precise. Thank you Dr. Berg !
Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!
Loving the return of your whiteboard presentations, Dr Berg. 🙏
I’m in the dark skies uk and everyone around me, plus my fav people on utube are all ill just now. My family and I are the only people I know who are currently well… we implement Dr Berg’s advice. Vit D & K keep my shields strong and my system happy.
Thank you Dr Berg 🙏🏻
By taking your K2 and D3 with animal fat at bedtime, along with your magnesium glycinate, as someone who suffered from chronic insomnia for over 16 years, I’ve been sleeping so much better! I’m actually able to fall asleep without having to wait until I’m nearly delirious with exhaustion, on top of that I’ve been able to roll over and fall back asleep. Something that was impossible for me!
I had a gastric bypass 10 years ago and that didn’t help the sleep situation at all! I suffer from malabsorbtion.
I’ve waited for this for a long time. Thanks. And now please one more with D3, K2 AND magnesium, because this is the synergistic cycle 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for all that you do Dr. Berg you have changed my life for the better I’m on 5000iu D3 and 100mcg K2 my blood pressure recently was at 138/92 should I increase D3/K2?
