What is Reddit's opinion of Sports Research Vegan Vitamin D3 + K2 Supplement with Organic Coconut Oil - 5000iu Vitamin D with 100mcg Mk7 Vitamin K - Supports Calcium for Stronger Bones & Immune Health - 60 Softgels for Adults?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I’ve been using this brand for over a year and it works for me. Vitamin D3 + K2 with Organic Virgin Coconut Oil | Plant-Based Vegan D3 (5000iu) with MK7 Vitamin K2 (100mcg) from Chickpea | Non-GMO & Vegan Certified (60 Veggie Softgels) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07255MPRN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QEE98XD0XZAZ29YFP8BK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Buy a supplement that combines vitamin D and K For better absorption. This is the one I use. There are probably cheaper ones but this one uses coconut oil as a binder for the vitamins. Since vitamin D and K are fat soluble it probably helps with absorption.

At least take them with some food to aid absorption.

Vitamin K2 + D3 with Organic Coconut Oil - 60 Veggie Softgels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07255MPRN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nh5jFb4GQZ5CM

I recommend Bio Schwartz and Sports Research for supplements. I buy all of mine through Amazon. Thorne is also regarded as one of the best though they are pricier for this reason. Glycinate is imo the best form and the one that I personally use. Citrate is also good.

Take a look at this one for example, made from coconut oil. Higher quality source, no cheap fillers, better absorption.

Vit D3

Oh I think I need to clarify this in the original post.

For the D3, it was meant to be more than a 1000 IU, not mcgs. The B12 is more than 1000mcgs. I started by using this supplement for the D3, which has 100mcgs. Normal D3 supplements usually have between 5 and 25mcgs.

I will edit my post!

I recommend this supplement has k2 in it all ready buy some good magnesium I used taurate I went from deficient 12 to 38 in less than 3 months and I did not take the pills every day prolly like 2 or 3 x a week I want to reach levels of 80 plus so I will prolly continue to take it twice a week and get more sun in the summer where I live is no sun until summer

Literally went from deficient level of 12 > 38 using a plant based d3 +k2 supplement all in one capsule it has coconut oil in it all ready so no need to worry about eating fats with it in 3 months I got my level up and honestly I did not use it every single day

Take a vitamin D3+K2 supplement daily. I recommend this one. Start with 2x / day in the morning until your levels are normal, and then go down to 1x / day to maintain healthy levels.

I highly recommend these! This brand’s D3 supplement moved my levels from below where they should be, to the heathy range within a few weeks.

Hmm, are you sure it's so expensive? What about this? https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Organic-Absorption-Certified-Softgels/dp/B07255MPRN/ref=sr\_1\_9?crid=2JAT2FND95UOO&keywords=vegan+vitamin+d3&qid=1646953902&sprefix=vegan+vitamin+d3%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-9

I use this one by Sports Research. It's great. I saw an improvement in my lab tests.

Hi,

I have some nutrition questions :)

1) If I'm taking this amount of D3 + K2, is ~300Mg of Magnesium enough? That's the amount I get from my food, wondering if I need to supplement it.

2) Should I take D2 alongside the stuff mentioned above or is it pointless?

I do the 5,000IU on a daily basis but if it's been dark and rainy where I can't get outside to make my own Vit D, then I'll take another one for 10,000IU total. Get a D3+K2 formula something like this because they say you process the D3 better with some vitamin K.

LOL, I had that many in my freezer back in the summer so I feel you.

Hello Everyone,
I'm on 137MCG T4 and 5 MG of T3. I just got my bloodwork. Can anyone review my blood work below?
1) Looks like I'm deficient in Iron, and my CBC Panel is always normal. So am I Iron deficient without anemia?
2) What is the best way to get iron levels up. I have listed these foods- Spinach, beef liver, vitamin C, ferrous fumarate, Blackstrap molasses, liquid iron. Any other suggestions?
3) Also do I need to go for Iron IV the first time and then use the Iron supplement regularly?
4) For Vitamin D3 deficiency, I'm planning to use Vitamin D3 + K2 + Organic Virgin Coconut Oil Supplement (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07255MPRN/ref=ox\_sc\_act\_image\_1?smid=AQAIDN8YDF665&psc=1). Any other suggestions on dosage and brand?
5) I'm sure my doctor will reduce my T4+T3 dosage as I went hyperthyroid.
My issues are with low libido, less appetite, low energy after lunch ( 3PM - 6PM), Resting heart rate Higher (sometimes), High BP ( Sometimes)

Do you live in Ohio? If so, you need more than "take more sun". 5000 IU would be a good daily dose based on modern research considering absorption and your location. When I lived in WA that would still only get me to "normal". Use what you got but this is a trusted product to me. They throw in a bit of fat but that is needed, vitamin D is fat soluble.

I was already taking 5000 IU because vegans can be low in D3. When the functional Dr mentioned it, I told her I was already supplementing. She said to temporarily increase to 10000 IU. I did this for a little over 2 weeks and started seeing results. I am now back to 5000 IU as it is also not good to have too high levels.

If possible its probably best to get lab work done to see if you are actually on the low end. May not be a good idea to take something you don't need. Note that 10000 IU is a high dose and you should probably start lower.

This is the one I take:

It's also a good idea to take D3 with fat as it is fat soluble. I usually add avocado or olive oil to my food when I take this.

These are my jam: https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Organic-Absorption-Certified-Softgels/dp/B07255MPRN

I usually just get a combo. This is the one I take:

https://www.amazon.com/Sports-Research-Plant-Based-Verified-Certified/dp/B07255MPRN

I use these: Sports Research Vegan Vitamin D3 + K2

Using them successfully “cured” my extremely low Vitamin D levels. My doctor had recommended a mega-D3 tablet that was not vegan, but I used these instead.

However - the key to my success I believe was taking a high enough dose. I used the calculator on this page to figure out the dose I needed: Vitamin D Calculator

Just because you take a multivitamin doesn't mean you aren't deficient. Unless you're horking down 6+ of them a day, they almost certainly don't give you enough magnesium, a mineral in which the majority of people in westernized countries are deficient. Your multi probably doesn't give you 5,000 IU / day of Vitamin D, the other nutrient in which most people are deficient.

Take 2x of these Vit D3 + K2 per day, in the morning, for 2 weeks, then reduce to 1x / day. Also take 2x of these magnesium glycinate every day at night, plus another 1x anytime you have an extra strong urge to take a daytime nap. Also check that your multivitamin is a good source of iron. If not, and if you also don't eat much red meat, throw in 1x iron bisglycinate per day in the morning.

Thats really interesting, what dose of K2 were you taking, and what kind of Magnesium?

Im thinking of taking two of these a day: https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Organic-Absorption-Certified-Softgels/dp/B07255MPRN

That’s what I take seems to do the job.

I like this one for D3. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07255MPRN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6mS0DbVDATX1S

I supplement D3 w/ these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07255MPRN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This one looks good: https://www.amazon.com/absorption-Certified-Verified-supplement-Vitashine/dp/B07255MPRN/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 what do you think?

I'm thinking should I go for 5000ui nordic naturals or this one Vitamin K2 + D3 with Organic Coconut Oil for better absorption | 2-in-1 Support for your Heart, Bones & Teeth | Vegan Certified, GMO & Gluten Free ~ 60 Veggie Gels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07255MPRN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7htjCbN5XJ5KY ?
