Frequentlyasked questions
What does Vitamin D3 do?
Vitamin D is important for great overall health. It’s also an important factor in making sure your muscles, heart, lungs and brain work well and that your body can fight infection.
How does Vitamin D3 work?
When your skin is exposed to the sun, it produces vitamin D and sends it to your liver. If you take supplements contain vitamin D, your gut also sends the vitamin D to your liver. From here, your liver changes it to a substance called 25(OH)D. When your doctor talks about your vitamin D levels, he means the amount of 25(OH)D you have in your blood.*
This chemical is sent all over your body where different tissues, including your kidney, turn it into activated vitamin D. This activated vitamin D is now ready to perform its duties. From here, it gets a little complicated, but you can think of activated vitamin D working in two ways:
- Manages calcium in your blood, bones and gut.*
- Helps cells all over your body to communicate properly.*
As you can see, vitamin D goes a long way and without vitamin D, your body can’t perform at its best.*
Am I Vitamin D deficient?
If your body doesn’t get enough vitamin D to keep it healthy, this is called vitamin D deficiency. Severe vitamin D deficiency can sometimes cause cause soft, thin, and brittle bones. A long-term lack of vitamin D has also been linked to conditions such as cancer, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, Alzheimer’s, and autoimmune diseases.*
The best way to know is to get your vitamin D blood levels. There’s home kits you can order for as low as $25.
What are the symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency?
There are many since Vitamin D3 is very important to the human body but here are some common symptoms:
- Fatigue
- Muscle pain or weakness
- Joint pain
- Weight gain
- High blood pressure
- Restless sleep
- Poor concentration
- Headaches
- Bladder problems
- Constipation or diarrhea
What factors might contribute to a deficiency of vitamin D?
Insufficient sun exposure
It is especially important for individuals with limited sun exposure to take a vitamin D3 supplement daily. Homebound individuals, people living in northern latitudes, individuals who wear clothing that completely covers the body, and individuals who always use sunscreen or work in occupations that prevent exposure to sunlight are at significant risk for vitamin D deficiency.*
What Is Vitamin K?
Vitamin K was discovered in 1929 as an essential nutrient for blood coagulation (blood clotting). The initial discovery was reported in a German scientific journal, where it was called “Koagulationsvitamin” — which is where the "K" comes from.
It was also discovered by the dentist Weston Price, who travelled the world in the early 20th century studying the relationship between diet and disease in different populations. He found that the non-industrial diets were high in some unidentified nutrient, which seemed to provide protection against tooth decay and chronic disease. He referred to this mystery nutrient as “activator X,” which is now believed to have been vitamin K2.
There are two main forms of vitamin K:
* Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone): Found in plant foods like leafy greens.
* Vitamin K2 (menaquinone): Found in animal foods and fermented foods.
Vitamin K2 can be further divided into several different subtypes, the most important ones being MK-4 and MK-7.*
How Do Vitamins K1 and K2 Work?
Vitamin K activates proteins that play a role in blood clotting, calcium metabolism and heart health.
One of its most important functions is to regulate calcium deposition. In other words, it promotes the calcification of bones and prevents the calcification of blood vessels and kidneys.
Some scientists have suggested that the roles of vitamins K1 and K2 are quite different, and many feel that they should be classified as separate nutrients altogether.
This idea is supported by an animal study showing that vitamin K2 (MK-4) reduced blood vessel calcification whereas vitamin K1 did not. Controlled studies in people also observe that vitamin K2 supplements generally improve bone and heart health, while vitamin K1 has no significant benefits.
However, more human studies are needed before the functional differences between vitamins K1 and K2 can be fully understood.*
Is it safe to take K2 with blood thinners?
You should not take Vitamin K2 if you are on blood thinning medication.
Is K2 safe for diabetics?
You should consult your doctor prior to taking Vitamin K2.

Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 is more efficient than D2. You get vitamin D from food, supplements, and sunshine. Vitamin D is important for bone and muscle strength and immune function. It may help prevent inflammatory disease, and heart disorders.
Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is a heart-healthy oil, high in oleic acid, which is an unsaturated fat and good source of monounsaturated fat. It contains vitamin E and also helps the body absorb other fat-soluble vitamins.
inside of SmarterVitaminsVitamin K2 MK-7
A key ingredient for optimal health, Vitamin K2 MK-7 K2VITAL® ensures calcium reaches the bone mass and helps reduce the risk of arterial calcification, making it an essential vitamin to support bone and cardiovascular health.*
In 2012 Kappa Bioscience launched K2VITAL® vitamin K2 as all‑trans Menaquinone‑7 (MK-7).
INTERACTIONS: As Vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.
Made with Kale Powder
Kale is a highly nutritious vegetable known for its many phytochemicals, which are anti-inflammatory. It is one of the best sources of Vitamin K, which helps regulate the body’s inflammatory process, as well as beta-carotene. It is also a great source for Vitamin C and manganese, which is important for skin health.
