Quick reference for LiveGood Organic D3-K2 2000. The full review covers the complete label and the evidence in depth.
How do I take it? #
Take 1 to 2 capsules a day with food, ideally a morning meal with a little fat, since both vitamins are fat-soluble. Each bottle holds 60 capsules: two months at one a day, or one month at two.
What is in it? #
Each capsule has 50 mcg (2,000 IU) of organic vitamin D3 from organic fermented culture media and 90 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7. The capsule is organic pullulan with organic rice hulls. Badges show USDA Organic, vegan, non-GMO and gluten free.
One capsule or two? #
Start with one. Two capsules is 4,000 IU, the adult upper limit, so only stay at two if a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test shows you need it. Ask your doctor to add the test at your next checkup, then retest after a couple of months.
Why is K2 included? #
D3 raises calcium absorption, and K2 activates the proteins that help direct calcium into bone. LiveGood’s multivitamins have no vitamin D or K, so this is the usual add-on to the women’s or men’s multi.
Who should check with a doctor first? #
If you take a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin), do not start this without your doctor. Vitamin K directly changes how warfarin works, and even a steady daily dose may mean your dose or INR checks need adjusting. Also ask first if you have kidney disease, high calcium levels, or a condition such as sarcoidosis, or are pregnant or nursing.
How long until I notice anything? #
If your vitamin D level was low, raising it takes weeks to a few months. Some people notice steadier energy or mood; people with normal levels may notice nothing, which is why a blood test is the best way to judge. Results vary.
What if it does not work for me? #
