“Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is produced when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in sunlight.
Vitamin D3 is an essential vitamin that regulates a wide range of physiological processes and is crucial for calcium balance, skeletal health, and immune system function. In addition, vitamin D supports neurological and cognitive health, and maintaining optimal vitamin D levels is associated with a lower risk of autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, and age-related bone issues such as osteoporosis.
Vitamin D deficiency is widespread, and most people don’t get enough sun exposure to maintain healthy vitamin D status, leaving more than half of the population at risk of deficiency. Additionally, some people have health conditions that make it difficult for them to absorb vitamin D, such as Crohn’s disease (that's me).
Combining vitamin D3 and K2 is crucial for bone and cardiovascular health.
Vitamin D influences calcium levels by stimulating the intestinal absorption of dietary and supplemental calcium. While calcium is critical for bone growth and the maintenance of bone mass, elevated levels of calcium levels increase the risk of calcium deposition in soft tissues such as arteries or joints. Vitamin K2 redirects calcium from the blood into the bones, which promotes balanced blood calcium levels and plays a vital role in lowering the risk of soft tissue calcification.
Taking vitamin D3 without vitamin K2 can lead to elevated levels of circulating calcium, which increases the risk of calcium accumulation in the walls of blood vessels.
Vascular calcification can lead to arterial plaque formation, a primary risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and stroke.
I ordered these Vegavero Vitamin D3 7000 IU + 200 µg Vitamin K2 - 1 Year Supply to help build up my bones. My last bone scan showed I have Osteopenia and blood tests revealed I am deficient in Vitamin D (again). I take one capsule in the morning with my breakfast and the capsules are easy to swallow and tasteless.
Turning 60 was a wake up call to get moving and to take the proper supplements. I’m exercising and working toward a positive bone scan in the new year.
This is a great product that gives me exactly what I need. It's too early to determine whether it's effective… it takes a few weeks or even months. But this winter ought to be a splendid test-ground.”
“Oft bin ich im Winter etwas antriebslos und schneller müde und habe festgestellt das mir Vitamin D sehr gut tut in der Zeit.
Die Einnahme ist hier wirklich leicht da man nur eine Kapsel pro Woche einnehmen muss.
Die Kapseln sind nicht zu dick und lassen sich leicht schlucken. Außerdem sind sie vor der Sonne geschützt aufbewahrt.
Mir tut es gut im Winter und ich fühle mich einfach viel wohler. Daher muss jeder das für sich selbst ausprobieren.
Ich hoffe ich konnte mit meiner Rezension behilflich sein.”
“Gutes Produkt, bitte clever dosieren, denn die Aussage, dass 'nur eine Kapsel pro Woche' notwendig ist, ist wenig überzeugend. Vitamin D3 sollte viel höher dosiert werden, um tatsächlich gesundheitliche Effekte zu erzielen. Zudem existiert es keine wirkliche Gefahr einer Vitamin D3-Toxizität, was die angedeutete Sorge vor einer Überdosierung relativiert.”
“My partner and I have been taking this for just under a fortnight, Although I didn't feel a noticeable change, my partner said she feels more energetic.
The capsules are easy to swallow and have a very mild aroma of rice husks.
If you are considering taking this supplement, here is what it does:
vitamin D3 helps absorb more calcium and vitamin K2 helps transport it to your bones and teeth rather than letting it sit in arteries and other soft tissues in the body.
Like all supplements, not everybody experience the exact results, so use your discretion and if you are taking prescription medicines, it's always a good idea to consult with the GP.”
“Es un suplemento muy práctico si buscas añadir vitamina D en tu dieta con un extra de vitamina K2 para tu salud ósea y/o cardiovascular. Interesante especialmente en gente mayor, mujeres o personas con problemas para la absorción y fijación del calcio.
La dosis es muy cómoda ya que solo necesitas una pastilla a la semana, por lo que es fácil fijar un día en el calendario en vez de estar todos los días pendiente de tomar la pastilla. No me ha generado ninguna molestia digestiva tomándolo junto con comida, algo importante para su correcta absorción.
Por sacarle algún pero, las cápsulas son bastante grandes en comparación con otros formatos del mercado que vienen en comprimidos, grageas o cápsulas blandas. Para personas a las que les cueste tragar pastillas grandes quizá les vendría bien otra opción. Si esto no es un problema entonces perfecto.”
“Für alle, die tägliche Tabletten immer wieder vergessen, ist die Einnahme einmal pro Woche super praktisch. Dennoch sollte man Nahrungsergänzungsmittel generell nur nehmen, wenn man sie braucht. Also unbedingt zuvor abklären.”
