Vitamin D and Vitamin K Combination

Vitamin D and vitamin K are vitamins your body needs and your body does not make them on its own.  Vitamin D is beneficial for bone health and mood, while vitamin K is beneficial for bone health and regulating blood clotting.  When ts are combined, they can improve the effects of the other.  It is also important to take these supplements because food is lacking.  Insufficient vitamin D and/or K intake may also impair muscle nerve functioning and increase your risk of muscle cramps during your workout.  

The combination of vitamins D and K is a solid recommendation for someone cautious of supplementation due to the following reasons:
  • At least for older individuals, this combination (alongside adequate dietary and magnesium levels) is widely recommended by medical professionals.
  • There are numerous studies spanning multiple years using higher than the recommended doses showing no negative side effects.
  • There are no significant psychoactive effects, although an elevation of mood from vitamin D is possible in people who are deficient in it.
  • They are both relatively cheap and easy to find.
