BodyHealth D3 + MK7 with PerfectAmino, 5,000 IU, 60 Softgels

BodyHealth D3 + MK7 is a once-a-day softgel that combines vitamin D3 with two forms of vitamin K. Each softgel holds 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D3, 20 mcg of vitamin K1 and 80 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7, plus 25 mg of BodyHealth's PerfectAmino essential amino acid blend. The bottle holds 60 softgels, which is a two-month supply at one a day.

What's in BodyHealth D3 + MK7?

Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D the skin makes in sunlight, and it's the form most supplements use. Vitamin K comes in two main families. K1 (phytonadione) is the form found in leafy green vegetables. K2 is a group of compounds called menaquinones, and MK-7 is a longer-chain form found in fermented foods such as natto. This formula puts K1 and MK-7 together, so you get both families in one softgel.

The softgel itself is gelatin, glycerin and water, with olive oil as the base, plus beeswax and sunflower lecithin. Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble, which is why they come suspended in oil. The 25 mg of PerfectAmino is the same essential amino acid and nucleic acid blend BodyHealth uses across its range, here in a small amount.

Why D3 and K2 come together

Vitamin D and vitamin K are often sold as a pair because both are fat-soluble vitamins involved in how the body uses calcium. Taking them in one softgel means one product instead of two. MK-7 is the form of K2 used in most combination products, and BodyHealth adds K1 as well.

Reading the label

Vitamin D is listed two ways: 125 mcg and 5,000 IU are the same amount, because 1 mcg of vitamin D equals 40 IU. The label shows that as 625% of the US Daily Value, while K1 is 17% and K2 has no Daily Value set. The PerfectAmino blend has no Daily Value either. If you already take a multivitamin, check its label for vitamins D and K before adding this softgel, since many multis include both.

Who it suits

D3 + MK7 suits adults who want vitamin D and vitamin K in a single daily softgel, taken with or without food. The label lists it as non-GMO, free of gluten and dairy, and paleo- and keto-friendly. It isn't suitable for vegans or vegetarians, because the softgel is made from gelatin and the formula contains beeswax.

Two things to check first. This is a high-strength product at 5,000 IU of vitamin D per softgel, so count any other vitamin D you take, including a multivitamin. Vitamin K also changes how warfarin and some other blood thinners work, so if you take one, speak with your doctor before you start.
