Product Information
Unived D3+K2-7 is formulated to offer you plant-based Vitamin D3 and K2-7, in a single dose capsule. It is formulated with Vitamin D3 sourced from lichen, a plant-based source of Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K2-7 as Menaquinone-7 from fermented chickpeas.
Unived D3+K2-7 offers the benefits of Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2-7 together as they both work synergistically towards maintaining calcium homeostasis and building bone strength and supporting cardiovascular health.
Unived D3+K2-7 is ideal for people who have poor bone health and who are at increased risk of arterial or vascular calcification due to improper calcium homeostasis and also who are deficient in either of these two vitamins.
As you know, due to FSSAI regulations, we are required to reformulate to ensure that all our products do not exceed the RDA set by ICMR in India.
As a result, we have had to make changes to some of our products, and to compensate for the reduction of strength, we have increased the number of servings per bottle.
The RDA for Vitamin D3 is 600 IU per day, and for K2-7 it is 55mcg per day. Hence, we can only offer Vitamin D3 and K2-7 as 600 IU and 55mcg, per serving.

- FAQs
Vitamins D3 and K2 are both fat-soluble vitamins and play a central role in calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 helps in the effective absorption of calcium and Vitamin K2-7 directs the absorbed calcium to bones. Without Vitamin D3, calcium will be excreted via the kidney and without Vitamin K2-7, calcium won’t be deposited in the bones.
When there is vitamin D3 without enough vitamin K, the calcium might not transfer to the bones properly and instead end up in the vascular tissue or arteries. This is because vitamin K is required to activate proteins that concentrate calcium in bones, such as matrix GLA and osteocalcin. Vitamin D3 promotes the production of vitamin K-dependent proteins, which require vitamin K for carboxylation in order to function properly [1]. Thus, the co-supplementation of D3 with vitamin K2 may minimize this calcification risk and better calcium utilization as they both complement each other.

Mode of Action:
- Genetic, molecular, cellular, and human evidence support that optimal concentrations of both vitamin D and vitamin K are beneficial for bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin K is needed for the carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent proteins such as osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein, while vitamin D promotes the production of vitamin K-dependent protein concentrations. These vitamin K-dependent proteins are needed for the bone and the vascular system. This will result in bone mineralization and will inhibit soft tissue calcification, which will ultimately lead to lower risks of fractures and coronary heart disease [1].
- Vitamin D3 also modulates innate and adaptive immune responses thereby promoting immune health.

What is the suggested use of Unived D3+ K2-7?
Adults take 1 capsule per day, post breakfast.
Is Unived D3+K2-7 safe?
Both vitamins have a strong safety profile even at high dosages. If you’re taking any medications, check with your doctor about your vitamin K intake, however. The K2-7 (MenaquinGold®) in the formulation is safe to have both long and short term and it’s been extensively studied.
Can too much Vitamin K2 cause blood clots?
Abnormal clotting is not related to excessive vitamin K intake, and there is no known toxicity associated with vitamin K1 or vitamin K2. Some oral anticoagulants, such as warfarin inhibit coagulation by antagonizing the action of vitamin K.
Does Vitamin D3 + K2-7 interact with any other drugs?
If you are currently on antibiotics, blood thinners like warfarin, coumadin, or anticonvulsants consult your healthcare practitioner before taking the supplement as these drugs may interact with Vitamin K2-7 in the formulation.
Can I take Unived Vegan Vitamin D3 supplement and Vitamin K2-7 separately?
Yes, you can. But Unived D3 + K2-7 is more convenient and saves more time by offering the benefits of both supplements in a single capsule than when taken separately.
