Lamberts Vitamins D3 & K2 90 Capsules are a vegetarian food supplement that combines 2000iu (50µg) of vitamin D3 with 90µg of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7) in each capsule. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function and the normal function of the immune system, and vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting. It is taken as 1 capsule a day, so one pack lasts 90 days.

What is the difference between the 2000iu and 1000iu Lamberts Vitamins D3 and K2 capsules?

The 90 capsule pack described here provides 2000iu (50µg) of vitamin D3 and 90µg of vitamin K2 per capsule. The 60 capsule Lamberts Vitamins D3 and K2 pack provides 1000iu (25µg) of vitamin D3 with the same 90µg of vitamin K2 per capsule, and is taken as 1 to 2 capsules daily.

Who should consider taking a vitamin D supplement?

The NHS advises that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10µg of vitamin D during autumn and winter, when the sun is not strong enough for the body to make it. People at higher risk of not getting enough, such as those who are not often outdoors or who have dark skin, should consider taking it all year round. Each capsule here contains 50µg of vitamin D.

Can I take these capsules if I use blood thinners?

No, unless a doctor has advised it. The capsules contain vitamin K, and the label says that anyone taking anti-coagulants (blood thinners) should not take them except on the advice of a doctor.

Typical values per capsule:

Ingredients: Sunflower seed oil, capsule shell (gelling agents: glycerol, modified starch and carrageenan, colour: iron oxide), vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7 (MK-7)), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
