€0.38 per day for vegan D3+K2 in a softgel is fair, though cheaper capsule options exist.

Product Description

Sports Research combines vegan vitamin D3 from lichen (5000 IU) with vitamin K2 as MK-7 (100 µg) in a coconut oil softgel. The oil base is ideal for fat-soluble vitamins, enabling absorption without an additional fat source.

What We Like

  • 5000 IU D3 — higher dose than many combination products, good for correcting deficiency
  • 100 µg K2 as MK-7 — clinically relevant amount
  • Vegan D3 from lichen
  • Coconut oil carrier maximizes absorption
  • Plant-based softgel shell

What We’re Missing

  • 5000 IU may be too high for daily long-term use without a blood test
  • 60 softgels = 2-month supply, relatively small pack
  • Not specified as all-trans MK-7

Usage Recommendation

1 softgel daily with a meal. For continuous supplementation above 4000 IU, have 25-OH vitamin D checked regularly.

Ingredient dossier

Low vitamin D levels are common in northern climates. Supplementation is comparatively well studied in deficiency; K2 is often combined but has weaker standalone evidence.
