The TrueK2D3 Difference
Vitamin K2 and D3 have several things in common: one, they are both fat soluble vitamins, two, we struggle to get enough of each vitamin from diet or sunlight alone and three, although each is powerful on their own, working together they can have an even stronger effect in the body.
Since supplementing with both vitamins is recommended for most people, taking a supplement with both vitamins K2 and vitamin D3 ensures you’re getting adequate amounts of each vitamin – and it’s more convenient (it’s best to take both vitamins with or after meals because they’re fat soluble).
On top of this, TrueK2D3 contains the premier source of vitamin K2 and organic plant-based vitamin D3.
Calcium is important for bone building, but it needs help. Two nutrients that support calcium are vitamin D and vitamin K2. Vitamin D helps calcium get absorbed through the intestines and helps produce a protein (called osteocalcin) which helps bind calcium to bone when activated. This is where vitamin K2 plays an important role.
To become active, osteocalcin needs vitamin K2. If adequate K2 is not available to activate osteocalcin, bone density and bone strength may suffer. Research with the MenaQ7® vitamin K2 in TrueK2D3 found that 180mcg daily helps promote bone density and bone strength. This is the amount you get daily from TrueK2D3.
Vitamin K2 and vitamin D also work together to help protect against unwanted calcium buildup in arteries and blood vessel walls.
The key to this action is a protein called Matrix Gla Protein, or MGP for short, which essentially repels calcium as it attempts to deposit in arteries and soft tissues. Instead the calcium gets redirected to places it can be useful, like bones.
Vitamin D helps create Matrix Gla Protein, but like in bone health, vitamin K2 is needed to activate this protein so it can spring into action and do its job. Research with the MenaQ7® vitamin K2 in TrueK2D3 found that 180mcg daily helps protect arteries and blood vessels from calcium buildup.
This is the amount you get daily from TrueK2D3. With the help of both vitamin D and vitamin K2, calcium ends up where it belongs - in bones and not arteries.

MenaQ7® is the only vitamin K2 scientifically studied to help promote bone strength, bone mineral density and support artery and blood vessel health by helping to direct calcium where it belongs - in your bones, not your vascular system.
Each day, TrueK2D3 gives you the same 180mcg of MenaQ7® vitamin K2 that was found to be beneficial in these research studies.
MenaQ7® contains up to 99% pure menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Also important, the MK-7 is in the bioactive trans MK-7 form, which is believed to be the longest lasting form of vitamin K2 in the bloodstream.
Most vitamin D3 comes from sheep’s wool, but VegD3® is plant-based, from organic algae making it suitable for everyone, including vegans and vegetarians. This vitamin D3 in VegD3® is identical to the vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) obtained from animal sources.
In addition to being USDA Certified Organic, VegD3® is Vegan Society Registered, Non-GMO Project Verified and Halal certified.
FAQ from
NatureCity Customers
Since MK-7 (and specifically MenaQ7®) has been shown to be superior to MK-4, there’s no benefit to adding in MK-4. Although both MK-4 and MK-7 are almost completely absorbed into the bloodstream, MK-4 has a very short half-life and quickly disappears from circulation.
By contrast, MK-7 can remain in blood serum for 72 hours after taking it, so the vitamin K2 can accumulate in the bloodstream and always be available to be put to work as needed by your body.
This makes MK-7 much more convenient (and effective) because you can take relatively small amounts once (or twice) a day. To get the same effect using MK-4, you’d have to take it every few hours.
The vitamin D in TrueD3 is not plant based, it’s made from lanolin oil (from sheep wool), and it comes from Switzerland. The D3 in TrueK2D3 is plant-based, made from organic algae. TrueK2D3 is all plant-based.
