Yes. Vitamin D3 and K2 are commonly taken together and work synergistically. Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 directs calcium to bones and teeth rather than arteries. According to NIH, this combination supports both bone density and cardiovascular health.
A common recommendation is 100-200 mcg of K2 (as MK-7) per 1000 IU of vitamin D3. However, there is no officially established optimal ratio. The key is ensuring adequate K2 intake when supplementing with D3, as D3 increases calcium absorption which K2 helps direct properly.
