Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Mega D-3 & MK-7
Have a Question?
-
What are the benefits of NOW Foods Mega D-3 & MK-7?
NOW Foods, Mega D-3 & MK-7 offers a combination of two essential nutrients that support bone health and cardiovascular function. Vitamin D3 aids in calcium absorption and bone mineralization, while MK-7 (a form of vitamin K2) helps direct calcium to bones and teeth rather than soft tissues, potentially reducing the risk of arterial calcification.
-
What are mega D3 and mk-7?
Mega D3 refers to a high-dose form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is crucial for calcium absorption and overall bone health. MK-7 is a specific form of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) that plays a vital role in calcium metabolism and has a longer half-life in the body compared to other forms of vitamin K, potentially providing more sustained benefits.
-
What is Mega D3 good for?
Mega D3 is beneficial for maintaining strong bones and teeth by enhancing calcium absorption from the digestive tract. It also supports immune function, muscle strength, and may play a role in mood regulation and cognitive health. Additionally, adequate vitamin D levels have been associated with reduced risk of certain chronic diseases and improved overall health outcomes.
-
What's the difference between vitamin D and vitamin D3?
Vitamin D is a general term that encompasses multiple forms of the nutrient, while vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a specific form that is considered the most bioavailable and effective for raising blood levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is the form naturally produced in human skin when exposed to sunlight, whereas vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is derived from plant sources and may not be as efficiently utilized by the body.
-
Is it OK to take NOW Foods Mega D-3 & MK-7 every day?
For many people, taking NOW Foods, Mega D-3 & MK-7 daily can be beneficial, especially for those with limited sun exposure or at risk of vitamin D deficiency. However, the appropriate dosage can vary based on individual factors such as age, weight, skin color, and overall health status. It's important to monitor vitamin D levels periodically to ensure optimal supplementation.
-
Are there any side effects to taking NOW Foods Mega D-3 & MK-7?
While generally considered safe, excessive intake of vitamin D3 can lead to hypercalcemia, characterized by symptoms such as nausea, weakness, and kidney problems. MK-7 is typically well-tolerated, but it may interact with certain medications, particularly blood thinners. It's crucial to be aware of potential interactions and to start with lower doses if you have any underlying health conditions.
