I had heard that k2 goes with d3 for bone health, but what I only just found out yesterday is that you can overdo the k2 of you're trying to get high doses of d3. So don't exceed the daily dose for a d3+k2 supplement. Take extra d3 on its own without the extra k2. I'm not a medical professional, so confirm for yourself.
I've been following your replies in this post. Thanks for the info you are helping many of us with. I am new (about 12 mo) to the use of supplements. I was told after a bone density test to up my calcium and D3. I have tried to "equate" the dosage of "IU" with "mg". but not sure how to do that. I have currently 2,000 IU of D3, but unsure how to "increase" it to what the Dr. wants. Can you help explain? Thanks!
google will convert IU (international units) to mg for you
the bare minimum for adults should be 5000 IU of D2 (with the 120mcg of K2) per day. 30 minutes in the sun is equal to 10000 iu to equate the dose. you are basically forcing 15 minutes of sunshine a day.

100% correct. Take one D pill with K2, the rest just D3.
1000mg C, 5000IU D
K2 is part of D complex and ensures the D calcifies correctly. Its integral and part of some D supplements.
400mg of any mag, biglycinate is the best.
Brazil nuts are the best food source of Selenium, an essential nutrient depleted from our soils. Eat one brazil nut a day.
No problem, bring all the Qs you like. Be healthy. Feel like a beast.

If you shower is regimented, try to get it part of your routine after and it comes natural.
