INTRODUCTION:
The Vitamin D Problem Nobody Warned You About
Vitamin D is the supplement everyone’s taking.
Vitamin K2 is the one most people aren’t — and that’s where things get… complicated.
See, Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium.
Vitamin K2 helps you put that calcium where it belongs (bones and teeth) instead of letting it wander into arteries like it’s lost.
Enter Sports Research® Vitamin D3 + K2 with Coconut Oil — a clean, synergistic formula that understands a simple truth:
Calcium needs supervision.
This supplement pairs high-quality D3, bioavailable K2 (MK-7), and coconut oil to improve absorption and support bone, heart, immune, and long-term vascular health — without unnecessary fillers or guesswork.
WHAT THIS SUPPLEMENT ACTUALLY IS
This is a fat-soluble vitamin stack done correctly.
Instead of selling Vitamin D in isolation, Sports Research pairs it with:
- Vitamin K2 (MK-7) — the form with the longest half-life and strongest evidence
- Coconut oil — to improve absorption of both fat-soluble vitamins
The result is a one-softgel solution to a problem most people don’t realize they’re creating by taking D alone.
The formula is produced by Sports Research, a brand known for minimal ingredient lists, third-party testing, and non-GMO sourcing.
WHY D3 + K2 IS THE GOLD STANDARD COMBO
🦴 Bone Health
- Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from food
- Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, directing calcium into bones
Without K2, calcium absorption increases — but placement becomes inefficient.
❤️ Heart & Arterial Health
Vitamin K2 helps activate matrix Gla-protein (MGP), which plays a role in keeping calcium out of arteries and soft tissues.
Translation:
D3 loads the calcium.
K2 tells it where to go.
WHY MK-7 MATTERS (NOT ALL K2 IS THE SAME)
Vitamin K2 comes in multiple forms. MK-7 is preferred because:
- It stays active in the body longer
- Requires lower daily dosing
- Has better evidence for cardiovascular and bone support
Sports Research uses MK-7, not MK-4, making this formula ideal for daily, long-term use.
THE ROLE OF COCONUT OIL (NOT JUST A TRENDY ADD-ON)
D3 and K2 are fat-soluble vitamins, meaning they absorb better with dietary fat.
Including coconut oil:
- Improves bioavailability
- Ensures consistent absorption even if taken without a meal
- Eliminates the “did I eat enough fat?” question
It’s a small addition that makes a measurable difference.
