Vegan Vitamin D3/K2 with D3 from lichens and K2Vital from Kappa - D3 1,000 IU (25 µg) / K2 21 µg per daily dose (1 drop) - 30 ml - by Unimedica
In fact, it is possible to obtain Vitamin D3 from lichens — much to the delight of vegans, as D3 has so far mostly been obtained from animal products such as fish oil or lanolin. Some lichen species, for example Icelandic lichen (Lichen islandicus), contain ergosterol, a precursor of Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 and K2 are interdependent; both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. K2Vital is produced by Kappa Bioscience, a Norwegian company specialising in the production of Vitamin K2.

Produktinformationen
Sunbathing from the inside
Vegan Vitamin D3|K2 from Unimedica is a high-dose combination of valuable vitamins in drop form for the immune system and the maintenance of normal bones. 1 drop daily, taken undiluted, is sufficient to provide the body with a basic supply of the "sun vitamin" D3. D3 supports, among other things, the immune system and helps maintain a balanced calcium level in the blood. Vitamin K2 simultaneously ensures that the calcium essential for bones from the diet reaches the places where it is needed.
The special feature: Vegan vitamin D3
Normally we obtain vitamin D3 from animal products such as meat, fish and eggs or – in small amounts – through the body’s own production triggered by sunlight. The vitamin D3 for our Vitamin D3|K2 drops is obtained from lichens by fermentation. These Vitamin D3|K2 drops are therefore ideally suited to vegan and vegetarian diets.
High quality from proven branded ingredients
Our Vitamin D3|K2 drops contain the high-quality branded ingredient K2Vital from KAPPA. It uses the most bioavailable form of vitamin K2 (menaquinone), MK-7 all-trans. This ensures the high quality and efficacy of the formulation. Both the "sun vitamin" D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone) are fat-soluble and are therefore dissolved in high-quality MCT oil (coconut oil). This makes the active ingredient combination in the drops stable.
What are vitamins D3 and K2 needed for?
Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function and a normal immune system. It supports the absorption of calcium from the intestine.
Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and to the maintenance of normal bones.
Which foods contain D3 and K2?
We generally obtain vitamin D3 from fatty fish (e.g. herring, mackerel, salmon), eggs, beef liver and butter. Cod liver oil is also a very good source of D3. Unlike vitamin C, vitamin D is less heat-sensitive and remains effective in cooked or fried foods.
Vitamin K exists in two forms: K1 and K2. K1 is found in many green vegetables such as broccoli or kale, as well as in herbs, seaweed and vegetable oils. K2 can be more readily utilised by the body than K1. It is present in small amounts in meat, eggs and dairy products. Better sources are fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi or natto made from soybeans.
Why take vitamins D3 and K2 together?
Especially during the darker months, supplementing the diet with D3 can be helpful because vitamin D3 can only be produced in the body with sufficient sunlight. To ensure that the calcium absorbed with the help of vitamin D is used optimally, vitamin K2 comes into play. It directs the calcium to the places the body needs it. In this way, K2 prevents the deposition of unused calcium on blood vessel walls (so-called calcification).
