D3K2: A Powerful Combo Enhanced with Nanotechnology
Do you live in an area that is often cloudy? Do you have a job where you must be inside most of the day? Do you adhere to a strict vegan diet or have dairy allergies? If any of these sound like you, have you tried increasing your vitamin D3 supplementation?
Research shows that Vitamin D3 deficiency affects nearly 50% of the global population regardless of ethnicity or age [1]. Although Vitamin D3 is best known for promoting healthy bones and teeth, missing out on the “sunshine vitamin” has consequences beyond bone health.
Vitamin D3 plays multiple daily roles in the body, which include creating and maintaining healthy tissues, preventing chronic diseases, reducing inflammation, promoting immune function, and aiding cognitive support. That’s only the beginning [2, 3, 4].
To take these benefits a step further, research shows Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 have a synergistic relationship that ensures the calcium transported by Vitamin D3 is absorbed where needed rather than accumulating in deposits in the arteries [5, 6, 7].
Vitamin K2 has also been found to build healthy bones, improve heart health, and aid in blood clotting.
Solex has created a unique formula of D3K2, using nanotechnology, to promote these and many more benefits. The ingredients in our Proprietary Blend take this formulation to the next level by supporting and enhancing all that Vitamin D3 and K2 offers.
Whether inadequate sunlight exposure or the lack of vitamin D in foods prevents you from being Vitamin D sufficient, let D3K2 optimize your body to be the best it can be!
D3K2 Benefits
D3K2 is a high-potency formulation that goes beyond what other Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 supplements can provide. This precise combination perfectly supports the following benefits:
Inflammation management*
Bone and heart health benefits*
Cognitive support*
Immune system support*
Calcium metabolism regulation*
Ingredients and Serving Size Recommendation
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): D3 creates and maintains healthy tissues, prevents chronic diseases, reduces inflammation, promotes immune function, and aids cognitive support.
Vitamin E (D-Alpha-tocopherol): Acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body, promotes skin health, helps maintain cognitive decline, and improves immune function and lung function [8, 9, 10, 11].
Proprietary Blend:
Vitamin K2 (MK 7 Menaquinone): A powerful nutrient that plays an essential role in many aspects of your health. Research shows that K2 has beneficial effects in osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy {12, 13]
Vitamin K1 (Phylloquinone-4): An essential vitamin primarily transported and used by the liver, which helps to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and the building of bones [14, 15].
Astaxanthin (Haematococcus pluvialis extract): Works as a powerful antioxidant protecting cells from free radicals and oxidative stress, supports the immune system, acts on ROS to reduce proteins that can cause inflammatory diseases, promotes cognitive and heart health [16, 17, 18].
Vitamin K2 (MK 4 Menaquinone): The most active form of K2 [19]. Makes up 98% of the total vitamin K in the brain, reduces the proliferation of rheumatoid synovial cells in rheumatoid arthritis, preserves vascular smooth muscle cells, and transports nutrients into the body effectively among many other benefits. [20, 21, 22, 23}

Nanotechnology in D3K2
Why is D3K2 the unique Vitamin D supplement in the market?
The secret is in Nanotechnology.
Nano comes from a ‘nanometer’ (1 billionth of a meter). To put it in perspective, take a round marble that is commonly used to play games and compare that to the size of the world.
Nano Technology separates the binding of molecular structures into smaller and smaller sizes to allow for more effective and efficient absorption. When this happens with molecular structures we consume in our supplements, they become bioavailable at the cellular level.
Nanosizing benefits in D3K2:
Massive absorption
Less waste
Lower biological stress
Lowers energy lost
Science and FAQs
Question: Who Can Benefit from Vitamin D3K2?
Middle-aged and Elderly Individuals
Post-Menopausal Women
Anyone with Low Vitamin D Status
Question: Can I take D3K2 along with other supplements?
Yes! D3K2 can be used along with other supplements. Supplements like Pulse and Prime for Solex are perfect pairs for D3K2.
Question: Why does the color of Vitamin D3K2 change from batch to batch?
Answer: Due to the naturally sourced ingredients in the Vitamin D3K2 formula, color may change from batch to batch. Time of harvest, season, soil richness, temperature, light, and humidity and other environmental factors can impact plant based and naturally sourced ingredients. The following tests have been used to ensure that every batch has the highest level of quality and consistency to help you experience the anticipated benefits: Organoleptic testing, Microbial testing, Gas chromatography, Mass Spectrometry, Fourier-transform Infrared spectroscopy, Chirality testing, Isotopic testing and Heavy Metal testing.
