I was just looking for feedback re the amounts of everything in this capsule - before purchasing

gandgvitamins.com/category-...

4000iu of Vit D is what caught my attention

Could add extra magnesium

Is there enough K2

I don’t normally take calcium but if this is a small amount then wonder if that’s ok

I know Vit C is water soluble and D fat soluble but but would that matter?

It's advised not to take any calcium unless tested and found to be deficient. It may be only 9% opf RDA but you will be eating calcium foods in dairy, etc, in your diet so personally I wouldn't use this supplement.

Vit K2-MK7 is recommended at a dose of 90-100mcg for up to 10,000iu D3 so there that supplement has double that amount.

Can I just ask, if I have a Vit K2 MK7 supplement which is 200mcg and I am taking Vit D 5000 everyday, would I take the K2 every other day?

That's what I would do. In fact, 100mcg is enough for up to 10,000iu D3. I take 5,000iu D3 daily and as my K2-mk7 tablet is 200mcg I take that alternate days.

I wouldn't take anything that had calcium in it. Remember, taking vit D is going to increase your absorption of calcium from food. And, that's a very small amount of magnesium. That wouldn't do you much good. No, I definitely wouldn't take that.
