Anyone tried this one? Liking the look of the ratio... any feelings on "fractionated coconut oil MCT"?
Guineapiggy rattled my cage about K2 so thought I might increase it a little for the sake of bone health... and a little cheaper than my usual Nature Provides 😏

I take something similar (a different brand as I’m in the US) and I can vouch that it is highly absorbed. Been taking it for years. Love that it isn’t a pill and I quite enjoy the peppermint version.
The one I take is 1400 IU (35 mcg) Vit D3 and 20mcg Vit K2 per drop. I typically take 1-3 drops daily in the morning and the dosage varies based upon my Vit D levels, which are tested three times/year. I prefer my Vit D level to be in the 80-100 ng/mL range and will adjust dosage up or down to keep in that range. I’ve never had a recommendation for Vit K2 dose…. from what I know it is just there to help Vit D absorption.
I’m in the Uk & buy this from Amazon. Like the taste & my levels have increased steadily. I’ve recommended it on here several times. I think the oil helps absorption.
Hi, sorry I didn’t make clear that it’s the SBR coconut oil one that I like. Disturbed night with ancient dog! Shouldn’t write answers before a cup of tea!
My reply seems to have disappeared. Obviously one of those days. The coconut one is out of stock at Amazon, apparently I’ve bought it 6 times so must like it! It’s available on eBay but I don’t know about the retailers.
realised that the one I’ve been using has more olive oil than MCT oil. Can’t find a just olive oil one so it’s probably the same one. Seems out of stock on Amazon USA too. Probably leaves eBay or another American stockist.
I use one in attached picture, on subscription as it’s cheaper and always got it in then…Ive been ok with it but not had my levels checked yet should be May time.
The other I’ve used is Better You 3000 with K2 but I wasn’t getting enough, and the acacia caused me a gut issue, well I’m assuming that.
I've been taking this D3+K2 for a few months now and getting retested in the next few weeks. Will be interesting to see where my levels are with it, although my nutritionist had me drop the dose as she was twitchy about me taking too much. I do have a genetic SNP that means I require more D3.
I like that its a higher dose whch I need.
I'm also taking their Omega 3 supplement which is really helping.
I've tried most of their vitamins. This is next to try when my current stock runs out. I think my low stomach acid is causing poor absorbsion as I've been taking 5000iu vit D for a long time with very little improvement.
It's an American brand the vit D (they also used to do a sublingual tablet, but it was discontinued), their own vitamins are made in the UK with low exipients. They are more about quality not quantity. I need to do more work on my gut.
