Should vitamin d & k be taken at same time? Zzz

Posted by way @way, 6 days ago

Recently diagnosed w osteoporosis. Reading book rebuild your bones by mira& Jayson calton. They said not to take vitamin d & k together because they compete with each other. Taking bone strength slim tablets. My question is that if it includes both of these vitamins then Why do most supplements combine the vit d & k together? Or should I be taking them separately. I am thankful I found this site to help me.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@bethieb thanks for replying to my ? Should vit d & k be taken together or separately. Someone replied that the book rebuild ur bones only has a 1 star review. I didn't know this. It says in book that wife was diagnosed in her 30's w osteoporosis & she reversed it with protocol in book.
Consensus on this site is they can be taken together.

Everyone on this site says that vit d & k should be taken together. Book said no cause they compete w 1 another. That's why this site is so resourceful to help clarify conflicting information.

@nycmusic
I thought the same thing too because most vit d & k come in the same pill. After I read the book I actually bought both separately. I should have asked my question before I did this. Everyone on this site who responded to my ? Said that they should be taken together.

Should they be taken together at night or in the morning.
I used to take the k complex vitamin at night with the D3 but the read that the K needs to be taken with fat in order to be absorbed so I switched to taking the K after breakfast.
TY!

@lightlifts It doesn't really matter, but it definitely helps to take them with a meal.

I just watched a YouTube video last night that said to take the D3 and K along with your calcium one half hour before going to bed. It was a woman giving the advice. You could do a search in the YouTube search bar for D3 and K and many videos will be listed. My calcium includes D3 so I hope I am not getting too much. I had better reseach how much each pill contains.

For those of us with insomnia, be aware that Vitamin D3 may interefere with melatonin. I take my D3 with breakfast, along with the K2 MK-4 (occasionally alternating with K2 MK-7).

@njx58 most meals have at least a little fat of 1 kind or another, so maybe just with.after any meal…if your supplement has calcium, etc., and you take levothyroxine—then take that supplement 4 hours after the levo.
