The amber glass bottle holds 60 capsules. It is made in Canada, licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80144128. Helps to build strong bones and teeth. Helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. Helps to support immune function. Vitamin D intake, when combined with sufficient calcium, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy D3 and K2 come together\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 raises how much calcium the gut takes up from food. Vitamin K2 is needed to activate osteocalcin, a protein in bone that binds calcium into the bone matrix. For that reason the two are often sold as a pair, and Purica puts both in a single capsule taken once a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant sources for both vitamins\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin D3 is cholecalciferol made from pine phytosterols, marked on the bottle with a Pine D3 logo, in place of the more common lanolin from sheep's wool. The K2 is menaquinone-7, the long-chain form of vitamin K2 that stays in circulation for days. The capsule shell is hypromellose, and the remaining ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate, so the product suits vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dose for adults is one capsule a day. Both vitamins dissolve in fat, so take it with a meal that has some fat in it, such as breakfast with eggs, yogurt or nut butter. One bottle lasts 60 days. If you already take a multivitamin or another vitamin D product, check the totals with a health care professional first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdults who want one capsule for vitamin D and K2 instead of two products, including people in midlife and later who keep a close eye on bone health. It also fits people with little sun exposure through the Canadian winter, and vegans who want D3 instead of D2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBottle and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurica packs the capsules in amber glass with a metal lid instead of plastic, and seals the opening at the factory.
