The first thing we look at on a D3 + K2 bottle is who verified it, because the label is the only part of a supplement you can actually inspect before you swallow it. This one carries Vegan Certified and Non-GMO Project Verified seals and leaves out carrageenan, gluten, soy, and artificial fillers. That is more outside checking than any other bottle in this set, and it is a big part of why this is the one we hand people first.
The formula holds up on its own terms, too. The D3 comes from lichen rather than lanolin, the K2 is MK-7 from fermented chickpeas at 100 mcg, and coconut MCT oil carries both. At 5,000 IU (125 mcg) per softgel it matches the strength of most one-a-day picks here, so nobody is trading dose for the plant-based sourcing.
In use there is very little to report, which is exactly the review you want for a daily vitamin. One small softgel, no aftertaste worth mentioning, nothing to schedule around except a meal with some fat in it. The 120-count bottle runs about four months at one a day.
What puts it ahead is that nothing had to give. A vegan D3 source, a full 100 mcg of MK-7, a single softgel, and clean-label certification all sit in the same bottle, and no other pick here manages all four. That is the whole argument, and it is why this is the bottle we hand to a friend who asks.
Pros
- Vegan D3 from lichen, not lanolin
- 100 mcg of MK-7 in one softgel
- Vegan Certified and Non-GMO Project Verified
- Small softgel with no aftertaste
Cons
- One strength only, at 5,000 IU
Our pick for most people: certified vegan D3, a full 100 mcg of MK-7, and one small softgel a day, with nothing compromised to get there.
