Doctor Explains Vitamin K and D: Should You Take Them Together?

Should You Take Vitamins K and D Together? A Doctor Weighs In Millions of people take vitamin supplements daily. A common question is whether vitamin K and D should be taken together. Dr. Chisom Ikeji, MD, Critical Care, recently addressed this question in a short video. She explains that vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin, is crucial for blood clotting and bone health. While studies suggest that vitamin K2 might improve bone density, more research is needed to confirm this. Dr. Ikeji emphasizes that vitamin K is abundant in food, making supplementation often unnecessary. However, she clarifies that combining K2 with vitamin D is safe and may offer benefits, particularly for postmenopausal women. She strongly advises consulting a doctor before starting any new supplements. "Always talk to your doctor to make sure the K isn't interfering with any other medications," Dr. Ikeji advises. The video's informative and accessible style makes it ideal for a wider audience.
