    What is in Beast Labs D3 + K2

    Vitamin D3. The US National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements (NIH ODS) explains that vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, one of the main building blocks of strong bones, and that your body makes vitamin D when bare skin is exposed to the sun. The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) vitamin D fact sheet says D3 (cholecalciferol) is now considered the preferable supplement form. Here the D3 comes from lichen, which is why the brand can call the formula plant based.

    How big is the dose? The NHMRC Nutrient Reference Values set an adequate intake of vitamin D of 5 mcg a day for adults aged 19 to 50, 10 mcg for ages 51 to 70 and 15 mcg for people over 70, assuming little sun. The upper level of intake for adults is 80 mcg a day. One softgel gives 125 mcg, which is above that upper level on its own.

    The AIS lists vitamin D in Group A as a medical supplement. Its fact sheet suggests 1,000 IU a day for athletes at risk of low vitamin D who are not deficient, and 2,000 IU a day for 1 to 2 months for athletes with diagnosed insufficiency, followed by another blood test. At 5,000 IU, this softgel is well above both, which is why it belongs with medical advice rather than as a casual daily extra.

    Vitamin K2 (MK-7). NIH ODS describes vitamin K as important for blood clotting and healthy bones, and lists menaquinone-7 (MK-7) as one of the forms of vitamin K2 used in supplements. It notes vitamin K has not been shown to cause harm, but it can interact seriously with the blood thinner warfarin.

    Coconut MCT oil. The AIS describes vitamin D as a fat soluble vitamin. Beast Labs says the coconut MCT oil is there to help absorption.

    Who it suits

    • Adults whose doctor has checked their vitamin D with a blood test and recommended a high-dose supplement. Healthdirect says to check the correct dose with your doctor first.
    • People who want vitamin D3 and K2 together in one softgel, as advised by their doctor or pharmacist.
    • People who eat plant based: Beast Labs says the formula and softgel are vegan.

    Who should check first

    • Everyone: one softgel is above the NHMRC upper level for vitamin D, so speak to your GP or pharmacist before you start. Healthdirect says some people should not take vitamin D supplements at all.
    • Warfarin users: NIH ODS says vitamin K can have a serious interaction with warfarin. Do not start this product without your doctor's advice.
    • Other medicines: NIH ODS notes that thiazide diuretics could raise blood calcium too high with vitamin D supplements, and that steroids, orlistat and cholesterol-lowering statins can also interact with vitamin D.
    • Pregnancy or breastfeeding: the NHMRC applies the same adult upper level in pregnancy and breastfeeding, so this softgel is above it. Get personal advice from your doctor or midwife.
    • Under 18: the NHMRC upper level for children and teens aged 1 to 18 is also 80 mcg a day, which is less than one softgel. Not for children unless a doctor directs it.
    • Coconut allergy: the label states it contains tree nuts (coconut).
    • Stacking supplements: add up the vitamin D in any multivitamin or greens powder you already take.
    • Drug-tested athletes: Sport Integrity Australia says taking any supplement is a risk. Read our guide for drug-tested athletes before using any supplement.

    How to use Beast Labs D3 + K2

    The nutrition panel lists a serving size of 1 softgel and 60 servings per container. We could not find written directions for use or warnings on the Beast Labs product page or on the label image it publishes, so take it only as your doctor or pharmacist advises, including how often.

    The AIS recommends confirming vitamin D status with a blood test and checking it again after a course. It also warns that over-exposure to UV in an effort to raise vitamin D can cause sunburn and skin cancer. Melbourne sits at about 38 degrees south, and the AIS notes that people living beyond 35 degrees, training indoors or covering up are more likely to run low.

    How it compares

    • Animal Pak by Universal Nutrition: a multivitamin pack with minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, with 8 tablets in each pack according to Universal. It suits people who want a broad daily pack rather than a single high-dose softgel. Check its label for the vitamin D amount.
    • Our vitamins range: includes other vitamin D products in different strengths, with and without K2. Compare the mcg per serve on each label against your doctor's advice.

    FAQs

    How much vitamin D is in Beast Labs D3 + K2?

    Each softgel has 125 mcg of vitamin D3, which equals 5,000 IU. The AIS conversion is 40 IU to 1 mcg. Each softgel also has 100 mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7.

    Is 5,000 IU of vitamin D a day too much?

    It is above the NHMRC upper level for adults of 80 mcg a day, which is 3,200 IU. Only take this amount if your doctor has advised it after checking your levels.

    Is Beast Labs D3 + K2 vegan?

    Beast Labs says it is vegan and plant based. The D3 comes from lichen, the K2 from chickpea, and the softgel is made from modified tapioca starch. It also contains coconut.

    Can I take vitamin K2 if I am on warfarin?

    Not without your doctor's advice. NIH ODS says vitamin K can have a serious interaction with warfarin, and that a sudden change in how much vitamin K you get can affect how the medicine works.

    How long does a bottle of Beast Labs D3 + K2 last?

    There are 60 softgels per bottle and the serving size is one softgel, so a bottle holds 60 serves. How long that lasts depends on the schedule your doctor gives you.

    Do I get enough vitamin D from the sun in Melbourne?

    The AIS says sunlight is the main source of vitamin D, but Melbourne needs much longer sun exposure in winter than in summer. If you train indoors, cover up or have darker skin, ask your GP about a blood test.
