Vitamin D contributes to normal bone, muscle and immune function, and helps the body absorb calcium to maintain healthy bones. Our range is led by our house-brand Emrald Labs Vitamin D3 + K2 Capsules, and every member of our team is a certified nutritionist, so expert advice is always free. If you think your levels may be low, the right first step is a chat with your GP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"what-does-vitamin-d-do\"\u003eWhat does vitamin D do?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D contributes to normal bone, muscle and immune function, and helps the body absorb calcium to maintain healthy bones (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.healthdirect.gov.au\/vitamin-d-and-your-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHealthdirect\u003c\/a\u003e). Your body makes most of its vitamin D when skin is exposed to sunlight, and you get smaller amounts from food. It works alongside other nutrients, including vitamin K2 and magnesium, which is why many supplements pair them. For more on what a healthy level supports, read our vitamin D benefits guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"vitamin-d3-vs-d2\"\u003eWhat is the difference between vitamin D3 and D2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D comes in two main forms. D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form the body makes in the skin and is found in animal sources, while D2 (ergocalciferol) comes from plant and fortified sources. D3 is the form most supplements use and is generally considered more effective at raising and maintaining vitamin D levels (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3349454\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTripkovic et al.\u003c\/a\u003e). Most products in this range, including the Emrald Labs range, use D3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"do-you-need-k2-with-d3\"\u003eDo you need K2 with vitamin D3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou do not strictly need K2, but the two are often paired. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, and vitamin K is a cofactor for osteocalcin, one of the main proteins in bone; some (but not all) studies link higher vitamin K intake with higher bone mineral density (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminK-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNIH ODS\u003c\/a\u003e). That is why combined formulas are popular. Our house-brand \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.elitesupps.com.au\/products\/vitamin-d3-k2-capsules\" title=\"Emrald Labs Vitamin D3 + K2 Capsules\"\u003eEmrald Labs Vitamin D3 + K2 Capsules\u003c\/a\u003e leads the range, with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.elitesupps.com.au\/products\/vitamin-d3-k2\" title=\"Switch Nutrition Vitamin D3 + K2\"\u003eSwitch Nutrition Vitamin D3 + K2\u003c\/a\u003e as a co-featured option. Learn more in our D3 and K2 guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"how-do-you-get-vitamin-d\"\u003eHow do you get vitamin D?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three main sources: sunlight, food and supplements. Most vitamin D is made in the skin from sunlight, but in Australia sun exposure needs to be balanced against skin-cancer risk, so follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org.au\/cancer-information\/causes-and-prevention\/sun-safety\/vitamin-d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Cancer Council\"\u003eCancer Council\u003c\/a\u003e and GP advice for your situation rather than seeking deliberate unprotected sun. Few foods are naturally rich in vitamin D (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminD-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNIH ODS\u003c\/a\u003e). Where sunlight and diet fall short, a supplement can help top up your intake. See our vitamin D foods guide for dietary sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"who-is-at-risk-of-low-vitamin-d\"\u003eWho is at risk of low vitamin D?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people are more likely to have low vitamin D, including those with limited sun exposure, naturally darker skin, mostly covered skin, older adults, and people who spend most of their time indoors (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.healthdirect.gov.au\/vitamin-d-deficiency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHealthdirect\u003c\/a\u003e). These are reasons to talk to your GP, not to self-diagnose. A blood test ordered by your GP is the only way to know your vitamin D level. For what to do next, read our vitamin D deficiency guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"how-much-vitamin-d-per-day\"\u003eHow much vitamin D per day?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no single amount that suits everyone, and the right intake depends on your age, health and current level. In Australia the adequate intake of vitamin D for most adults is 5.0 micrograms a day, rising to 10 micrograms a day for adults 51 to 70 and 15 micrograms a day for those over 70; the upper level of intake for adults is 80 micrograms a day (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.eatforhealth.gov.au\/nutrient-reference-values\/nutrients\/vitamin-d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNHMRC\u003c\/a\u003e). Your personal dose, and any higher-strength regimen, should be guided by your GP. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so the body stores it, and very high chronic intakes can be harmful (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminD-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNIH ODS\u003c\/a\u003e) - more is not better. Our dosage guide covers this in more detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"how-to-choose-a-vitamin-d-supplement\"\u003eHow do you choose a vitamin D supplement?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the form (D3 is the most common), whether it includes K2, the strength per serve, and the format that suits you, such as capsules or softgels. If you take medication or have a health condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your GP or pharmacist first. Our range spans D3-only options and combined D3 and K2 formulas, led by the house-brand Emrald Labs Vitamin D3 + K2 Capsules.
