An avalanche of favorable studies has resulted in record numbers of Americans supplementing with vitamin D. Since it is virtually impossible to obtain adequate vitamin D from food sources‚ supplementation with 5‚000-10‚000 IU daily is required by most aging individuals.
Overlooked by almost everyone (except Life Extension® members) is the critical importance of vitamin K. If one is concerned enough about their health to take higher dose vitamin D‚ it seems absurd to miss out on the proven benefits of vitamin K. For instance‚ vitamin D facilitates calcium absorption into the bloodstream and thus plays an important role in maintaining bone density. Less recognized is the need for vitamin K to transport calcium from the bloodstream into the bone. Vitamin K is also required by calcium-regulating proteins in the arteries. Together these two vitamins help maintain youthful calcium skeletal distribution while promoting vascular health.
Vitamin K can be found in small amounts in the diet‚ but to obtain the desired higher potencies requires supplementation. Most Life Extension members obtain optimal potencies of long-acting vitamin K in the Super Booster or Super K formulations. An increasing number of new members‚ however‚ are asking for high-potency vitamin D—but are not taking any supplemental vitamin K.
To directly address this critical problem‚ Life Extension® has put together a new formula called Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine™. Like vitamins D and K‚ few Americans obtain optimal amounts of iodine. As people seek to limit their salt intake‚ this deficit is exacerbated since iodized salt is the principal source of this mineral in many diets. We expect the issue of iodine insufficiency to receive more media attention as new studies uncover the problems this creates. Sea-Iodine™ is included in this formula to provide iodine without the harmful effects of sodium.

Precautions

Great Idea
You need to combine D with K unless you have blood clotting or thinning issues. Adding iodine with extra minerals is a great idea. Sadly many people have fluoridated water and iodine is good to flush some fluoride out of the body. This is a very small amount of iodine but it should work fine for most people I would think.

I love this product!
A few years ago my doctor told me I had a vitamin D deficiency. I started taking vitamin D and kept getting a stomach ache. Then my doctor recommended I take vitamin K with the vitamin D. He said the K would help my body absorb the vitamin D. That solved the problem but I was taking two pills. I started buying an expensive combined vitamin D and K product at a popular vitamin store. However the dosing of vitamin D was still too low. The Life Extension brand of combined D and K is a great product. My vitamin D level has been normal since Ive taken this product.
Pros
-
This product is a good value for the money compared to more expensive products at local vitamin stores and the convenience of ordering online and having it delivered to your house saves time.
Cons

Good product!
The bottle is the same size but the pills are now much smaller. However, the analysis of each pill is the same, so the difference must be less filler. I like Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine by Life Extension very much because it has Vitamin K2, which along with Vitamin D is crucial for your body to be able to use calcium where it is needed.

Adverse reactions
I took Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine by Life Extension under a doctor's direction after 24 hour urine testing showed low iodine. I had terrible adverse reactions, including SEVERE cystic acne, hyperthyroidism, goiter. I became very ill for a very long time. I have suffered permanent harm. I have a new doctor who suplements my iodine with a different supplement and have had no problems.
