How much more does vitamin D3 with K2 cost?

Our picks, by labeled strength, with a link to buy them: see where to buy. A strength with nothing certified at it has no pick, and is not listed there.

At 5,000 IU, BulkSupplements.com sells the same count of softgels with and without K2: $24.97 plain against $22.97 with K2, so the K2 costs $-2.00 a bottle, 100 mcg per softgel.

Both products are compared on their D3 content only, and the K2 never enters the ranking. Whether the K2 does anything you would notice is a separate question, argued with the trials in the note linked below. This page is the price of it.

Prices before delivery, from the same retailer for both products in each pair. K2 amounts are read from the label where the panel prints them and from the product description where it does not; each product page says which.

Where to buy: the picks, by labeled strength

The pick is the cheapest certified product, at the exact package sold where the certifier names packages, with no adverse finding on record, a price its retailer let us read recently, and no more than a year’s supply at the label’s serving; per delivered dose where the retailer publishes a delivery rate. Where none does, it is the cheapest such product before delivery, and it says how far the order is from free delivery. It is the same pick the category page shows.

OPINIONWe also wrote an argued piece on whether the K2 has been shown to do anything. It is kept off this page on purpose: everything above is computed, and that is not.
