Navigator packages its formula with two fat-soluble vitamins in a bottle of 60 capsules. In one capsule, the manufacturer declares 250 \u00b5g of cholecalciferol, which is 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3, and 200 \u00b5g of Vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7. Cholecalciferol is obtained from lanolin, which is fat from sheep's wool, and menaquinone-7 is produced in the natto fermentation process by Bacillus subtilis. The capsule is filled with three rice raw materials: concentrate, extract, and gluten-free rice flour. The coating is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is a plant-based material without gelatin - and this is what gives it the 'vegan' designation in the trade name of this variant. However, the cholecalciferol itself comes from an animal-derived raw material, so if you are purchasing for a plant-based diet, check the declaration on the packaging. This package contains 60 capsules in a 120 ml bottle. The capsule is swallowed whole with water, and the bottle is compact enough to fit in a cosmetic bag.<\/p>\n

The trade name of this variant is the most common misunderstanding surrounding the entire family. The capsule coating is indeed plant-based: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a cellulose derivative and a standard substitute for gelatin. However, the active ingredient, cholecalciferol, is sourced from lanolin, a waxy secretion from sheep glands obtained during wool shearing. This is an animal-derived raw material, although it does not require slaughter. Menaquinone-7 comes from fermentation: Bacillus subtilis bacteria process soy into natto, from which Vitamin K2 is obtained. The fillers are also a choice, not a coincidence: instead of a typical anti-caking agent, the manufacturer used concentrate, extract, and rice flour, and explicitly declares the absence of magnesium stearate, sugar, lactose, gluten, starch, wheat, and corn. Six items on the list and nothing more. For clarity, one explanation: the percentages given for both vitamins are reference intake values for adults, meaning a reference to daily requirements, not to the size of the product serving - the manufacturer notes this explicitly under the table.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer states that a serving consists of one capsule taken with a meal. Check the frequency of intake on the packaging before taking the first capsule, and compare it with your doctor's recommendation.<\/p>\n
This variant is for adults who want to try this formula without buying a large supply, or who simply prefer a smaller package on the shelf. The 120 ml bottle is convenient and easily fits in a cosmetic bag, making it suitable for travel. The plant-based coating may be an argument for those avoiding gelatin - however, it is worth knowing that cholecalciferol itself is sourced from lanolin, so the product is not free from animal-derived raw materials. The product is intended for adults. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, individuals taking anticoagulants, and those with kidney diseases should consult a doctor before starting supplementation, as Vitamin K2 interacts with vitamin K antagonists. If you already know you will be using the product for a longer time, consider a larger package of the same formula. If you do not have a current 25(OH)D blood test result, start with that. The manufacturer recommends this exact order of actions, and it is worth discussing the result with a doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n
The coating is plant-based, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. This is what this variant owes its trade name to. Cholecalciferol, on the other hand, is sourced from lanolin, which is sheep's wool, and this is an animal-derived raw material. If vegan status is a condition for your purchase, check the declaration on the packaging or contact us - we will verify the label of the batch available in the store.<\/p>\n
The package contains 60 capsules, and the bottle has a capacity of 120 ml. Both values are provided by the manufacturer on their product card. The bottle is clearly larger than the volume of the capsules themselves, which is typical for this format - the extra space makes it easier to measure doses and reduces clumping during transport.<\/p>\n
Vitamin K2 MK-7 comes from natto, which is fermented soy, so the ingredient has a soy origin. The manufacturer states this origin directly on the product card. Check the allergen declaration on the packaging. If you avoid soy in any form, consider this information significant and consult your choice of product with a doctor.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer briefly states: store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of small children. A practical note from us: keep the capsules in the original, tightly sealed bottle and choose a kitchen cabinet instead of a bathroom shelf, where humidity can be high. Close the bottle immediately after measuring a dose and do not transfer the capsules to a weekly organizer.<\/p>\n
Navigator packages this formulation in several sizes, and we have both a larger package and a backup version for longer use side by side. The cholecalciferol alone, without vitamin K2, is offered by the brand in soft gel capsules.

The manufacturer recommends performing a 25(OH)D blood test before starting supplementation and consulting the result with a doctor or pharmacist - with such a concentrated dose of vitamin D3, this is a sensible order of actions. Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Pregnant and breastfeeding women and individuals taking medications regularly, including anticoagulants, should consult the use of the product with a doctor. Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of small children. Keep the package out of reach of small children and do not use after the expiration date.<\/p>\n Do not exceed the recommended daily serving. Dietary supplements do not replace a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n Do you have questions about the ingredients or dosage?
