Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does D3 Complete include Vitamins A, E, and K along with Vitamin D?
Because vitamin D doesn’t work in a vacuum. It needs co-factors. These are vitamins A, E, and K. Together, these four fat-soluble vitamins regulate calcium metabolism, support bone remodeling, and protect against the unintended effects of oversupplementation*.
- Are the doses in D3 Complete safe for long-term use?
Yes. Each nutrient is dosed according to established safety data. High enough to be effective, but low enough to avoid toxicity. It's designed for ongoing daily use without risk of hypervitaminosis*.
- What is the recommended dosage of D3 Complete?
The recommended dose is one to four softgels daily, ideally taken with food containing fat to enhance absorption. Each serving delivers:
- 1,000 IU (25 mcg) of Vitamin D3
- 550 mcg RAE of Vitamin A
- 2.83 mg of mixed Vitamin E
- 1,000 mcg of full-spectrum Vitamin K (K1, MK-4, and MK-7)
- What is a healthy blood range for vitamin D?
The generally accepted optimal blood range for 25(OH)D is 30–60 ng/mL. Some integrative practitioners aim for 40–60 ng/mL for bone and immune health, but levels above 100 ng/mL are associated with potential toxicity and adverse outcomes, especially in the absence of co-factors.
- Do my patients still need D3 Complete if they’re already taking AlgaeCal Plus? It depends. In a recent survey, over two-thirds of AlgaeCal customers reported supplementing D3 in addition to AlgaeCal Plus. The reasons for this are varied, and extend beyond bone health. That’s why we developed D3 Complete: a safe, balanced formula with all four fat-soluble vitamins — so your patients get what they need, without the risks of oversupplementation*.
- Why does D3 Complete contain only 1,000 IU of vitamin D3?
We followed the data. Emerging research — including large clinical trials published in JAMA1 and the Annals of Internal Medicine2 — shows that high-dose vitamin D (≥4,000 IU+) can actually reduce bone density and increase fall risk in older adults. D3 Complete provides a clinically smart, balanced dose designed to raise blood levels safely, without tipping into overdose territory. And it includes all the co-factors D3 needs to function properly*.
