Reading guide

How to read this shelf

Vitamin D3, K2, C and combinations. The catalog stores amounts in milligrams. Vitamin D and K2 are shown here in micrograms, and the label may use IU (for vitamin D, 1 µg equals 40 IU by definition).

Check on every label

  • The unit on the label (µg, mg or IU) before comparing with the figures here.
  • For K2, which form is named (MK-4 or MK-7). The catalog stores the total.
  • Liquid drops: how many drops the label calls a serving, since the container count depends on it.

Verdict: This DoNotAge Pure Vitamin D3, K2 & Magnesium scores 8.2, making it a strong scorer. It delivers 250mg of Magnesium, inside the studied range of 200–500mg with grade A evidence (strong human trial data). The quality transparency (5.0) is limited by the lack of third-party testing.
