Curated, not stocked.
We recommend this formulation specifically because it pairs D3 with both K1 and K2 — a combination our doctors consider the more complete approach to vitamin D supplementation. Taking D3 in isolation, without adequate vitamin K, is an oversight we see often in generic supplements. Designs for Health has a strong reputation among clinicians for producing practitioner-grade products, and this one earns its place for exactly that reason.
About this product
Vitamin D Supreme
Vitamin D Supreme by Designs for Health is a combined vitamin D3, K1, and K2 supplement. The pairing of D3 with both forms of vitamin K is a considered formulation choice: vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, while K1 and K2 help direct calcium to the right places — bones and teeth — and away from soft tissues such as arterial walls. This matters because taking D3 alone, particularly at higher doses, can raise circulating calcium without adequate K to guide its deposition.
This combination is well suited to people with confirmed low vitamin D on a blood test, those with limited sun exposure (a common finding in the UK), individuals focused on long-term bone density, and anyone on a supplemental D3 dose who wants the co-factors to match. It fits neatly into a morning routine, taken alongside a meal containing some fat to support absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins.
Designs for Health is a practitioner-grade brand with a long clinical track record. Their formulations are generally designed to the specifications that practitioners actually use, rather than the lower-cost versions found on supermarket shelves. This SKU reflects that approach — a straightforward, well-reasoned combination with no superfluous additions.

How to use
Take one capsule daily, ideally with a meal that contains some fat. Vitamins D3, K1, and K2 are all fat-soluble, so taking this supplement alongside dietary fat supports absorption. Follow the dosage guidance on the packaging or as directed by your clinician.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Why does this contain vitamin K alongside vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption, and vitamin K — particularly K2 — helps ensure that calcium is deposited in bones rather than accumulating in soft tissues like arterial walls. The two nutrients work more effectively in combination than either does alone.
Do I need a blood test before taking this?
It is worth knowing your baseline vitamin D level before supplementing, particularly if you plan to take it long-term. A simple blood test can confirm whether you are deficient and help guide the appropriate dose. Your GP or a private clinic can arrange this.
Is this suitable if I take blood-thinning medication such as warfarin?
Vitamin K can interact with anticoagulant medications including warfarin. If you are on any such medication, speak to your doctor before taking this supplement.
How long before I notice a difference?
Vitamin D replenishment is gradual. If you are correcting a deficiency, meaningful improvement in blood levels typically takes several weeks of consistent supplementation. A follow-up blood test after 8 to 12 weeks is a sensible way to assess progress.
Can I take this alongside a general multivitamin?
Check the vitamin D and K content of your multivitamin before combining. Taking multiple products containing fat-soluble vitamins can lead to unintended cumulative doses. If in doubt, check the packaging of both products or ask a clinician.
