NOW Foods Mega D-3 5000 IU & MK-7 180 mcg - Bone & Heart Health Support

NOW Foods Mega D-3 & MK-7 combines two powerhouse vitamins—5000 IU of Vitamin D-3 and 180 mcg of Vitamin K-2 (MK-7)—in one convenient daily capsule. This premium formulation addresses a critical health gap in Bangladesh, where limited sun exposure due to indoor work culture and concerns about skin darkening often lead to vitamin D deficiency. Priced transparently at ৳2,930 for 60 capsules, this supplement delivers pharmaceutical-grade bone, cardiovascular, and immune support backed by NOW Foods' 50+ years of manufacturing excellence. Unlike standalone vitamin D products flooding the Bangladesh market, this formula includes MenaQ7® MK-7—a clinically studied, bioavailable form of vitamin K-2 that ensures calcium goes where it should (bones and teeth) rather than where it shouldn't (arteries). With GMP certification and third-party testing, NOW Foods guarantees authenticity in a market where counterfeit supplements remain a concern. Available for fast delivery across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and beyond.

What Makes NOW Foods Mega D-3 & MK-7 Different from Other Vitamin D Supplements?

Most vitamin D supplements sold in Bangladesh offer only cholecalciferol (D-3) without addressing calcium metabolism—a critical oversight that NOW Foods corrects with this advanced formulation. Here's why this product stands apart:

MenaQ7® MK-7 Technology: Unlike cheaper K-2 sources, MenaQ7® is derived from chickpeas (not soy), making it allergen-friendly and highly bioavailable. This patented Norwegian ingredient activates proteins that guide calcium into bones while preventing arterial calcification—essential for aging populations and those with sedentary lifestyles common in urban Bangladesh.

Optimal 5000 IU Dosage: Bangladesh's latitude (20°-26°N) and monsoon climate limit year-round sun exposure. This high-potency dose (625% Daily Value) addresses deficiency more effectively than generic 1000 IU products, particularly for individuals with darker skin tones requiring longer sun exposure for natural D-3 synthesis.

Lanolin-Sourced D-3: NOW uses cholecalciferol derived from lanolin (sheep's wool), the same form your body produces naturally—far superior to plant-based D-2 (ergocalciferol) in raising blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.

Vegetarian Capsule Formula: Hypromellose (plant cellulose) capsules meet dietary preferences of Bangladesh's diverse population, avoiding gelatin-based alternatives. The minimal excipient list (microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide) ensures purity without unnecessary fillers.

Third-Party Verified Quality: Every NOW batch undergoes independent testing for potency and purity—critical in Bangladesh where supplement counterfeiting affects 15-20% of the market. Look for the GMP seal and batch number on authentic packaging.

Key Health Benefits & Why Bangladesh Needs Vitamin D-3 and K-2

Research consistently links vitamin D deficiency to multiple health challenges prevalent in South Asian populations. Here's how NOW Mega D-3 & MK-7 supports wellness:

Bone Density & Fracture Prevention: Bangladesh has high rates of osteoporosis among women over 50, partly due to low dietary calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D-3 enhances calcium absorption in the intestines, while K-2 activates osteocalcin—the protein that binds calcium to bone matrix. This synergy helps maintain bone mineral density more effectively than calcium supplements alone.

Cardiovascular Health: Vitamin K-2's role in arterial health is especially relevant given Bangladesh's rising heart disease rates. MK-7 activates matrix Gla-protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposits in arterial walls—a key factor in atherosclerosis. Studies show adequate K-2 intake supports arterial flexibility and healthy blood pressure.

Immune System Function: Vitamin D-3 receptors exist in immune cells, where they help regulate inflammatory responses and antimicrobial peptide production. Maintaining optimal D-3 levels supports the body's natural defenses, particularly during monsoon season when respiratory infections peak.

Dental Health: Both vitamins support tooth enamel mineralization and gum tissue integrity. For Bangladeshis concerned about dental health, this combination addresses underlying nutritional factors beyond oral hygiene.

Mood & Cognitive Function: Vitamin D-3 receptors in brain tissue influence serotonin production. Adequate levels help support balanced mood and mental clarity—important for professionals managing high-stress urban work environments.

How to Use NOW Mega D-3 & MK-7 - Dosage & Timing

Recommended Serving: Take 1 vegetarian capsule daily with a fat-containing meal. Both vitamins D-3 and K-2 are fat-soluble, meaning they absorb best when consumed with dietary fats (eggs, nuts, avocado, cooking oils, or full-fat dairy).

Optimal Timing: Morning or afternoon with breakfast/lunch works well for most users. Taking with your largest meal of the day maximizes absorption. Avoid taking on an empty stomach, which reduces bioavailability by up to 30%.

Consistency Matters: Vitamin D levels build gradually over 2-3 months. For best results, take daily without skipping doses. Consider setting a phone reminder or pairing with an existing habit (morning tea, after brushing teeth).

Storage Instructions: Keep in a cool, dry place after opening. Bathroom cabinets (high humidity) are not ideal—store in bedroom drawers or kitchen cupboards away from direct sunlight. The dark amber bottle protects contents from light degradation.

Who Should Consult a Doctor First:

• Pregnant or nursing women (vitamin K may affect newborn clotting factors)
• Anyone taking blood thinners (warfarin, Coumadin®, heparin)—vitamin K affects clotting
• Individuals with hypercalcemia, kidney disease, or hyperparathyroidism
• Those using thiazide diuretics or topical psoriasis medications
• If scheduled for surgery, discontinue 2 weeks prior

Price, Value & Availability in Bangladesh

Transparent Pricing

Retail Price: ৳2,930 for 60 vegetarian capsules (2-month supply)

Cost Per Serving: ৳48.83 per day—less than a cup of premium tea for comprehensive bone and heart support. When compared to buying separate high-quality D-3 and K-2 supplements, this combination offers 25-30% better value.

Why This Price Point? Authentic NOW Foods products reflect premium ingredient sourcing (patented MenaQ7®, USP-grade cholecalciferol), rigorous third-party testing, and GMP manufacturing standards. Beware of suspiciously cheap "NOW" products under ৳2,000—these are often counterfeits with unverified potency and purity.
