A convenient D3+K2 gummy option at a fair price, but clarity on the K2 form and the inclusion of sugars are minor downsides.

Flavour: unflavored
Analysis

The ZHOU D3 + K2 Strawberry Gummies provide a combination of Vitamin D3 and K2 (90mcg Menaquinone). While the gummy format is highly convenient and appealing, especially for those who dislike swallowing pills, the specific form of Menaquinone (MK-7 or MK-4) is not clearly stated, which can be a drawback for informed consumers who prefer MK-7. Gummies generally contain added sugars, which may not align with everyone's dietary preferences. The price per serving of 32 cents is reasonable for a D3+K2 gummy, but the overall efficacy and purity could be improved with more precise ingredient labeling and a less processed format.

Pros
  • The gummy format offers a delicious and easy-to-consume alternative to pills, making it ideal for individuals who struggle with swallowing capsules or prefer a more enjoyable supplement experience.
  • Combines Vitamin D3 with K2, which is a highly recommended synergistic pairing for optimal calcium utilization, supporting both bone and cardiovascular health.
  • The product is reasonably priced per serving for a D3+K2 gummy, offering an accessible option for those seeking convenience without a significant price premium.
Cons
  • The specific form of Menaquinone (K2) is vaguely listed as 'Menaquinone', without specifying if it's the preferred MK-7 or the shorter-acting MK-4, leading to uncertainty about its bioavailability and efficacy.
  • As a gummy supplement, it likely contains added sugars and artificial ingredients, which can be a concern for health-conscious consumers mindful of their sugar intake or seeking cleaner formulations.

Categories
Vitamin K 70.0
While it contains Vitamin K, the lack of specification regarding the exact Menaquinone form (e.g., MK-7 or MK-4) prevents a higher score. MK-7 is generally preferred for its systemic benefits and longer half-life.
Goals
Bone Health 75.0
This product supports bone health by combining Vitamin D3 for calcium absorption and Vitamin K2 for calcium direction. However, the unspecified K2 form introduces a slight uncertainty regarding its full efficacy compared to products with clearly stated MK-7.
Heart Health 75.0
Vitamin K2 is essential for preventing arterial calcification, thereby supporting heart health. The 'Menaquinone' form is expected to contribute to this, but without specifying MK-7, its long-term effectiveness might be less assured than a product explicitly listing MK-7.
Cardiovascular Support 75.0
The K2 component aims to provide cardiovascular support by ensuring calcium goes to bones and not arteries. The convenience of a gummy might increase compliance, but the ambiguous K2 form is a minor limitation for dedicated cardiovascular benefits.
