A D3 and K2 (MK-7) liquid supplement ideal for children, but its low adult-equivalent dosages and very high price per serving make it unsuitable for comprehensive adult bone and heart health goals.
JoySpring Vitamin D For Kids provides a synergistic blend of Vitamin D3 (1000 IU) and Vitamin K2 (25 mcg MK-7) in a liquid format, which is convenient for children and allows for flexible dosing. This combination is highly recommended by nutritionists for proper calcium absorption and distribution, benefiting bone development. However, while suitable for children, the Vitamin D3 (1000 IU) and especially the Vitamin K2 (25 mcg MK-7) dosages are significantly below typical adult recommendations for targeted bone and cardiovascular support. The most significant drawback is the exorbitant price per serving ($2.91), which makes it an extremely expensive option if considered for adult use, or even long-term children's use, especially given the low number of servings per bottle.
- Combines Vitamin D3 and K2 (MK-7), providing essential synergistic nutrients.
- Liquid form allows for easy and flexible dosing, suitable for children.
- MK-7 is the preferred form of K2 for systemic benefits.
- Dosages (1000 IU D3, 25 mcg MK-7) are too low for effective adult bone and cardiovascular health support.
- Extremely high price per serving, making it very uneconomical for regular use.
- Limited number of servings per container (12), resulting in frequent repurchase.
- While safe for children, adults seeking therapeutic benefits for bone or heart health will find the dosages inadequate.

Vitamin K 60.0
It contains K2 as MK-7, which is a good form, and combines it with D3. However, the K2 dosage is on the lower side within the Vitamin K collection, especially considering its primary intended use.
Goals
Bone Health 55.0
The D3 and K2 work synergistically for bone health, but the low dosages, particularly of K2, are not optimized for significant adult benefits, despite being appropriate for children.
Heart Health 55.0
The D3 and K2 blend supports heart health, but the minimal K2 dose and high cost per serving limit its practical utility for comprehensive adult cardiovascular care.
Cardiovascular Support 55.0
While the combination is theoretically beneficial, the low K2 (MK-7) dose makes its contribution to active cardiovascular support less impactful for adults requiring substantial nutrient intake.
