We currently recommend 2,000 IU of vitamin D in your multivitamin. We prefer a liquid vitamin D3. When trying to increase your bone density (and especially if you're taking extra calcium), we suggest taking a liquid vitamin K2 (MK7) supplement at around 120-240 mcg daily, on top of what is in your multivitamin. Make sure not to purchase a combination D3 and K2 supplement (the two nutrients will compete). Most physicians recommend taking 1,300 mg of calcium a day (including supplement and calcium-rich foods). Calcium cannot be absorbed at over 600 mg in a single serving. You don't have to worry about the studies where excess calcium caused arterial calcification, as long as you make sure to take your extra vitamin K2. [2019] - Mira Calton
