Great question! Vitamin D3 is especially important for people with MS, as keeping levels above 50 ng/mL is associated with better outcomes. Vitamin K2 is often paired with D3 to help direct calcium to the right places in the body.

Great question! Vitamin D3 is especially important for people with MS, as keeping levels above 50 ng/mL is associated with better outcomes. Vitamin K2 is often paired with D3 to help direct calcium to the right places in the body.
When choosing a D3/K2 supplement, quality matters a lot since the FDA doesn't regulate supplements as strictly as medications. Here's what to look for:
- Third-party certification on the label from trusted organizations like:
- NSF International
- U.S. Pharmacopeia
- ConsumerLab.com
- UL
- Accurate dosing — a common daily D3 dose ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 IU, but your doctor should guide this based on your blood levels
- No unnecessary fillers or contaminants Rather than recommending a specific brand, the best step is to get your vitamin D levels tested first, then ask your doctor or pharmacist what dose is right for you. They can also check for any interactions with MS medications you may be taking.
Starting with a lower dose and introducing one supplement at a time is always a smart approach!
