Vitamin D3 is the most common immune support supplement in the world. However, the vast majority of people taking it are unaware of a critical flaw: without Vitamin K2, D3 can lead to calcium buildup in the arteries rather than in the bones.
K2 is the biological traffic cop, ensuring calcium goes where it is needed (bones) and stays out of the soft tissues (arteries). Unfortunately, most retailers sell D3 alone, or charge an extreme premium for the D3/K2 combination.
The Supplement Auditor found that LiveGood’s Vitamin D3/K2 formula provides the necessary combined protection (using the highly bioavailable K2-7 form) for a wholesale price of just $8.50. This makes the $25+ retail price tag for competing combination products completely obsolete.
The Retail Flaw: D3 Alone is Not Enough
When you shop at a drug store, you will typically find Vitamin D3 sold in isolation. This is an incomplete formula. If you are serious about protecting your long-term cardiovascular health while supporting immunity and bone density, the D3 and K2 combination is non-negotiable.
The high retail price for a D3/K2 combo drives consumers back to the cheaper, less complete D3-only product. This is a profit-driven cycle that actively compromises consumer health.
The LiveGood Solution: Complete Cardiovascular Support
The LiveGood Vitamin D3/K2 audit passes because the company offers the protective combination at a price point where competitors only offer D3 alone.
Key Audit Points:
- Dose: The formula delivers an optimal dose (2000 IU) suitable for daily, long-term use.
- The K2 Factor: Uses the crucial K2-7 form, which is vital for long-lasting stability and efficacy.
- Affordability: At $8.50 wholesale, it removes the financial barrier to purchasing the necessary combination for complete immune and bone support.
Price & Ingredient Audit: The D3/K2 Premium Gap
We compare the high-end cost of specialized Vitamin D3/K2 combo products against the LiveGood wholesale model.
| Feature | Premium Retail D3/K2 (Avg. $28) | LiveGood D3/K2 Combination |
|---|---|---|
| Key Combination | D3 & K2-7 Form | D3 & K2-7 Form |
| Focus | Bone and Cardiovascular Health | Bone and Cardiovascular Health |

| Approx. Retail Price | $25.00 – $35.00 | $17.95 |
The Auditor’s Conclusion: Complete Immune Support Made Easy
This is one of the clearest examples of the retail tax. The combination of D3 and K2 is essential for long-term health, and LiveGood makes it accessible to everyone at the lowest possible price. Don’t compromise your heart health by buying a D3-only product just to save a few dollars.
