In order to improve the positive effects and reduce potential risks of increasing Vitamin D levels it is important to also supplement with Vitamin K2.

Vitamin D increases calcium absorption. But without enough vitamin K2 (MK-7) excess calcium will be deposited into vascular tissues instead of into the bones, increasing the risk of arterial calcification and hypertension.

See for instance https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5613455/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4566462/ for more info on why it is important to add K2 when supplementing with Vitamin D.
