“Vitamin D3+K2 by Astaxin is developed to help maintain strong bones, normal muscle function, and a well-functioning immune system."
"We will soon launch additional dietary supplements under the name by Astaxin. They are complementary to our Astaxin products, which contain astaxanthin and are carefully designed to support health and well-being,” says Annelie Gunnarsson, Brand Manager at AstaReal AB.
Vitamin D3+K2 by Astaxin contains vitamin D3 produced from lichen – a plant-based and sustainable alternative to the traditional animal-derived lanolin – as well as vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MenaQ7), the most clinically documented and stable form of K2, supported by more than 20 clinical studies.
“Vitamin D helps to increase the absorption of calcium from the intestine and supports its incorporation into bones and teeth, whereas vitamin K2 facilitates the transport of calcium from the blood to the skeleton."
"Together, they support the body’s calcium balance and bone density. Vitamin D also contributes to a normal immune system and to maintaining normal muscle function.”
Vitamin D deficiency is more common during the winter months when sunlight is limited.
Older people, individuals with darker skin tones and those who spend little time outdoors or wear covering clothing year-round may also be more likely to experience vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin K is also produced by the gut microbiota, but this production is not considered to be sufficient to meet daily needs.
Meat, egg yolk, cabbage, green leafy vegetables and fermented foods are rich in vitamin K.
The need for vitamin K may be higher for people with a restrictive diet.
“An increasing number of consumers are demanding plant-based products, both for ethical reasons and because they are perceived as a more sustainable choice. Therefore, we have developed a supplement that is 100% vegan.”
Vitamin D3+K2 by Astaxin has been available at pharmacies and health food stores since February 2026.
“This launch is part of our long-term commitment to offering high-quality, research-based dietary supplements. Additional exciting launches are coming up shortly,” says Annelie Gunnarsson.
