Any chance you can sell your D3 without K2?

You can take 200mcg MK-7 no problem. Just take two tablets. In fact, some people want higher MK-7 doses with the same D3. There is no issue with taking two.
There is no compelling data showing that D3 absorbs better when in softgel form. I have gone through all the studies, and they don't even directly compare powdered D3 to oil. They compare different powdered forms to each other, and oil to ethanol solubilized. However, they wrote meta analyses that make conclusions based off faulty data. In fact, their own data shows that the highest increase in serum levels of D3 was from a powdered tablet form... They hand wave that away saying there were other vitamins in that tablet that must have affected it, but that's just shitty science. Even their faulty conclusion number was not significantly different in serum concentration. The issue with softgels is stability. Oils are much less stable than powders/tablets. They are also harder to formulate to get accuracy from softgel to softgel. Moreover, you can take a fish oil softgel with the D3/K2 tablet and get the best of both worlds anyway. We felt the advantages of tablet form made it a no-brainer. You can break them in half for dosing adjustability, which is not a common thing with D3 supplements. It's more stable. It's easier to be accurate. It gives you dosing adjustability. In my opinion, tablets made from D3 powder make the most sense.
