Why It Works
+
With its ability to regulate over 1,000 genes in the human body, vitamin D influences just about every aspect of your health. It plays an integral role in building strong bones, maintaining cardiovascular and cognitive health, and regulating your immune system.*
Despite vitamin D’s importance, a large percentage of adults (up to 50% by some estimates) are deficient, which is why supplementing with a high-potency vitamin D supplement is so important. Durable D3 COMPLEX features 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of bioactive vitamin D3. This natural D3 form has been shown to be up to 87% more effective than the synthetic D2 form at raising blood levels of vitamin D. Unfortunately, many inferior vitamin D supplements as well as foods fortified with vitamin D are made with the synthetic D2 form.*
How Vitamin D and Vitamin K Work Together to Keep You Healthy
When you take supplemental vitamin D, it’s important to make sure you’re also getting enough vitamin K. That’s because increasing levels of vitamin D in your blood typically increases calcium levels too, and you need vitamin K to help activate hormones and enzymes that make sure the calcium ends up in your bones where it belongs—instead of in your arteries, organs or other soft tissue.*
There are two primary forms of vitamin K, and it’s important to make sure you are getting adequate amounts of both in your diet. Vitamin K1 is the most common form of vitamin K found in food, primarily in leafy green vegetables. Vitamin K2 (also known as menaquinone) however, is typically found only in certain animal-derived and fermented foods that are largely missing from the modern diet, which makes K2 supplementation critically important.*
K2VITAL™ Goes Above and Beyond Other Forms of Vitamin K2
Durable D3 COMPLEX provides a powerful 180 mcg dose of highly bioactive K2VITAL™ vitamin K2 in the superior, all-trans menaquinone-7 (MK-7) form. K2VITAL™ is made with unique micro-encapsulation technology that stabilizes the seven double molecular bonds (the “7” in MK-7), resulting in a molecule with all trans isomers (the biologically active form in humans). While many supplements are made with inferior, unstable forms of MK-7 or the less effective MK-4, K2VITAL™ goes above and beyond other vitamin K2 ingredients to offer unmatched stability, purity, bioavailability and effectiveness.*
At the potent, clinically validated 180 mcg dose found in Durable D3 COMPLEX, vitamin K2 as MK-7 has been shown in multiple research studies to help increase bone mineral density and keep arteries healthy and pliable. Taken together, vitamins D3 and K2 have been shown in numerous clinical studies to support healthy bone mineralization, a healthy cardiovascular system, optimal immune function and a higher overall level of wellness.*
Synergistic Mineral Co-Factors Unlock Vitamin D’s Full Benefits for Maximum Bone & Heart Health Support
In addition to vitamin K2, this all-in-one formula is enhanced with two critical, synergistic mineral co-factors, magnesium and zinc, which are required for vitamin D absorption and activation within the body.*
Durable D3 COMPLEX is made with premium, easy-to-absorb citrate forms of magnesium and zinc to help ensure maximum effectiveness.*
Magnesium, an essential mineral involved in maintaining healthy bone mineral density and cardiovascular health, helps ensure that calcium is deposited in the right places, transporting it across cell membranes and into bone tissue.*
Magnesium also is one of the most important co-factors needed to activate vitamin D in the body. The enzymes that metabolize vitamin D all seem to require magnesium to function properly, which means that if your magnesium level is too low, your body cannot activate or process vitamin D.*
Similarly, your body needs adequate levels of zinc in order to absorb and properly utilize vitamin D. Zinc plays a major role in the regulation of vitamin D receptors within the body, so if your zinc levels are low (which many people’s are), you won’t get the full benefits of vitamin D supplementation.*
Zinc is also involved in the synthesis of collagen, a protein that supports the structural integrity of bones, and, like magnesium, is essential for proper bone mineralization, helping to build strong, healthy bones.*
If you’re looking for an advanced, expertly formulated vitamin D formula that will help you get the most out of what vitamin D supplementation has to offer for bone health, cardiovascular and cognitive wellness, immune support and more, look no further than Durable D3 COMPLEX.*

The Doctor Behind The Formula
Dr. Kevin Passero
Functional Medicine Expert, Licensed Naturopathic Physician and Durable Co-Founder
I often stress to my patients that maintaining optimal levels of vitamin D are vitally important for overall health, and proper absorption is critical. Durable D3 COMPLEX features a therapeutic dose of active vitamin D3, along with a clinically validated form of vitamin K2 plus other co-factors for enhanced absorption and an array of synergistic benefits.
Why is Vitamin D3 superior to Vitamin D2?
+
Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is a synthetic form of vitamin D and the form often used to fortify foods. It’s also the form you’re likely to get if your doctor gives you a prescription for vitamin D. It has been shown to be significantly less absorbable—and less effective—than vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).*
Vitamin D3 is the type your body produces naturally in response to exposure to sunlight. Studies have shown that D3 is much more absorbable than D2. In fact, one study found that it raised and maintained blood levels of vitamin D 87% better than D2 and produced a 2 to 3-fold increase in storage of vitamin D in the body.*
When is the best time to take Durable D3 Complex?
+
Vitamin D is fat-soluble and can be taken with or without food, but it's best absorbed when taken with a meal or snack that contains some fat. You can take vitamin D at any time of day. There’s not a time that’s considered “better” than others, but consistency is key, so find what works for you—whether that’s taking it with your breakfast or bedtime snack—and be consistent.*
Can I take more than the recommended dose?
+
Durable D3 COMPLEX is formulated with 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D because this is typically sufficient to get 98% of people into the normal range. Higher doses may cause elevated serum levels of vitamin D which is not a desirable outcome. Do not exceed 125 mcg (5,000 IU) per day unless recommended by your doctor.*
Are there any side effects?
+
There are no significant known side effects associated with taking vitamins D3 and K2. If you are taking blood thinning medication, check with your doctor about taking supplements that contain vitamin K.*
In addition, we highly recommended that you have your vitamin D levels checked periodically while taking this product to ensure that your levels remain in a healthy range.*
Pregnant or nursing women should always consult with their healthcare provider prior to using any supplements.*
Are there any other Durable products I should consider when it comes to supporting my heart and cardiovascular health?
+
Our bestselling Durable HEART® formula offers clinically proven natural support for healthy cholesterol levels, while Durable BLOOD PRESSURE® helps balance blood pressure naturally.*
Research shows that magnesium is an essential nutrient for cardiovascular health, so you might want to consider adding Durable MAGNESIUM® to your regimen for extra support.*
In addition, our Durable CoQ10® formula provides an extra-strength dose of this critical cardiovascular nutrient in an industry-leading, crystal-free form, delivered as a softgel for maximum absorption.*
If you have severe or stubborn cholesterol issues, including genetically high cholesterol, consider Durable HEART PLUS®. This money-saving bundle combines Durable HEART with Durable RED YEAST RICE. You can save up to $30 per 1-month supply vs. buying 1 bottle of each product separately. Since these two formulas help lower dangerous LDL cholesterol via different mechanisms of action, combining them can produce remarkable and comprehensive results.*
What is the Nuflow Complex that is listed in your Other Ingredients?
+
Nuflow is a natural filler and flowing agent made from the outer hulls of rice. Flowing agents are used in the production of all encapsulated or tableted supplements to help prevent the ingredients from clumping as they flow through the encapsulating machinery. Most companies use synthetic flowing agents like silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, talc or steric acid, which can potentially inhibit the absorption of the active ingredients or may be potentially harmful.*
I have been a patient for Dr Passero for more than 10 years and we have managed complex issues with natural options, one of them being the CQ10, but also the heart and the Vitamin D. I use his products because I trust his credentials and integrity completely and I know that the products he offers are the best quality
