Plant-Based Vitamin D3 + K2 Gummies

Yes. The National Institutes of Health sets the Tolerable Upper Intake Level for adults at 4,000 IU per day. At 2,500 IU per gummy, our formula delivers a meaningful dose well within the recognized safe range. If you're already taking other vitamin D supplements or a multivitamin containing D3, factor that into your total daily intake.

Vitamin D3 levels typically begin to rise within 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use, though individual results vary based on baseline levels, sun exposure, and diet. Vitamin D is a cumulative nutrient — the goal is steady daily intake, not immediate effects. For an accurate measurement, ask your healthcare provider about a 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood test before and after 8–12 weeks of use.

Vitamin D3 and K2 are nutrients commonly recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but every pregnancy is different. Please consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement during pregnancy or while nursing.

Our formula is calibrated for adults (18+) at 2,500 IU vitamin D3 per gummy. The ingredients are clean and safe, but the dosage is designed for adult needs. For children's vitamin D supplementation, consult your pediatrician about an age-appropriate dose. Note: our gummies contain manuka honey and are not recommended for children under 12 months.

Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium from food, but it doesn't tell calcium where to go. Vitamin K2 (specifically the MK-7 form we use) activates the proteins that direct calcium into bones and teeth — and away from arteries and soft tissue. Taking D3 without K2 means you absorb more calcium, but you may not be using it where it's most beneficial. That's why the two are paired in our formula.

MK-7 is the form of vitamin K2 used in Vitamin Hive gummies. It stays active in your bloodstream up to 3 days, compared with a few hours for MK-4, which makes once-daily dosing genuinely effective. MK-7 is also produced through natural fermentation, while MK-4 is typically synthetic. Most clinical research on K2's bone and cardiovascular benefits has been conducted using MK-7.

Yes — our gummies are 100% vegetarian. The vitamin D3 is sourced from lichen (a plant), not lanolin from sheep wool. The base is organic pectin, not animal-derived gelatin. Note: because our gummies contain manuka honey, they are vegetarian but not vegan.

Yes. Our plant-based vitamin D3 + K2 gummies are gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free. They contain no wheat, barley, rye, or oats and no synthetic fillers. The full ingredient list is on every jar and on this product page.

The vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in Vitamin Hive gummies is derived from lichen, a sustainable plant source. This makes our D3 suitable for vegetarians and people who avoid animal-derived ingredients. Most vitamin D3 supplements on the market use lanolin from sheep wool; we don't.

Yes. Every batch is third-party tested for potency, purity, heavy metals, and microbial contamination. Certificates of analysis are available on request, email info@vtaminhive.com.

Our gummies are formulated by a pharmacist and manufactured in the USA in a third-party tested facility that follows current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) standards.

Three things: our base is organic pectin instead of gelatin, our sweeteners are manuka honey and organic coconut sugar instead of corn syrup or sugar alcohols, and our vitamin D3 is sourced from lichen instead of lanolin. We also use the MK-7 form of vitamin K2 (the most bioavailable) and include organic avocado oil to support absorption.
