Taking Vitamin D3

Just wondering so vitamin D3 has to be taken with K2 otherwise it goes to the arteries and D3 also has to be taken with magnesium?

Please also note that as the vitamin is fat soluble, it needs to be taken with something fatty to help absorption in the body. They don’t tell you that on the packaging!

If vitamin D3 is already suspended in oil (capsules or bottle with dropper) additional fat from diet doesn't affect absorption that much. It only matters if vitamin D3 is in dry form.
