How we verify

The brand submits the formula. We read the supplement facts panel and weigh dose, form and synergy against the clinical evidence. Labs test. IngredientMD verifies. The fee pays for review time, never for the outcome.

In adults with excess body weight, calcium supplementation produced small reductions in body weight and body fat compared with placebo.

Meta-analysis
Vitamin D3

Meta-analysis, 2024

Across 10 trials in 318 athletes, vitamin D3 raised blood vitamin D by about 14.8 nmol/L and hinted at better muscle strength, though few trials leave that uncertain.

Frontiers in Nutrition
Vitamin D3

Randomised trial, 2025

Vitamin D3 supplementation changed the inflammatory protein CHI3L1 and oxidative stress markers in adults with a chronic demyelinating condition. These are markers, not clinical outcomes.

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports
Strontium

Randomised trial, 2017

Over one year in women after midlife with lower than normal bone density, a nightly combination of melatonin, strontium citrate, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 raised lumbar spine bone mineral density by 4.3% and left femoral neck by 2.2% compared with placebo, so the effect belongs to the blend rather than to strontium alone.

Strontium

Meta-analysis, 2019

Across 30 randomised trials, no difference was detected between strontium, potassium and calcium sodium phosphosilicate toothpastes for tooth sensitivity at 2, 4 and 8 weeks, and the placebo response itself was large.

Journal of Dentistry
Vitamin K2

Systematic review, 2026

The authors report that effects on glycaemic measures differ across groups with differing baseline blood sugar status, so results are not uniform across populations. The outcomes assessed are blood markers.

Studied together

The combinations the trials actually measured.

Two pairings in this formula have been studied as combinations in human trials. Each finding below is what a named study measured, cited and dated, never written by the brand.

  • Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2Bone

    In a meta-analysis of eight randomized trials, vitamin K2 taken together with vitamin D raised total bone mineral density and lowered undercarboxylated osteocalcin, a marker of vitamin K status.

  • Calcium + MagnesiumStrength

    In a 12-month randomised, double-blind trial, 98 adults aged 50 and over drank a litre a day of either a naturally calcium- and magnesium-rich mineral water or a low-mineral water. The mineral-rich group had fewer falls at the 6-month assessment and higher appendicular muscle mass, with the minerals delivered as drinking water rather than a capsule.

  • Vitamin D3about 3 months of daily useBuilds with daily use

    In the trial record, blood vitamin D rises for about 3 months of daily vitamin D3 and then holds at a plateau, near 69 nmol/L at 1,000 IU a day, from a starting level near 41 nmol/L.

  • Vitamin K1cleared from plasma within hoursMeasured within a day

    In a stable-isotope study, 10 healthy adults aged 22 to 31 took labelled vitamin K1 for six days and then an intravenous dose to resolve its disposal kinetics. Plasma vitamin K1 cleared with half-times of about 0.22 and 2.66 hours, and absorption of an oral dose was about 13 percent.

    Promising
  • Vitamin K2about four weeks of daily useBuilds with daily use

    A double-blind randomised dose-finding trial gave 60 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 69 either 0, 50, 100 or 200 micrograms of menaquinone-7 daily for four weeks on a controlled diet. The ratio of carboxylated to undercarboxylated osteocalcin rose dose dependently, with significant differences from the 0 microgram group at 100 and 200 micrograms. A companion 12-week trial in 120 people aged 20 to 69 confirmed the change at 100 micrograms daily. Both studies were run by authors affiliated with the R and D division of J-Oil Mills. An independent 8-week double-blind trial in 55 healthy prepubertal children found the same direction at 45 micrograms daily. What was measured is a blood marker of vitamin K status, not bone density and not a sensation.

    Promising
  • Vitamin K2three years of daily use, with measurements at one, two and three yearsBuilds with daily use

    A double-blind randomised trial gave 244 healthy postmenopausal women either placebo or 180 micrograms of menaquinone-7 daily for three years, with bone mineral density measured by DXA at baseline and after each year. Menaquinone-7 decreased the age-related decline in bone mineral content and bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, but not at the total hip. The effect is a slowed decline rather than a gain, and the trial ran three years rather than weeks.

    Promising
  • Calciumwithin about one to six hours of a single doseMeasured within a day

    A randomised cross-over trial in ten women of mean age 69 gave a single 500 mg dose of calcium as citrate fasting, citrate with a meal, fortified juice or a dairy product meal, with blood drawn before and at 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours. Serum ionised and total calcium increased significantly from baseline over six hours, with the rise similar after fortified juice, delayed when citrate was taken with a meal and smaller after the dairy meal. A separate double-blind cross-over trial in 25 postmenopausal women measured parathyroid hormone and a bone resorption marker 12 hours after a single calcium dose. Ten participants is a small sample, and what moved was blood chemistry, not a sensation.

    In a randomised double blind placebo controlled trial, 50 women with photodamaged facial skin took 10 mg of silicon a day as choline stabilised orthosilicic acid, or placebo, for 20 weeks. Skin roughness rose in the placebo group and fell in the supplemented group, with the change from baseline significantly different between groups for two of the roughness parameters, and self rated brittleness of hair and nails was lower at 20 weeks than at baseline in the supplemented group. Serum silicon was higher in the supplemented group at 20 weeks. The nail and hair readings were visual analogue self ratings, not instrument measurements. The window is recorded for soluble orthosilicic acid, which is the form the trial fed.

    In a randomised double blind placebo controlled trial, 48 women with fine hair took 10 mg of silicon a day as choline stabilised orthosilicic acid, or placebo, for 9 months. Hair cross sectional area rose significantly against baseline in the supplemented group and not in the placebo group, and the fall in elastic gradient was smaller in the supplemented group, minus 4.52 percent against minus 11.9 percent. The effects are modest, they come from one trial, and the measurement was made on hair fibres rather than on how hair looked.

General timing

How each ingredient usually behaves over time.

8 ingredients, from each one's own page.

  • Vitamin D3About six to twelve weeks

    25-hydroxyvitamin D climbs over roughly six to twelve weeks of daily dosing before it plateaus. It's a blood level you watch rather than a feeling.

    Its own page, the plain answer on timing

  • Vitamin K1Within days

    Clotting factor carboxylation responds within days, and circulating phylloquinone tracks what you ate this week. It reads on a lab measure rather than as a feeling.

    Its own page, the plain answer on timing

  • Vitamin K2Days, not hours

    Days for absorption, weeks for the marker. Undercarboxylated osteocalcin falls across roughly four to twelve weeks of daily intake, and that is a status marker rather than an outcome.

    Its own page, the plain answer on timing

  • Calcium

    No acute sensation. Parathyroid hormone responds within hours, while bone density shifts over a year or more of steady intake, so this reads on a panel and a scan.

    Its own page, the plain answer on timing

  • Magnesium

    A looser stool can turn up the same day at the higher end. Sleep and cramp changes usually settle in across two to four weeks, because it is refilling a body-wide store.

  • Strontium

    This works on a months to years timescale. The change is read on a bone density scan rather than noticed, and even then the reading needs correcting first.

  • Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)

    The animal-sourced form of vitamin D, made in skin under UVB light and produced commercially from lanolin. Fat-soluble, so it travels with dietary fat and is stored in body fat.

    Fits
    Raising and holding vitamin D status, and the form most supplement trials use.
    Trade-off
    Being fat-soluble it accumulates with sustained high dosing, so intakes are set against the tolerable upper level rather than topped up freely.

    In a 12-week double-blind randomised controlled trial in 108 young women in urban Bangalore, most of whom began vitamin D-deficient, daily vitamin D3 at 400, 600 or 800 IU in a fortified wafer raised serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone fell over time, and effects on bone-turnover markers were modest and not dose specific. The 800 IU dose brought 65 percent of participants to sufficiency.

Studied alongside this brand's other formulas

Where two of this brand's products carry actives the literature has read together, the pairing and its basis are below. The evidence word is the corpus row's own confidence, never a score.

Bone Strength Take Care + Every Man's One Daily MultiEstablished

Active vitamin D switches on the calcium-binding proteins and channels in the gut lining that carry calcium across the intestinal wall, so the body absorbs far more of the calcium it takes in. With too little vitamin D, much of a calcium dose passes straight through unabsorbed.

Established biochemistry. No combination trial has tested this exact pairing.
