For pescatarians and keto adherents wanting clean, effective beauty support, this delivers the complete formula without fillers.

Magnesium is the overlooked electrolyte in most hydration discussions. Nielsen and Lukaski (2006) demonstrated that magnesium depletion impairs exercise performance independent of hydration status, and sweat losses deplete intracellular magnesium measurably.

Backed by 2,173 reviews at 4.7 stars.

Sports Research Vitamin D3 + K2 at 10,000 IU earns a strong recommendation for the specific population it targets: adults with documented vitamin D deficiency, those recovering from insufficiency, or individuals in northern latitudes with minimal sun exposure who need a serious therapeutic dose. The lichen-sourced D3 fills a genuine market gap for vegans who previously had no access to high-potency D3 in plant-based form. The inclusion of K2 as MK-7 alongside MCT oil represents evidence-informed formulation — both additions have documented benefit for maximizing D3 effectiveness and safety. The 4.8-star rating across 1,100+ reviews is exceptional social proof for a relatively new SKU.

Cold-pressed extraction without hexane is the key differentiator — preserving the natural fatty acid profile and avoiding solvent residues common in cheaper extraction methods.
