8 Best Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplements 2025: Benefits, Reviews and Prices

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Most people in the United States consume less than recommended amounts of vitamin D . An analysis of data from the 2017–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) found that average daily vitamin D intakes from foods and beverages were 4.3 mcg in men, 3.8 mcg in women, and 5 mcg (200 IU) in children aged 2–19 years ( NHANES 2017 - 2018 ). What Is Vitamin D? Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning that it dissolves in fats and oils and can be stored in your body for a long time. Vitamin D is important to the body in many ways. It helps the body absorb calcium from food and supplements. Muscles need it to move, for example, nerves need it to carry messages between the brain and every body part, and the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off invading bacteria and viruses. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body. Vitamin D Market Size The Global Vitamin D Market size was ...

If there's anything the Ozempic craze has taught us, it's that people are hungry for weight loss solutions. But as the world leans into wellness, many are now looking beyond pharmaceuticals, turning their gaze to nature's arsenal for blood sugar balance and metabolic health. The 2023 report from the World Obesity Federation estimates that the economic impact of overweight and obesity will surpass $4.3 trillion annually by 2035. In the U.S., the CDC  reports the prevalence of obesity in adults was 41.9% measured from 2017 to March 2020. This represented an increase from 30.5% from 1999 to 2000. The estimated annual medical costs were roughly $173 billion in 2019 dollars. The weight loss and weight management diet market size was valued at 192.2 billion in 2019, and is projected reach $295.3 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 7.0% from 2021 to 2027.

A meta-analysis of 3 studies (C19early 2025) concluded that CPC (CetylPyridinium Chloride) may significantly lower risk with  viral clearance . One study shows significant benefit. Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 83% [6‑97%] lower risk . Results are consistent with early treatment being more effective than late treatment. A study, published in Nature ( Takeda 2022 ) concluded that CPC (CetylPyridinium Chloride) may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection even at lower concentrations. Another team of international scientists has also demonstrated the usefulness of cetylpyridinium chloride-containing mouthwashes in inhibiting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and reducing the risk of viral transmission. The study is published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology (2022). A scientific review, published in the  Journal of Formosan Medical Association  (2022) also concluded that mouthwash containing CPC shows potential fo...

Retatrutide vs Tirzepatide vs Semaglutide (Ozempic): What's the difference?

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Introduction The landscape of obesity treatment has evolved dramatically with the introduction of advanced medical therapeutics like retatrutide (RETA, LY3437943), tirzepatide (Mounjaro), and semaglutide (Ozempic). These drugs, originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, have shown remarkable efficacy in promoting weight loss, making them game-changers for obesity management. However, each drug has unique mechanisms, benefits, and potential applications, including emerging roles in cancer prevention. This article compares retatrutide, tirzepatide, and semaglutide, highlighting their differences in mechanism of action, weight loss efficacy, additional health benefits, and side effects to help patients and healthcare providers make informed decisions.

9 Best Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplements 2025

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and Vitamin K2 are vitamin and minerals that are vital to several bodily processes. Though they occur naturally in a variety of foods, many people take supplements to help increase their intake. Benefits and uses 1. May support bone health Calcium is the main mineral in your bones, which hold more than 99% of your body’s calcium stores. Your body is constantly regenerating its bone tissue, so it’s important to consume an adequate amount of this mineral daily ( bones.nih.gov ). Magnesium plays a key role in converting vitamin D into its active form, which aids calcium absorption ( Trusted Source ). Therefore, you can minimize your vitamin D requirement by making sure you’re also getting enough magnesium. Research has confirmed higher magnesium intake helps reduce your risk of vitamin D deficiency by activating more of it.  A  groundbreaking 2017 review  compiled over 80 studies that show vitamin D3 and K2 together might be greater than...

Butter vs Margarine: Why Butter Is Better (2025)

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
In the early 1900s, Americans consumed about   18 pounds of butter   per person per year—and that doesn’t include the butterfat they got from whole milk, cream, and cheese. Today that number stands at about five pounds, a slight increase over the last few years from a low of four pounds per person per year. What happened? Why did butter consumption in the U.S. plummet? What happened is that America became electrified and stopped using candles. I am not kidding, this is the genesis of butter’s decline. An American company called Procter and Gamble had figured out a way to solidify liquid cottonseed oil—a waste product of the cotton industry—into a hard fat that could burn in candles. The process was called partial hydrogenation, which reconfigured the molecules in liquid oils into an unnatural type of fat called trans fats, which are hard at room temperature. Since their candle business was declining, Procter and Gamble decided to  promote partially hydrogenated ...

Why a Weight-Loss Pill Is Still a Big Deal — Heard on the Street — Wall Street Journal

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Weight-loss injections such as Wegovy and Zepbound have already reshaped medicine and raked in billions of dollars in sales — but they have barely scratched the surface. In the U.S. where adoption is highest, fewer than 1 in 10 adults are on a GLP-1 drug, despite nearly three-quarters being overweight or obese. Globally access is even more limited, held back by high costs, strict coverage requirements and supply shortages. A pill could change all that. Cheaper to make, easier to distribute and simpler to take, an oral weight-loss drug could finally bring obesity treatment to the masses. Wall Street, however, seems to have soured on the opportunity. On Thursday, Eli Lilly lost over $100 billion in market capitalization, with the stock falling 14% after the company reported underwhelming results for its much-anticipated pill, orforglipron. Patients on the highest dose of the drug lost an average of 12.4% of their body weight after more than a year. Lilly's injectable drug Zepbound ha...
