Practitioner-Only Brand
Designs for Health is a practitioner-only brand. This product is available exclusively in-store at The Vitamin Outlet and is not available for online purchase. Please consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use.
Description
Designs for Health ADK-Evail is a practitioner-formulated, fat-soluble vitamin supplement combining vitamin A, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 to support bone health, calcium metabolism and general health and wellbeing.
Each capsule provides 1,000 IU vitamin D3, 120 micrograms vitamin K2 (MenaQ7®) and 2,500 IU vitamin A, delivering three complementary nutrients involved in maintaining normal physiological functions.
Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus, helping maintain normal calcium levels in the body. Adequate vitamin D is important for healthy bones, muscle function and general wellbeing.
Vitamin K2, supplied as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), contributes to the normal utilisation of calcium through its role in activating vitamin K-dependent proteins involved in bone mineralisation.
Vitamin A supports healthy skin, mucous membranes, vision, immune function and reproductive system health.
Together, these fat-soluble vitamins provide nutritional support for bone density, bone strength, mineralisation, muscle function and the maintenance of healthy body systems.
ADK-Evail is intended for practitioner-guided supplementation, particularly where an individual's nutritional requirements or existing supplement regimen warrant professional assessment.

What Makes It Different?
Three Complementary Fat-Soluble Vitamins
ADK-Evail combines vitamins A, D3 and K2, which perform distinct but complementary functions in maintaining normal health.
Vitamin D supports calcium absorption, vitamin K contributes to the normal function of proteins involved in bone mineralisation, and vitamin A supports healthy vision, skin, mucous membranes and immune function.
Vitamin D3 – Supports Calcium Absorption
Each capsule contains 25 micrograms of colecalciferol, equivalent to 1,000 IU vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus from the digestive tract and helps maintain normal calcium levels in the body.
Adequate vitamin D is essential for maintaining normal bone mineralisation and healthy muscle function.
Vitamin K2 – MenaQ7® Menaquinone-7
Each capsule provides 120 micrograms of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), supplied as MenaQ7®.
Vitamin K is required for the activation of vitamin K-dependent proteins, including osteocalcin, which is involved in normal bone mineralisation.
Vitamin K also contributes to normal blood clotting. People taking warfarin or other vitamin K-sensitive anticoagulants must seek medical advice before using this product.
Vitamin A – Supports Vision, Skin & Mucous Membranes
ADK-Evail contains 1.38mg of retinol palmitate, equivalent to 750 micrograms retinol equivalents (2,500 IU) of vitamin A.
Vitamin A is essential for normal vision, immune system function, cellular differentiation and the maintenance of healthy skin and mucous membranes.
It also contributes to normal reproductive function.
Because vitamin A is fat-soluble and can accumulate in the body, total intake from food and other supplements should be considered.
Bone Density, Strength & Mineralisation
Vitamins D3 and K2 have complementary roles in normal bone physiology.
Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium, while vitamin K contributes to the activation of proteins involved in bone mineralisation.
Maintaining adequate levels of these nutrients supports normal bone health, although supplementation does not necessarily increase bone density in individuals who already have sufficient vitamin status.
Muscle Function & Strength
Vitamin D is involved in normal muscle function and neuromuscular processes.
Maintaining adequate vitamin D status supports healthy muscle function, particularly where dietary intake or vitamin D levels are inadequate.
Cardiovascular Nutritional Support
Vitamin K-dependent proteins participate in physiological processes associated with calcium regulation in vascular tissues.
However, evidence that vitamin K2 supplementation prevents arterial calcification or cardiovascular disease remains insufficient. ADK-Evail should not be considered a treatment for cardiovascular conditions.
Practitioner-Only Supplement
ADK-Evail is supplied through practitioner channels, allowing healthcare professionals to assess individual requirements, existing medications and the suitability of fat-soluble vitamin supplementation.

FAQ
What is Designs for Health ADK-Evail?
ADK-Evail is a practitioner-only supplement combining vitamins A, D3 and K2 to support normal bone health, calcium metabolism, muscle function and general wellbeing.
What vitamins does ADK-Evail contain?
Each capsule contains 750 micrograms retinol equivalents of vitamin A, 1,000 IU vitamin D3 and 120 micrograms vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MenaQ7®).
Why are vitamins D3 and K2 combined?
Vitamin D3 supports dietary calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 contributes to the activation of proteins involved in normal bone mineralisation. These vitamins have complementary roles in maintaining healthy bone physiology.
Does ADK-Evail support bone density?
Vitamins D3 and K2 contribute to processes involved in maintaining normal bone health and mineralisation. However, supplementation does not necessarily increase bone density in people who already have adequate nutrient levels.
What is MenaQ7®?
MenaQ7® is a branded source of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), a form of vitamin K2. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the function of vitamin K-dependent proteins involved in bone metabolism.
What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?
Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is commonly found in leafy green vegetables, while vitamin K2 refers to a group of menaquinones found in certain fermented and animal-derived foods. Both contribute to vitamin K-dependent physiological processes.
Does vitamin K2 direct calcium into bones and away from arteries?
Vitamin K2 participates in the activation of proteins involved in calcium-related processes in bones and vascular tissues. However, describing it as directly moving calcium from arteries into bones oversimplifies its biological role. Clinical evidence that supplementation prevents arterial calcification remains limited.
How much vitamin D3 does ADK-Evail provide?
Each capsule provides 25 micrograms of colecalciferol, equivalent to 1,000 IU vitamin D3.
Does vitamin D3 support muscle strength?
Vitamin D is important for normal muscle function. Maintaining adequate vitamin D status supports healthy muscles, particularly in people with insufficient vitamin D levels.
Why does ADK-Evail contain vitamin A?
Vitamin A supports normal vision, skin health, mucous membrane integrity, immune function and reproductive processes.
Is 2,500 IU of vitamin A a high dose?
Each capsule provides 750 micrograms retinol equivalents of preformed vitamin A. This is close to the recommended daily intake for many adults, so additional vitamin A from other supplements should be considered. The amount is below the usual adult tolerable upper intake level, but suitability depends on individual circumstances.
Can I take ADK-Evail with warfarin?
Do not take ADK-Evail while using warfarin without medical advice. Vitamin K can interfere with warfarin's anticoagulant effect, potentially affecting blood clotting control.
Can I take ADK-Evail during pregnancy?
Consult your healthcare professional before use. ADK-Evail contains preformed vitamin A, and excessive vitamin A intake during pregnancy can be harmful to the developing baby.
Does ADK-Evail contain vitamin E?
The supplied active ingredient list identifies vitamins A, D3 and K2. It also lists dl-alpha-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E, as a component present in raw materials, but no active vitamin E dosage is specified. Check the current product label for complete formulation details.
Does ADK-Evail contain sulphites?
Yes. The manufacturer identifies sulphites in the allergen information.
Is ADK-Evail suitable for vegans?
No. The supplied excipient list includes gelatin, so the product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
How should I take ADK-Evail?
Adults should take one capsule with water once daily, or as directed by their healthcare professional.
Can I purchase ADK-Evail online?
No. Designs for Health is a practitioner-only brand, and ADK-Evail is available exclusively in-store at The Vitamin Outlet. Please consult a healthcare practitioner before use.
Why is ADK-Evail practitioner-only?
ADK-Evail contains fat-soluble vitamins that require consideration of individual nutritional needs, existing supplements and medication interactions. Practitioner guidance helps ensure appropriate use, particularly in people taking anticoagulants or other vitamin-containing products.
