Current good practice is to also supplement with vitamin K when taking D. This is to promote carboxylation of osteocalcin, so calcium is directed into bones rather than soft tissues[1].
An editorial arguing from animal models is not “current good practice”.
Additionally, please no one take vitamin K supplements without speaking with your physician first. They’re a direct reversal agent for a class of anticoagulants, the prime example of which is warfarin. It’d suck if you accidentally had a stroke or pulmonary embolism because of a random internet comment.
I'd go further and say you that, if you're on medication, you shouldn't take any supplements without first checking with your doctor.
With regards to vitamin K, all the versions of the supplement I've seen have a specific warning on the bottle that they're not to be used if you're also taking anticoagulants.
