That sounds like too much, which can cause calcium deposition in soft tissues. I'm 250 lbs / 113 kg and only take 125 μg (mcg) of D3 and 100 of K2 MK-7 once every other day (qod) because of D status for COVID prophylaxis and chronic premature distal osteoarthritis.

Calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium in balanced amounts along with K and D maximize bone health. Alkali metals supplementation alone is rarely a good idea because of the often common transports and osmotic competitions.

In general, a multivitamin, b complex, and omega 3 in the form of canned fresh sardines or anchovies (fish oil capsules are typically low in actual 3 and high in 6) is probably enough for most people.

5-10 mg/day of extra zinc during the annual cold season is fine too.

Don't supplement with E without a specific medical need.
