EDIT: Early in the video I said that calcium in the arteries is problematic and is hypercalcemia. I should've said that 'excess' calcium in the vasculature is problematic and is then classed as hypercalcemia.
Can you please do video on collagen supplements link to hypercalcaemia. Thank you
There's no good collagen supplements. They aren't linked to hypercalcaemia.

I read somewhere that blood vessel damage is what causes the body to put Calcium along the walls to keep them from leaking/bleeding. I havent remembered the causes that necessitate this type of calcification.
@@AndroidSamsung-qz9pl so mechanical damage + inflammation + immune response is the cause of atherosclerotic plaques. Calcium plays a role in that formation because it's found in the plaques.
The last doctor I mentioned K2 to, said " K2? Never heard of it." He then proceeds to look it up on webmd.
If only doctors were taught nutrition in med school, we would all be healthier!
We are, but unfortunately it takes so long for knowledge to go from the research to university which is the issue.
Yes it has been hard to find doctors who have heard of K2, and overseas pharmacies rarely have any.
We dont need doctors for health that is the issue, there is a very minuet amount of them that have a clue
Yeah I broke my collarbone and my doctor was telling me to take D3. I told him I take D3 and K2 and he scoffed at me. Trying to learn what to do to heal my collarbone cause my doctor hasn't given me much information.
@saskhiker3935 You are doing well by taking vit D and K2. Eat enough protein, calcium and magnesium rich foods like dairy, green leafy veg, tinned sardines, fish, nuts and seeds. Also, have a few prunes for boron and vitamin c rich foods. You can also try horsetail herb which has lots of silica which is good for bone building. Bone repair takes time. Wishing you well.
I've seen so many videos that should save my life, I'm now prepared to live forever.

I would mention that Dr. John Campbell has been speaking heavily on D3 & K2 since 2020.
I'm a Black RN who take mega Doses of vitamin D3 with K2 I also use magnesium oil periodically. My vitamin D level I was told it was too high according to therapeutic levels however my calcium levels are within normal limits. I have never contracted Covid while working even though I've never the taken the shot that is due to having a a strong immune system.

You take k2
"if you think that humans need to live plant based, you need to grow up".
I had this doc that was always pushing plant based on me. The only thing he DID do right was alert me to a very VERY low D3 blood level. He really improved my life in that way. But he never mentioned K2.
He was also big into pushing Statins on me even thou I had really bad reactions to it. Kept pushing statins and veganism. He retired from medicine and opened up an marijuana dispensery. I now have a doc that is ok with me not taking statins and eating keto and meat. This CURED my pre-diabetic blood sugar problem as I dropped the amount of bread/pasta, had increased energy which got me into the gym and the lap pool and I lost 50 lbs. D3, K2, and more meat based proteins now has me lifting weights, threadmill, and lap swimming several times a week (like 5 or 6 days/week). To keep the arteries good I take the Flushing type Niacin.
I have energy, I feel good. and I'm 70 years old. I weigh 203 lbs (naked) and 5'9" high and it's mostly muscle from weight lifting.
Exact same stats except 195lbs. Was put on D3 and B12 for deficiencies. Triglycerides and cholesterol through the roof. Genetic. Had a problem with statins not working until one did - branded (now generic) Lipitor. Now numbers are normal. Changed my diet to lose 65 lbs successfully. Diabetes still present, but not as severe. Even if all carbs eliminated I still need some insulin. Doc suspects a combo of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Came across something that practically eliminated insulin. Oatmeal - 1/4 cup at breakfast. Tried another with dinner to even smaller effect. Have to keep portion small as I don't want weight gain due to excess carbs. I have a little bit of 'treats' once or twice a week to stay in this food maintenance regimen. I eat two small meals a day.
If you have a balanced vegetarian diet, and keep yourself fit then there should be no problems. Consuming meat is not a magic bullet.
Right, just like India? With one of the highest rates of obesity and diabetes?
So don’t supplement with calcium, D3, and vitamin k? Will it accelerate calcium buildup in the coronary arteries?
@@Dr_Abs My take on Indians having the highest rates of obesity and diabetes is linked to high Carbs/sugar diet and perhaps the wrong oils in cooking. White rice for example could be eaten in small amounts, avoid food with added sugar and bad oils such as frying in sunflower or vegetable oils. Perhaps cooking differently? too much white salt is another problem with High blood pressure issues? using less salt that is say raw celtic sea salt or original pink Himalayan as examples.
I was told that K2 assisted with the absorption of D3, but this video explained the relationship - thank you
Another important point is that many common foods contain lots of K2.
For example, 1 egg yolk contains 67 to 192 mcg of K2. Other foods high in K2 are cheeses, broccoli, canola oil, olive oil, etc.
I get more than the daily RDI through eggs alone and I also eat broccoli every day.
LOL you were told wrong or you misheard as D3 helps with K2 absorption, and K2 removes calcium from the arteries as my Vo2max indicates

I did nearly switch off because of the “they are talking rubbish” type comments. The science can be explained without personalising and ridiculing “incorrect” or out of touch thinking. Doesn’t endear the presenter to the audience.
However it does show he isn’t a robot and can have an opinion/share facts in his own way…very well I might add
I subscribed because your the only one that actually describes it the way it is ment to be absorbed in the mind . Thank you. You have a definite gift for holding one's attention @@Dr_Abs
lol o P o
@Dr_Abs I can't understand what you are saying; it's way above my head.
I've been taking 1600iu for several years and I've now been diagnosed with mitral valve regurgitation and am also having circulation issues in my legs.
I'm quite worried as to whether I should be taking vitamin D at all. My maternal grandfather died from arteriosclerosis resulting in a heart attack. Venous problems are also present in my genes. And I'm now being told I'm pre-diabetic. I see that you are a private doctor and I doubt that I could afford your services but I just wondered if you would respond to this message.
Also take magnesium for cramps
Glysinate for better absorbsion, excuse spelling :)
@@mumac8865I take glyconate
Or in my case, take salt. Magnesium never helped my cramps but salt works like magic; around 15 minutes.
Thank you for elaborating on the importance of taking D3 with K2. Some doctors never explained the reason behind it and why it is important to take both and some are fear-mongering.
My consultant cardiologist, while reviewing my CT-angiogram results, said my calcium score (as I recall around 400) was on the 62nd percentile….he didn’t know whether that was better than average or worse 😢that’s the sort of expertise you get when paying top private sector fees….by the way, 3 months after this review I had a significant heart attack with 100% LAD blockage and 80% right side artery. Fortunately I’m still alive…..
Dr. Berg and many others, have covered this very issue, extensively. However, we can never have too many doctors spreading that message. Lives are literally being saved by these revelations; thank you.
Haven't seen Berg go into the depth of hydroxyapatite inhibition using gla residues so thanks for letting me know, I'll take a look 🙏
Dr. Berg’s own son said he is just scamming people to sell his supplements. His son said he takes other people’s studies and acts as though he has done the work to provide that info. Do not trust anything Dr. Berg says, he only wants your money to give to Scientology.
Yes, that’s who I learned to take my K2 with D3 years ago! Dr Berg kept it more simplified but emphasized the importance of using them together. Dr Abs is quite in depth with the process.
Had no idea about that but I'm also not surprised! This is why I don't sell anything or have any affiliate links and prefer to just give information for free
@@Josephine_777no one needs to stick to the lane the gatekeepers demand they stay in. That's been part of the problem with healthcare in general. Anyone who can cite their sources and effectively communicate and make a logical case based on findings should be opening their mouth. Instead of us blindly trusting a cartel over health that demands we shut up and obey them.
Anyone that can patiently persuade vs coerce is going to be safer bet. The very act of needing to make people comply is a tel that their argument is weak or outright wrong and they know it. Good science and good ideas don’t have to be mandatory.
Berg for example has been an amazing resource to me on this very topic. He has been pounding the table in taking k2 as mk7 for many many years. Yes he kept it simpler. I love the detail Abs is sharing with. But truth be told if I wasn't a berg junkie, I wouldn't be able to comprehend what abs is talking about. I don't take what berg says blindly either. I read the linked studies he lists and sometime come to slightly different conclusions than him based on other sources. And that's ok. The fact that berg and abs talk to us like adults and let us decide is gold. It's worth all the cartel controlled doctors in the world that can't express a different view or nuance like we saw during the covid years. If that didn't make it clear how compromised and dysfunctional gatekeeper health system is nothing will. The rebels to the gatekeepers have been proven right in staggering numbers and the establishment has been shown to have openly lied to our faces. Never again. Learn you lessons.
IF your parents worked hard and financed your medical school...Please thank them for us!
Thank you for this. Now i understand why vitamin d3 by itself makes me feel sick, but when i switched to a d3 +k2 supplement i felt AMAZING. As an experiment i went back to d3 alone & felt like crap. But i thought it was all in my head. This is the confirmation i needed to know im not going crazy!
Thank you for watching, glad it helped you :)
D3 alone makes me feel awful too! Hmmm...

I started taking D3 5000 units a day for two years without K2. My coronary calcium score went from 30 to 110 freak me out. I started on K2 now it’s down to 90.
I have never heard of coronary calcium. Usually they do an angiogram in a hospital operating theatre to check the condition of arteries. This comment sounds like propaganda from a troll who is working for Big Pharma. This person's comment is nonsense.

I noticed calcium deposits showing up in breast tissue & abdominal artery x-rays, so I immediately stopped calcium supplementation & added Vitamin K2 with Mk-7 to my regimen, daily. I should also add that I have taken vitamins all my adult life, and large daily supplement of Vitamin D3 since 2007. I am confident that the current regimen will help decrease the calcium deposits in those areas where unwanted, and send it into the bones where it belongs! Now I get adequate calcium from my daily diet, and I am doing great! I feel I was duped into taking large calcium supplements by the medical profession throughout all my childbearing years!
I might add that I also take magnesium Glycinate.
Do you still take vit d as well with your k2?
@@theresegilbertson3626 Yes ma’am! D3, K2, magnesium…..they all work synergistically!

On the subject of K2... if you have a reasonably healthy diet, you probably don't need to supplement K2 at all.
Just google "foods high in K2".
1 egg yolk contains 67 to 192 mcg of K2. Other foods high in K2 are cheeses, broccoli, canola oil, olive oil, etc.

Am I doing the right thing taking D3 and K2 at opposite ends of the day. Many thanks for responding.
Excellent description, accurate and complete, without any fluff, of the biochemistry behind calcium transport. TY for presenting it this way. I wish more presenters would use this approach.
You mentioned early in the video that you do not like the Thorne liquid MK-4 product, but never stated why. Please describe. I have used this product, plus Nutricost MK-7, but I think your suggestion of the LEF Super K points to a better combo product and I will switch to it when I run out of the MK-7. Overall, the pricing per dose is very similar.
Another thing that you could have mentioned, but probably omitted for time, is that glutamate residue gamma-carboxylation to GLA by K2, (which yields a malonate moiety chelation site) is also important for activating the calcium binding proteins found in the urine, of which there are over 1200 species, which help to prevent the formation of oxalate kidney stones.
Thank you 🙏
Yeah I don't like the Thorne one because it only has one form of K2.
Yeah you're right about the binding too, but didn't want it to be an hour long haha
Thank you for your knowledge and honesty. Much appreciated.

Read the transcript
When a GP was recently reviewing the results of some blood tests he ran, he commented that my Vitamin D levels were "high" at 240, stating that "normal" levels were 50-200 and said that I was obviously supplementing (which I am, on the advice of a previous physician) and told me to stop. I responded that I am also supplementing with K2 to go along with the D3, and he looked at me strangely and responded nonchalantly that "K2 comes from your diet; there is no need to supplement with it". This particular doc doesn't even know me and has no idea of my diet and/or lifestyle; for all he knows I could be a strict vegan who gets little or no K2 from my diet. I have previously had full cardio scans done (CT scans & ultrasounds) following a SVT event and the cardiologist commended me on my arteries being clear, with a low calcium score and only very minimal soft plaquing for my age (I am in my mid 50's). Oh, and I rarely come down with colds or the 'Flu and was unaffected during the pandemic when everyone else around me was being stricken with Covid.
Bravo for you! I hope I can acquire a similar CAC score and “good arterial health” whenever I can get tested! I had the same experience during all the bad Covid years, and very thankful that I kept my D3 intake up “above average.” I am currently taking 100mcgs. K2 with Mk-7 twice a day, along with a total of 6,000 I.U.’s of D3, and around 240 mgs. Of magnesium Glycinate. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, so I do not take any additional calcium at all.
What dosage of D3/K2 do you take?
I hope that you know that your doctor is clueless

Many countries throughout the world have a very high standard of education. Depending on the country of your origin they do not know because they were not taught at school nor at home. I am a seniour citizen born and raised in AFRICA, raised by parents that were not very educated but they encouraged their children to eat healthy, our mother cooked healthy foods. I want to make an example with the USA they are terribly obese, maybe not taught at home to eat healthy, their education is very lacking and even socially they are not up to standard. Maybe your comment is geared towards the USA, are you from the USA? seems like it. Healthy eating starts at home, many of us come from homes where nutritious meals were cooked at home hence all the vitamins in our foods.

You are a treasure trove and a plethora of vital information in the field of supplements in relation to human biology.
Thanks for this video!
I supplement D3 at 5,000 IU's per day and I already knew about the importance of K2, which I also supplement at 125 mcg per day, but I did not know about the different types. My blood D3 is at 95 nmol/L. Not bad but could be a bit higher.
After watching this video, I did a little research and found I shouldn't be supplementing K2 at all!
1 egg yolk contains 67 to 192 mcg of K2 and I eat eggs every day. I actually eat 2-5 eggs per day.
I also eat a lot of broccoli, another food high in K2, and olive oil, also high in K2. In short, I'm already getting way more K2 than the RDI, without supplementing.
After listening to you, I've also decided to up my intake of D3 to 10,000 IUs per day as I could benefit from a higher blood level (140-180 nmol/L would be my preferred target) and I know I'm already getting more than enough K2 through my regular diet.
Thanks lots!
Well that's the first I ever heard an egg container over 67 micrograms of K2. It may occur in hens are fed vitamin K fortified feed but that is probably vitamin K1. ..big difference. The other foods you mention may be high in K1 ..
Certainly not K2. Go look it up.
Hi Dr. Abs, thank you for clarifying the benefits of vitamin D3 supplementation. I truly appreciate your expertise and the effort you put into clearing up some of the confusion from previous unfounded claims about vitamin D and calcification. However, I must be honest; some of the terminology you used was a bit over my head. I have a master's degree in psychology, and I'm genuinely interested in nutrition and health, and I still had difficulty following some of the detailed chemical explanations. I believe it would be incredibly helpful if you could simplify some of those terms for individuals who aren't as specialized in chemistry or medicine as you are. That way, more people could benefit from your advice. Thanks again for all the great information!
Thank you very much 😊 yeah the terminology is designed to be deep and may need a quick Google for some words. I think when I can afford it, I'll get someone to animate too for you guys 🙏
@@Dr_Abs Thank you for your kindness ✌️ 💚.

Re: hypercalcemia and D3... Mayo Clinic has published info stating that hypercalcemia is not observed below 60,000 iu/day of D3 for 3 months. No mention of K2. This suggests an extremely wide margin of safety for D3 supplementation. The old problem found with excessive dosing with cod liver oil was likely from vitamin A overload.
Definitely makes sense
I believe vitamin D is good for us but too much A is definitely bad. I've a rare brain disease called iih and we've issues with vitamin A excess so I know 1st hand how dangerous it can be! Im awaiting not for possible brain surgery to stop possible blindness due to all the csf pressure.

Amazing video! Thank you very much.
At my last visit with my new primary, when he saw my latest D3 blood serum level was 235 (55,000IU/day/2 years to treat eliminate my prostate tumors. IT WORKED!), his response was, “Wow! In all my years as a doctor (he's retiring next month) I have never seen D3 levels that high. Congratulations!"
Then he said, “You might want to take your supplementation down a notch,” (I already had a week before when I saw the results) Then he said,“But there’s nothing to worry about. Up know vitamin D3 toxicity is largely a myth, right?” I did. But it's was great to hear its from him!
I told him I was already taking 600mcg of vitamin K2 MK-7, as well as 1000mcg of K-1. So my calcium is completely normal as well.
I have other health issues I’m dealing with but I’m hopeful the rising nutrition counter-culture will steer me right.

I take D3 K2 , cod liver oil , fermented natto in powder in water and in my avocado for breakfast every morning and magnesium glycinate every night
Gosh I take all those too!
That's good, but it tells us nothing if you don't share your blood work results such as vit.D and Calcium levels, or inflammamion markers, A1C, (HDL, TG's), and what you normally eat (you could be eating cake, donuts, or ice cream every day, or could be 300-400lbs and all the supplements in the world wouldn't help you).
source of K2 is from fermented soybeans.
Its called Natto. No mention of this here.

...and also one of the highest sources of endocrine disruption that shows itself up in examples like making male vegans grow manboobs which disappear when that food is then removed from the diet.
Be careful….you could live for 236 years.
I take all that too. But, I eat Natto directly. I used to live in Japan. I learned to like it. Very healthy supper food indeed.
Thanks Dr Abs, makes a lot of sense!
Thank you Dr. Abs. We, the public, need to know about the danger you are teaching us about in this video. Other experts don't talk about it. You are a godsend.
Thankyou very informative however time stamps would be useful with a summary at end
I'll remember for next time, thanks for the idea ☺️
Thank you. I supplement with vit D3K2 with CoQ10. I cannot tolerate statins. So far so good.
Thanks for all the great advice. Will follow your recommendations and I will subscribe to your channel.😊
I majored I’m chemistry in college. I understood what you said about the metabolic pathways of calcium metabolism in the body. For the layman or even those with some degree of biochemistry knowledge, it would have been helpful to use diagrams of the metabolic pathways involved especially when you described carboxylation and calcium binding.
Vitmain D tells the calcium to be absorbed, K2 tells calcium where it has to go in the body. Know for about 20 years Patrick Halford book.
Thanks for sharing where you learnt it from 😊
Dr.Pradeep jamnadas has explained this while highlighting importance of Vitamin K2mk7.
He is a famous cardiologist in Florida.
Patrick brought out amazing info decades ago. I went to his workshop years ago, very engaging man.
No one took vitamin D growing up. Why do we have to take it now? Don’t I get enough from milk, cheese, and the sun? I go outside a lot, drink milk, and eat cheese. What happened in the world to cause us to be deficient.
@Watchoutforsnakez you don't have to. Noone is recommending taking vitamin D in the video.
Another great video! I take vit d3 and k2 from Dr. Berg. The bottle does not specify which form of k7 (as you mentioned it may not, disappointing) I will switch to your recommended brand (thank you for that 🙏) Is there also a brand of vitamin d you would recommend to go along with it?
Thank you 🙏 I personally use natursupps which is a UK website so I don't know if it's available where you are. Nutrabio is a great company with good quality ingredients if you have that available.
I also take vit d3 and k2 from dr berg but experienced intense giddiness after (it was taken with food in the morning ) - any insights on what potential reasons behind this?
Well done bro . I like the way of your explanation and I have subscribed your channel . Cheers 🍻
Hey dr. Loving your content. this video was very helpful. I'd love to know your thoughts on K-beauty as well as methylene blue. (could make a vid/post on it)
I was taking calcium OTC for bone pain during sleep and I stopped when I heard about calcium side effect. The bone pain had stopped though, but I was still taking the calcium when I heard about risk of heart attack.
Just wanted to give props because Dr. Berg has been talking about this for years on RUclips. Just commenting on your comment about when you said you’ve never seen anyone discussing this. Great advice and it confirms what I’ve already learned. Thank you.
Didn't know he talked about it on the scale of nucleation, thanks for letting me know
@@Dr_Abs I should have waited before commenting. Yes, that part was new to me. Thank you.
I see, no problem. Glad it was useful 😁
@@Dr_Abswell at least he recommended to take K2 in conjunction with D3. Still he has a combined supplement whilst it's better to take fat soluble vitamins separately.
Dr, Berg is a quack...he's been called out several times on RUclips...check out Dr. Brad Stanfield..he always backs up his views with empirical evidence and peer reviewed papers....also look at dr. John campbell......I digress....a well informed video from Dr.abs...since COVID I take 10,000 units of d3 in the morning and 200 mg of k2-mk 7 in the evening....I believe that Life Extension supplements contain magnesium stearate as a filler...I always try to obtain my supplements from reliable companies that make it very clear that they do not use magnesium stearate
Tres Interesting and enlightening. Refreshing as well. Thank you for this good food for thought
Excellent video, and it's great to find someone who explains things at the level of depth that brings a good understanding. The end of the video reveals that you are unlikely to have a problem with vascular calcification if you eat plenty of meat, dairy and eggs. That is what I have been doing in recent years, avoiding processed food, sugar and seed oils. I have been taking vitamin D since before Covid and have always had a worry that I have no idea what my vitamin D levels are and maybe they are too high. I am a lot less concerned about that having watched this video. Your comments about the lack of knowledge of many doctors and scientists doesn't surprise me at all after the deluge of nonsense most have pushed in the last few years. It's been a painful readjustment of my worldview.
As a doctor you know that Calcium is often misplaced. Meaning that it deposits in your kidney's and heart and cannot be measured via a blood test. The blood test measures calcium in your blood, not the excess calcium that has been redirected in your body to go to the wrong places. If you take K2 this helps the calcium to go to the right places and not deposit in your organs.
Can K2 mk7 help to redistribute the calcium after it has been deposited in organs? I took high doses of D3 for years before learning about K2. In that time I had a CAC scan which showed high (1000) calcification of the heart. I'm now supplementing K2 mk7 and hoping some of this calcium will now get driven into my bones and teeth. Is this possible or have I over simplified the mechanics of it?
@@bushpig6837 Good question. I think I have read that the answer is yes somewhere else but I'd like an answer to that here too.
Waiting for some one to answer this. I'm interested to know too
I had a parathyroid gland the size of a golf ball it was pulling the calcium out of my bones. My doctor ordered urine tests. I had surgery for removal and now my calcium leaves are normal.
@@bushpig6837 What you dont say is what your body size is, If you are skinny as a rake then the excess may get to your organs but 60% of body will have a slight excess fat which absorb it.
Use K2 with D3. You're welcome!
That’s not such new info. Dr Eric Berg has been saying that for quite some time.
He has left out the nucleation process for those that are interested, the depth of detail was the point of the video
Wow I just started taking that super in for another reason. I had no idea you need k2 with D3 I’ve not been taking to much D3 at the moment as the suns been shining but thanks for this video
Dr. Abs Could you please do a video about the best treatments for seborrheic dermatitis?
Here in Australia we can’t dig into blood tests the way other countries can in greater detail. I’m going for a basic test shortly. I’ve just gone back from a 2 year vegan/vegetarian diet to now eating everything grass fed beef, eggs chicken (organic) fish …not enough greens …everything except pork. How often do I need to eat meat (still not loving it but I’m trying) and roughly how much per portion …do I have to avoid legumes? Is that what you were referring to re plants getting in the way of absortion. I’m 62 slim build have noticed effects of going vegan pretty drastically in my body would love some recommendations please.
I'm in UK, can't afford regular blood tests 😂, found great info on youtubers Dr Ken Berry and Dr Robert Cwbes. I'm 72 and found keto/carnivore diet very good for me, especially using only 2 meals a day. Mainly learned to be patient, go by how you feel, every body is different. Hope you find what works for you ❤ from Scotland.
I've been taking 5000 iu of D3 for the last 6-7 years, in the winter, and 200 mcg of k2. When I take this amount, my D3 levels are around 50-60 ng/ml.
In the summertime, I don't take any supplement, but I expose myself to at least 30 minutes to 2 hours in the sun, almost everyday, and my levels are around 78 ng/ml.
My calcium levels are in the normal range. Only once, it started to get a little to high, because I was taking 3 mg of boron a day. It defenetly raised my vit D levels, but it also raised calcium.
Good to hear you stop supplements in the summer. I get my patients to do the same
interesting out the boron, I started taking 3mg a day for my receding gum on a few teeth. I started dowsing a month ago for what my body needed instead of just popping pills and its very accurate...I dont need what I think I do each day....
@@escapematrixenterprisejacq7810 Why did you take boron for you reciding gums?
Wow doctor did you ever trigger opinions, including mine...so good to promote thinking and sharing, with such great information, thank you so much Gb
Thank you for your straight talking and i did not realise the difference in k7 so orgered the one you recommend and will take it with cod liver oil ❤
Thank you :)
Great video. Subbed.
🙏🙏
You need to write or show a chart. This was only for people who are auditory learners
Bringing it to the level of foods also helps the meal planners. K2 in which plant products How much enzymes it creates or not etc etc
Yes, please show a chart! The instant summary it would show could give a global understanding in the brain. Thank you for your brilliant explanations!
Really appreciate the feedback and apologies for those who didn't get such a simple thing to help them understand. I'll take this on board moving forward 😊❤️
I'm still so new to RUclips and really didnt expect any kind of audience at all so I'm still learning 😅
@@Dr_Abs
We didn’t get “such a simple thing”… so we’re dumb? I’ve watched a few of your videos but if you’re going to insult and be mean I’ll move on to another doc 😔
Very interesting presentation, I’m almost 70 and take 2 Vit D3 and 1 Vit K2MK7 per day, I’ve been doing this for 7 months and recently when I went for my 6 monthly dental clean, the nurse who has been seeing me for over 5 years asked me what I was up to. She said “ I’ve never seen your teeth looking so good you have almost zero plaque build up” she also said my gums looked really full and healthy.
So hopefully my arteries are getting the same treatment.
Thank you for your insight Dr.
Great video thank you
I have been taking K2 along with my D3 and calcium since I learned about K2's importance.
Hope it's the right kind
Can u direct us to the right kind of D3 and K2 supplemens please? @@Dr_Abs
@@Dr_Abs what is the right kind ?
My calcium is from Acerola cherry.
Stop taking Calcium………..
So, D3 with K2!
Absolutely yes! And a Chelated Magnesium with all 3 taken at the same time.
Hey thank you so much for the amount of amazing content i really appreciate you you didn’t mention Magnesium on the video is it important to take with Vitamin D3 and K2 ? Or maybe i missed it but i really appreciate you
16:18 "... so if you think humans are designed to live plant-based, then you need to grow up, frankly". Brilliant! 🤣 Thank you, instantly subscribed!
Haha glad it was something you connected with, appreciate the sub
Yeah, I liked that too.
It is the recent "cult" : professional, highly educated, so must be vegan. Sad how humans are so easily led astray.
@@sandramorton5510specially if liberal… professional, highly-educated conservatives, don’t fall in that category… do you see the political agenda?
Look in the mirror and smile. What do you see?
A pair of frontal set eyes, meant for depth-tracking prey.
A pair of pointed Canine Teeth, meant for shredding flesh.
At the very, very least, we’re designed to be omnivores, meant to supplement plant staples with occasional bloody snacks.
I take 1000mg of D³ each day. It is important to take MK7 (K2) and the B vitamins and take them with food. My heart was just tested and it is perfect. I am 62 with CKD.
Hi… what does CKD stand for. ? Thank you ..
Chronic kidney disease
@@highlyfavored57 thank you for your reply. !
1000mg yikes
@@highlyfavored57 thank you..i also did not know that acronym
Any chance of keeping it simple for us on a budget and give us a list of what supps to take and what type/quality
A study showing that the paradoxical effects of taking D3 and K2 at the same time (available on RUclips) is antithetical to their maximum benefits, as each diminished the absorption of the other. Maximum benefits take place when taken at different times of the day, with food. As both are fat soluble vitamins. Combining both in a single oral supplement is confounding.
Absolutely, to be taken at least 6 hours apart.
So many supplement companies offer them together !
I wonder just how paradoxical they are. Meaning numbers of how one affects the other would be helpful. Because it’s a lot easier to take the d3 and the k2 together.
@@EynOdMilevado Like how they put Magnesium and Calcium in a single pill. Convenient but counterproductive.
Getting a scan that tests levels of arterial calcification is not very expensive, and can be self prescribed.
@@levansegnaro4637 oh dear, more confusion. Yes or not separately? Different opinions.
All four fat-soluble vitamins ADEK, can accumulate in subcutaneous fat. Vitamin D supplementation can cause hypercalcemia. Supplementation of any of these requires routine bloodwork for monitoring.
'can' is the crucial word - I agree
Thank you!!
I have taken coral calcium for years in rotation because my blood calcium tends to be low, causing palpitations.
I just had an echo cardiologram and my arteries and heart are healthy. I am 63.
My bloodwork showed my calcium high “normal” and my D3 very low. Now, supplementing daily with D3-K2.
I’m also polycystic and have MTHFR anomalies.
None of what the medical system says makes any sense because we aren’t the same!
Yup, everyone is different. This seems to be lost because it helps pharma companies to treat everyone the same and give them drugs.
Liked! I apply the general principle of the "power of 3" when it comes to supplementing with D. I too also combine with similar ration of K2, and also Magnesium (with either bis-glycine or taurine).
I have the MTHFR genotype meaning I must supplement with B vitamins. Everyone needs the genetic test once in their life. I do supplement with D3 and K2 among other supplements. I’m 67 and have no health issues. I had many issues when I was a vegetarian and on a low fat diet. What is the point of supplementing if you do not know what your body needs. Everyone needs the test because 50% of the population has my genotype. The homocysteine levels are high on the blood test. Get the test folks. I’m a medical professional as well. Many thanks to Dr. Abs and other brave medical professionals spreading the facts.
Thank you 🙏 good to hear you have the common sense to find out about how your body works, more people need this
What's this test?
What genetic testing are you referring to? Is this a commercial test or a medical one?
Curious on test as well.
@debbie4938, what is the name of the test?
If you made a little cartoon explaining this it would be amazing
Completely agree, unfortunately I can't animate and the channel makes barely any money to pay someone to do that. When the channel makes some funds then I'm gonna hire people to do that kind of stuff 🙏
Than he would be like every other Indian Doctor/Scientist.
Thank you!
Excellent video. I'm one of the few MDs that has been down the K2/D3 rabbit hole on my own time. I fully agree with the mechanisms you describe and appreciate that you pay attention to the details. Thank you for the Life Extensions Super K recommendation. That's good to know, as all trans MK-7 is quite hard to find amongst the hundreds of K2 supplements. I have used a K2+D3 from New Roots Herbal for about a year now with my son and it has all trans MK-7. I was annoyingly fooled last year by that exact Thorne D3/K2 drop that you showed in your video. I assumed that it would at least have a mix of cis and trans MK-7 until I read the back of the bottle one day and saw menatetrenone (aka menaquinone-4, aka MK-4). I threw it in the trash and ordered the New Roots Herbal one. I have no affiliations with any of the supplement companies mentioned, or any other company for that matter.
if you take blood thinners I was told not to take k2 because K2 makes blood clot , not in a bad way in a necessary but if you have had clots and need thinners taking it is not recommended, so I have never taken it , I take 6,000 units if D3 daily because I run low normally , I am 62 and have been taking it for about 7 years at this level , I have been tested and I have no clarification in my arteries , but I would say if you can't take K2 for medical reason get tested regularly
You were Misinformed. K2 does NOT affect blood clotting. K1 does though. BUT the newer blood thinners are not affected by K1.
However, If you are on Warfarin, which is an Old blood thinning medication, then your blood clotting IS affected.
I try to avoid certain fillers such as Maltodextrin (in Super K supplement)
considered generally safe; but has some concerning side effects esp with long term use. What are your thoughts Dr Abs?
New Subscriber, love your content!
Thank you. Yeah I try to avoid it too. However, good K2 is hard to come by and I think the benefit of a good supplement if you need it outweighs the risk of a tiny amount of malto here and there. Ideally just diet should be enough for your nutrients.
Dr Berg says Maltodextrin is a horrible filler that shoots your blood glucose higher than cane sugar so I’d find a different brand that doesn’t include that filler.
Not a lot of choice in the K2 market unfortunately
Also need to look at dose. I've got patients on cgm devices who take it and no glucose rise whatsoever
Also look at what Dr. Bergs son says about his own dad
This is very informative
Andrew Lessman from ProCaps Labs talked about this also
