I have been taking K2 and D3 for over 4 years now. I am 79. About 6 years ago I had a serious heart attack brought on by arterioriolsclerosis. I needed 4 stents to survive. I was placed on blood pressure medication, statins, coumadin, etc. Since taking K2,D3 I have stopped taking the BP meds, statins, etc. I have discovered that many doctors do not know about the benefits of D3,K2 supplements or simply do not want to recommend their use. I personally take 30,000 IU of D3 along with 300 mcg of K2 on a daily basis. My blood pressure has dropped significantly to 120/75 during my use of D3,K2.

Hello doctor, thanks for this interesting topic. Some sources say that k2mk7 is blood thinning. Is that so? I take k2 together with nattokinase. Could that thins my blood too much?
Dr I am AS patient with c score of 375 . Off late I started MK7 200 mcg + D3 4000 IU and Magnesium 350 mg . No problem with kidneys or liver all reports normal . I want to reduce my Ca score . Is the dosage ok ?
My CAC is 305. I take 300 to 400mcg of K2 MK7 from natto plus 4000 IUs of nattokinase. I refuse to take D3. If I had a good reason to think I needed vitamin D then I would get a Sperti vitamin D lamp. I also take 400 to 500 mg of elemental magnesium a day. If you remove the calcium without removing the soft plaque under the calcium then you may be causing a bigger problem. This is why I take the nattokinase.
Thank you so much for your clarification about K2 MK7. Atherosclerosis is also responsible for progressing CKD. So K2 MK7 is needed to prevent atherosclerosis.

I started K2 and within just a few days, I got a bloody nose and my blood was really thin. I can also smell my blood just by breathing. Because of that, I stop taking it.
I've been on Warfaring for a number oy years. Dr's keep saying to me I need to balance the Vitamin K so that my INR doesn't go sky high. Your input please
Remember K2 comes from bacteria. Hence fermented foods have it. I am not sure about fermented fish and haven’t come across any info in my readings. I’ll keep you posted should I come across on it.
What do I need in my body to use the mk7 I supplement with ? Any prerequisites like day D3 ( which form of D3 ). Is taking Rocaltrol 0.25 preferable to Uprise D3 ? As per doc prescription ofcourse.
I have to disagree with your advice to not take K2mk7 if also taking warfarin/coumadin. As long as you get routine blood checks to measure your INR and adjust as necessary, it's fine. And the side effects of warfarin/coumadin - I have read that it interferes with calcium and how calcium gets used or dispersed in your body.
I am confused about what you've said. Is the upper tested limit for vitamin k2 360 milligrams or 360 micrograms? In this video at 7:21 you say 360 mcg, but in a more recent video, you claim that they have tested as high as 360 mg with no side effects. Since that is a 1,000 fold difference, I would like some clarification.
My cratinine level is high (187) that is why my nephrology doctor told me my CKD is in stage 4. I also have OSTEOPOROSIS since 2016 however my endocrinologist did not prescribed K2 vitamins to increase my bone mass density Since K2 is good for my OSTEOPOROSIS, my question is is K@ vitamins also good for my CKD? Please advise. Thank you I am n Asian patient.
Please forgive me, I'm not an expert. But, there seems to be recent research that shows MK4 is the preferred version of K2. It stays in the blood for a shorter time because that is the form the body absorbs best. It was also shown that K1 and MK7 both convert into MK4 meaning that that is probably what the body wants and needs most. But you should check it yourself. I am just an info consumer here!
If our phosperous levels are still good in our blood is k2 as important? Is there a way to know how much we need to take and a test to know if we are taking too much? The pills I have are 100 mcg each. Is there a reason why a person would have dozens and dozens of calcium Pelvic Phleboliths? What about calcium deposits in the lung, assuming it’s not cancer. Don’t know yet.
1. Yes. Lots of other functions of K2. 2. there is no established dosing for k2 yet. The studies showed up to 360mcg was safe. 3. This one you want to work with your doctor on. As there are lots of causes why someone will have calcium phleboliths
I have been dumping oxalates and recently started taking MSM because high oxalates cause low sulphur. Since doing that I wake up in the morning with pain in my left kidney. I'm thinking this may or may not be a good sign. Not sure yet. Maybe it just means that the oxalates are moving much like a kidney stone would. I'm also starting on Chanca Piedra to dissolve the oxalate crystals. Hydroxycitric acid is supposed to be good for that as well.
I have CKD stage 3b I have Life Extension Super K soft gel supplements. I tablet contains Vit C 10mg Vit K activity 2600 mcg Vit K1 (as phytonadione) 1500 mcg Vit K2 (as menaquione-4) 1000 mcg Vit K2 (as trans menaquione-7) 100mcg Are these ok or should I get the Vit in the form K2 only?
Happy to have found your video -very informative. You mentioned not supplementing with K2 if you are taking Warfarin.Coumarin. Is this also true for Xarelto?
Curcumin (active component of turmeric) has lots of important functions. In general, powder better than capsule. It’s great for overall health in pts with or without cod

Are these ok or should I get the Vit in the form K2 only?
Not sure why they have MK4 as it has poor bioavailability. This may be a bit overkill
Happy to have found your video -very informative. You mentioned not supplementing with K2 if you are taking Warfarin.Coumarin. Is this also true for Xarelto?
I’m not sure about that medication, but K2 doesn’t react with Eliquis. That is what my mother takes….
People on dialysis need carnitine for cardiac protection.
Hi sean. Taking turmeric capsules as supplement. Is it good or bad for ckd3 patients? Thanks for reading my message
Curcumin (active component of turmeric) has lots of important functions. In general, powder better than capsule. It’s great for overall health in pts with or without cod
@@SELFPrinciple thank you so much
Turmeric is high in oxalates. Oxalates are rough on the kidneys.
@@njsongwritertake the curcumin extract from tumeric so no oxalates
Thank you, but most of us are not Doctors and all of these videos are as if you are speaking to one. All I want to know is yes or no and how much to take if yes.
Hope there will be RCT on mega dose Vitamin K2 up to 45mg
Which foods are best to boost K2?
Natto, sauerkraut
Grass fed butter and grass fed beef.
