Vitamin K2 Human Studies Show Profound Benefits

I watched quite a few videos over the past four years about vitamin D3 and K2. This is the first time that the narrator has given the amount of K2 to take each day. 120 mcg. No one else would give an amount. And this narrator did it right at the beginning of the video. Thank you!

dosages are too small. Just looking at the function of osteocalcin then you'd understand you need about 1mg (1000mcg) a day plus vitamin D for more calcium absorption

Everyday food containing vita k2 . No need for a pill.
natto, a traditional Japanese dish of fermented soybeans.
sauerkraut.
dairy products, especially hard cheeses.
liver and other organ meats.
beef.
pork.
egg yolks.
chicken.

Sir 120mg of Mg in what form is best for diabetic with bone loss, am taking 100mg*2 daily Mg oxide, is it good?

So if you’ve got calcifications in the arteries vitamin k2 ain’t gonna do nothing to help out.??

Dr. B must spend a couple of hours a day taking supplements. How does he keep up?

Hi Doc. Seems to me the best approach for determining how much vitamin D3 to consume would be to have a Vitamin D bloodwork. Even after taking Vitamin D3 5000iu w/180 mcg of K2 Mk7 for almost 2 years mt Vitamin D blood level was only 46. My wife's was 90 (very high range - but not considered an OD).

Can I take vitamins K2 when I have cancer? I can't take vitamins D as the calcium was going into my blood
Hope to hear back from u

My medical Dr told me not to take anything with VitaK due to the fact that I have had blood clots a few different times. I'm getting confused because it has great benefits, but helps clotting, and I certainly don't need any help with that. In fact, I need help NOT clotting. What do you think?

Had my teeth cleaned last week for the first time in 2 years, I had NO bone loss for the first time in my life. I'm 48 and take 200mcg of K2-MK7 a day with 20,000 D3.

Apart from calcium, does Vit K2 affect any other mineral levels such as potassium & magnesium ?

What non- flesh foods contain K2 please?

Most confusing video due to barrage of access data

Information from other studies seem to suggest that if K1 levels are higher than K2 then calcification is worse. Higher K2 and this reverses which seems to be the observation. Also since almost noone in the Western world eats enough foods with high K2 we are almost all deficient and have higher K1 levels leading us all to problems with calcification and the issues that ensues. I am taking 400ug of K2 and 8000IU D3. As a study of 1 I am much healthier than before. The D3 seems to have eradicated Hay feaver and I get almost 0 colds. Plus no more white spots on my finger nails. Its very important to have higher levels of K2 when taking D3 suppliments as D3 increases calcium uptake as well as supporting the immune system. This is the best advice I have been given in my lifetime.

damn this guy is a robot

There are no known serious side effects from taking too much vitamin K2. So unless you are on blood thinners .. feel free to take more. If you bleeding or bruising too easily from taking antioxidants daily, you can take more K2. I have taken well over 500 mg daily for 15 years.

Do you just recommend K2 mk7 or a broad spectrum K that includes mk4 and K1?

Interesting anecdote here: I've experimented with a few supplements with varying results. Initially, I tried MK-7, it didnt do much for me and gave me weird heart palpitations. I tried it 3 times with the same issue and it got progressively worse each time I did it. Honestly, not sure why but I stopped using it after that.
MK-4 though was totally different! I took it for my dental/oral health and tbh it hasn't done much in that front. But I'm also doing many different things for that. I've stopped supplementing K2 (ran out ) but will reintroduce MK4 again soon for a new experiment. Anyways, the one thing I noticed is that it had a REALLY weird mental effect. It was veryy nice, it put me in a VERY relaxed state, with a subtle pleasant feeling around my head and mentally kinda focused. It then made me really sleepy. It did this the first couple of times I used it. Interestingly enough, I gave the same supplement to 3 other people and they all experienced the exact same feeling. After 2-3 weeks it stopped having that effect. I did not take the k2 expecting any kind of effect on the brain tbh.
I was really weirded out so I looked it up later and according to an old rat study, MK-4 seems to be in much higher concentrations in the brain, relative to other tissues. (Its highest in pancreas, brain and salivary glands and far far less in other tissues).

Vit K2/MK7 give me constipation. Is this a typical side-effect? does it go away with time?

I noticed that in the first studies you mentioned that was with the MK4 version of K2 and not MK7. MK4 is vegetable derived and has a short half life compared to MK7.
Dr. Agatston (the Dr. who invented the calcium scoring index with his name) says it is impossible to remove calcium from the arteries once there. But there are others who say they personally have decreased their calcium scores by certain interventional drugs, including statins, niacin, and CoQ10. But Dr. Agatston says it isn't JUST the calcium score, it has to do with it's density, the number of plaques, and it's distribution within the arteries that is significant.

Mk4 is superior

Mk7 causes heart palpitations, look it up, many are having them. I think it depends on how much calcium you are getting; if not very much calcium, then iti's pulling it out of the heart. If you have lots of calcium probably no palpitations. I saw one person said they got heart failure from MK7 taking it so long so much.

Boron actually does what you imagine K2 does.

I am on warfarin (Coumadin). I test my INR, clotting time at home. I read a comment somewhere on you tube by a person on Warfarin who had also been taking K2 for a year.
So i started a very low dose 50 mg of k2. Checking my INR daily. I have been taking 100mg for 4 months, and am back to testing my INR every 1-2 weeks . I have not seen an increase in my INR.
. K1 converts to k2. k2 does not convert to k1.
I have not heard anyone clearly explain how k2 is involved in clotting. My experience so far doesn't show that. Not suggesting anyone do as I have

K1 increases clotting It is the treatment for accidental rat poisonings to stop people from bleeding to death, not k2.There must be a reason.

K2 works with D3 but also requires A

There are different kinds of vitamin K2. Apparently Mk 4, MK7, can you elaborate and give more detail which is best for what purpose thank you.😊

Just saw this as the topic interested me and with MS take 5000 D3 and just bought supplements that include 120 mcg of K2MK7 in each 1,000. Yikes will stop tomorrow and use 1 and then regular D3 for the remainder 4000! Super helpful info. Fun too to see you are in NZ. Lived in Tauranga mid 70's. :)

The best magnesium is ionized, so dissolve Epsom salt in water, I do with l-ascorbic acid, potassium citrate, acerola cherry powder, and Propel powder.

We can chase these questionable undemonstrated minor benefits forever at great expense. A lot of people make money playing on controversy, valid or not. Just eat plenty of good meat, cheese, fermented foods, salads, occasional fruit, minimal grains and exercise and sleep well.

Good day , dr Stanfield, i am taking medication for my blood pressure, ibesartan 150mg , right now, will taking vitk2 have any effect in my medication or will it have any side effects?

1200mg magnesium malate 6000 iu d3 25 mg k2 mk4 , that equivalent to 25000 micrograms

Does anyone know EXACTLY what Dr. Brad recommends for women with osteoporosis? Thanks in advance 😊

K2 is primarily found only in animal foods
Amazing how we missed that as a food source

K2- Keeps calcium in bones and pulls it out of the arteries

Totally agree with this guy. Have been taking vit D3, MK7 , K2 and magnesium for a few years now and certainly do not seem to have any problems that friends of same age (65+) are experiencing

How is everyone?

I take 100mg of K2 MK7. But when it comes to vit D I take 5000IU (5 days a week while in the office - weekends I spend outside where possible). I have annual blood tests to monitor and my vit D levels have always been within the normal range. The only benefit I have noticed is I never get sick. Whereas prior to taking Vit D + K2, I was catching colds a lot.

How many post menopausal women are doing heavy resistance training? We know that a sedentary lifestyle results in bone loss for everyone.

I use it mainly for my bones with D3

What is the alternative to taking a statin?

I've started eating natto months ago every day one spoon. Supposedly it contains K2 (it was shown in the video). Heat beans till 100 degrees celsius (two large soup bowls) mix in the natto kin let it ferment in a yogurt fermenter at 42 celsius for 24 to 96 hours stir every six hours with a fork (decontaminated in a flame) and add bit of cooked water (while it is still cooking) if too dry (taste best after 24 but a lot more potent after 96 hours). Should have a slightly sweet taste and it might even taste a bit salty, structure is silk like. Eat one spoon every day. Works miracles for your blood flow and therefore for your skin. Not sure about any other effects but it is very noticable. If you overdo it you might start to bruce easily in which case take a little less. Do not use if you take other stuff that thins your blood.

Researchers are stubbornly refusing to try K2/MK4 against K2/MK7, which is pushed by the supplement companies.

My view of this is that a mixtrure of K1, MK4, and MK7 is probably the best, until the researcher get their ass of the bench and really figure this out.
Optimal might be 2 mg of them totally. They aren't independent!

The body slowly converts some K1 and some K2/MK7 into K2/MK4. Obviously, the body likes MK4. But I doubt it converts enough into it to be optimal.
Therefore, a mixture of them all.

But we get K1 from green vegetables, and MK7 does give us some MK4. So just MK7 might be a minimal solution, if that's what you want.

But as we know 380 ug of MK7 isn't enough to more than slow down calcification of the arteries, although it does something.
Why not try my approach?

By the way. Researchers have shown that 1.5 mg of MK4 has effect. The megadoses of 45 mg 3 times daily is something lazy researchers use when they doesn't bother finding out the effective dose. They just want a sure results, so they can publish their paper. Not giving useable guidelines.

i have RA. I found a study that mk7 causes apoptosis of rheumatiod synovial cells. i take 1mg mk7 per day and 20000 iu of D. done so for three years....magical

The question is why calcium is in the artery in the first place. You shouldn't have plaque in the first place for calcium to latch on. Removing calcium from plaque might be worse than not in some cases. I would argue that removing plaque is more important than removing calcium with K2 considering that plaque turns into blood cloths anyway and that most heart attacks are a result of that happening. Vitamins and minerals aren't miracle cures if you don't have a healthy diet in the first place.

His voice sounds like he has a permanent cold and/or blocked sinuses 😢

I started taking a regime of K2, D3, and magnesium three days ago and have already seen a significant improvement in my blood pressure readings! Today I was down to 114/70 compared to 143/84 just five days ago.

Well, I have been taking vitamin K2 for a week and to my surprise, la vision has improve drastically. I had not idea this was going to happen, but I’m pleased.

What if someone is on warfarin? Take it or leave it?
