For all the confused people, here’s what I’ve learned… There are two classifications of K vitamins. There is K1 and K2. If you are asking about clotting, you are asking about K1 which is almost irrelevant to this video as it’s about K2. Although, Some of your K1 can turn into K2 from beneficial stomach bacteria. K2 from what research there is almost exclusively helps bone mineralization. In K2 there are two highlighted kinds. They are called MK-4 and MK-7. The man in the video was stating MK-7 lasts longer and is beneficial because it is the on-call for MK-4. When MK-4 is in the body it doesn’t last long but it does its job of mineralizing with calcium. There are many kinds of K2 and most are made from bacteria in fermented products. The other forms may do things for our body, but could also likely serve bigger roles for the bacteria that made them in the first place. Unless research says otherwise in the future, I wouldn’t worry about the other forms.
Great conversation! I was surprised that Dr McCormick said he didn't think 45 mg (split up into 3 doses) was necessary since I thought that was the dose studied/prescribed in Japan. I do find it hard to work it into my eating schedule 3 times a day, so that's encouraging. I'm currently taking the Relentless K2 MK-4, as 100 mg of MK-7. I wonder if Dr McCormick might address the benefit of a product called Annatrol that has GG and tocotrienols? This product supposedly helps your body produce K2?
I feel slightly confused about dosages and types. One brand in Canada talks about vitamin K 2( MK7.) from Natto bean. One capsule equal to 100 MCG’s. In my research, the optimum amount of vitamin K two was from 120 to 180mcg. The other brand comes in a gel capsule and it is 120 MCG from MK seven. The capsule would be a powder and in the gel I’m assuming some sort of liquid?
EveryOne assumes that all osteoporsis is the same. It Is Not. Treatments need to reflect and address the causes. That's medications for all conditions do not work for every sufferer of any condition

Excellent..Taking supplements effectively requires insight into how they are absorbed...
I'm sure this was well-meaning, but I'm sorry I didn't understand much of it.
If the body converts mk7 to mk 4 why would you need mk 4?

Can you recommend the best brand of K2 to take? Ty.
What kind of k2 are you recommending?
I’m always surprised that people who should know everything about vitamin K. Are not clear on what happens in your body!
I feel more confused with this video than ever…. Don’t find it helpful at all…
Do these k vitamins increase the risk for blood clots?

Watched the vid, but you don't say which is the best type of Vitamin K2 for Osteoporosis?
I thought there was just one K2 supplement?

I asked my doctor about Vitamin K supplements and she discouraged it strongly due to increased risk of clotting. Is she just wrong?
So I'm not great with math conversions but my mk7 bottle says it is 45mcg. He said to take 500 mg or did I miss something?
Reading the transcript he says he takes a dose of 500-1000 mcg of MK4. He thinks 45 mg of MK4 is too much and not necessary.
Would 45mg not equate to 450mcg @@barbaracourtney1691
