Why the studies? When all you have to do is eat a proper human diet🙄. Like our ancestors did millions of years ago! This would wipe out the need for any drugs! Why people follow these useless studies, is beyond me. Don’t eat fruit, don’t eat carbs. Animal fat is all you need for optimal health. It’s that simple
Your title and the content don't match. Why a 12 minute introduction?
What a condescending, stupid, irresponsible, and even evil piece of advice. If I wanted to change my diet, I would not ask a doctor, or anybody else, for that matter, because nobody can know me better than I can know myself. Doctors are useless and even dangerous because they do not know how not heal anything, but instead they do horrible harm to people by suppressing their symptoms, and so anyone recommending a doctor is no better than a terrorist!!!
Thank you I'll check it out
Are you still out on your driveway ready to inject any passers by with those harmful experimental pharma cartel products they called vaxxines Lindsay?
One problem: the typical "heathcare provider" knows absolutely nothing about diet, exercise, or anything outside of prescribing drugs and some knowledge about physiology.
Nothing. See you for 10 min. Charge insurance. Nag on your blood pressure...which goes up when you step into his her office. You feel like 6. In from of doctor. And you are called by your first name. Wie im kindergarten.....but they can authorize a test....you can't. Hi hi...
@@dagmarvandoren9364 yup even the VA wanted to put me on Blood pressure meds without even trying to find the cause... I think it may be Nitric Oxide lvls since they drop at age forty, which is when I retired and my blood pressure went from outstanding, to, well a bit high LOL
So 💯!!
So true, very sad.
@@johnvajcner20 Read it, loved it, and reviewed it.
The advice to check with your physician before taking K2 is usually good advice, but be aware that most physicians don't have much knowledge about K2, if any. A relative of mine started taking 180 mcg/day of K2-Mk7, which is the recommended dose for post-menopausal women, and mentioned it to her physician. The doctor told her to stop it because K2 will increase her risk of blood clotting and ischemic strokes. The fact is that K2 is not the clotting form of vitamin K; K1 is. Moreover, even K1 doesn't cause blood clotting -- it's a necessary component of the blood clotting mechanism but doesn't cause clotting. When patients are at risk of excessive clotting, such as when they have atrial fibrillation, and they are put on the K1 antagonist medication called warfarin/coumadin, that's for the purpose of reducing the ability of the blood to clot. K1 doesn't trigger the clotting. And although a small amount of K2 can be converted into K1 and vice versa, the conversion is weak and hence K2 doesn't greatly increase the concentration of K1. The doctor's advise was wrong and was due to a misunderstanding of the blood chemistry.
I take K2 MK-4 and K2 MK-7
That's appalling ignorance from an MD.
@@DEValentine im getting mine from sardines skinless boneless-I believe it's our stress lack of socialization with people we feel safe with or a community we feel safe in- that is sky rocketing our health into high stress-I think we can stop the calcium supplemts and take d3 but I am chosing to get K through food one clot is all it takes to end ones life✨(longest living relative in my family ate sardines every week)
@@eckankar7756 hi- are u concerned about the blood clotting factor?✨
An important fact to remember is that there i no money to be made from these vitamins, so the pharma industry that are financing most of the studies has an incentive to downplay benefits and to exaggerate "risks".
My friend is a doctor, a general practitioner. I asked him when he was training at university how much did they get taught on diet and nutrition. I found his answer quite unsettling. One afternoon lecture spent on the food pyramid and a couple more lectures on vitamins was the sum total within a 7 year period.
They are taught even less about vaccines/injury/side effects. They are just taught to use them, frequently and repeatedly.
They should be taught the foundation of medicine "let food be thy medicine". That saying has been around for centuries. Sometimes I wonder why some people become Doctors, without a desire to heal.
I am aware of the same..... Was told so by a doctor as well.
What medications do not allow one to take K2? I’m on blood thinkers and Eliquis.
@@jframe-os2zi yOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, How Big Pharma, DS Military Medicine Industrial Complex Works in America. They are only taught that they can treat symptoms with big pharms presriptions, Most doctors finish med school and get jobs working in Hospitals and already established doctor office's that are owned and operated under the policies of Big Pharma, DS MMIC systems, they can't treat their patients with Natural Healing Food Diets, Herbs and Healing Tintures, Good Vitiamin Supplments. Its not that they don't have a desire to heal, most have student loans that are paying back for med school, and can't afford to have their own medical offices, and staff to pay, etc. They get their self sucked up in a system that they didn't know exisited, trying to be good doctors but are told what they can do and can not do, or face the firing squad. Thats why you see so many foreign doctors now in America, they don't have to pay taxes to have their own private office. All the specialist in my middle size south Ga town are foreign doctors, mostly from India, Mexico. Having their own office, not working under DS Big Pharma Medical Policies as bad as these American gov owned facilities. Anytime you have American gov involvement in any American business or industry, you have the most corrupt business or industry on the planet, thats where your problems lie with the American Sick Health (not care at all) Industry. My doctor who works under gov health (sick) care industry just did my blood work for my annual wellness visit, I ask him what my Vit D levels were, He said he don't know because he was told he can't test Vit D levels anymore, that medical insurance in America does not cover that anymore, I said WHaaaaaT!! THATS CRAZY, So he didn't do it, I know why they stopped it, because of covid, Some good doctors were telling their patients to take Vit D to boost their immune systems so if they got it, they would not get very sick and be able to fight it off like a cold/flue virus. And word got around to some of the doctors who have not let the system corrupt them, use on their covid patients and saved many lives. Shame on the American gov Military Industiral Medical (not health care) Health Sick System, Complex , How much more are we going to allow them to do to us before we are all dead.
If anyone wants to know literally everything about K2, you should read ‘Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox’. I’ve recommended this book to so many of my friends. I even went and bought a physical copy just to lend out, the information within it is so important. It’s without doubt one of the best books on this subject out there. It’s the best health book I’ve ever read and I call it the silver bullet for good health. It goes into details about the interactions and interdependencies of D3, A and also E, basically all the fat soluble vitamins. After reading this you will never remove fermented foods again from your child’s diet. This K2 models the jawline and teeth correctly for a lifetime of perfectly straight teeth. It’s a gem of a book and I absolutely advise people to go away and read it asap
Thanks
YES! Such a great book. I think the creator of this video REALLY needs to read it!!!
Shadow, you are a great author and I know you are very proud of your book!
We're barely scratching the surface of understanding how our bodies function. Anyone claiming definitive pathways is akin to Fauci declaring himself as embodiment of "The Science". Hubris purports to "know", while reality continually calls dogma into question. Yesterday's "truths" are continually discredited.

@@dayoonman3264 I did not write the book, although I wish I did as it's brilliant! Thanks for your comments anyway :)
After a heart attack in 2018, a male Nurse gave me 3 pages of "Things NOT to eat" because they would interfere with a pharmaceutical blood thinner that "you will be on for the rest of your life". It included Kale, Spinach, Lettuce, Avecado, Broccoli,
and just about every other healthy thing there is to eat. (Most having vitamin K in them). My friend, who is a Bio-Chemist, took one look at it and said, "Throw that away, and get OFF of that pharmaceutical!!! And eat as much of that stuff as you can." I did exactly what he said, and I have been completely fine ever since. The Medical "profession" just wants to throw whatever Big Pharma has told them is the flavor of the month. WHILE I was in the hospital, I lost track of how many ads came on TV saying, "If you took _______, and you now have ______. You may have a lawsuit. Call ______. Several names of the ______ were the very names that were being pushed on the public only a few years prior.
Your friend was incorrect and perhaps your doctor. It is perfectly fine to eat all of those foods while on Coumadin you just need to eat the same amount each day.
You could just say a "nurse" and leave the sex of the individual out of it; it is not as if a female nurse would say something different.

While I appreciate this information, I have to laugh at all the exhortations to consult with your doctor before usuing XXX. Most doctors don't know shit about any of the new research on these things. They don't keep up on the latest research and the government guidelines that they need to comply with to avoid legal complications are grossly outdated. They are the WORST people to consult on the topic!
Right??
They take their orders from the crime syndicate big pharma, AMA, FDA,….
Absolutely true . However she has to protect herself legally !
When I studied therapeutic massage they told us that the pharmaceutical companies that subsidized the medical colleges threatened to cut off the $ if nutrition was taught as a remedy. I once had a senior client who had suffered for years with a bloody rash on his leg, was given an ointment and was taking 8 medications, some of which caused constipation and some to combat it. I suggested he drink lots of water and explained why. He said the doctor had told him to drink water but never told him why, so he didn’t bother. Two weeks later he called and said his rash was completely healed. A week after that his doctor called our facility and told the owner that I was NOT to tell people to drink water (even though it was within the scope of my directives to clients after a massage).
True, greetings from germany.
Thanks for the info, but I rarely speak to a doctor about vitamins and health. They are soooo uninformed about how to maintain health, only how to save it from death. I roll my eyes when I hear people say ‘speak to your doctor first ‘! I suppose it protects them and keeps self-righteous doctors from getting hot under the collar and losing patience with us.
You are 500 % correct!! Dr's are useless 😒
Agree completely. Doctors know jack about nutrition in general
Never get to see a doctor , prescription nurse if your lucky
Ya durn tootin. GP's are bunkum nowadays. Mine absolutely refuses to countenance vaccine adverse effects and debunks my slight uptake in Vit.D3- K2 supps.
Doctors are worse than useless.
In the groups receiving high-dose vitamin K1 or K2 (MK-4), not only was there no further arterial calcium accumulation, there was a 37% reduction of previously accumulated arterial calcification after six weeks. After 12 weeks, there was a 53% reduction in accumulated arterial calcium deposits.
OOPs she forgot to mention that. also, the doses they used were subclinical. I just started MK4 yesterday to try to remineralize my teeth and bones. I'm using 3-4mg/day.(that's 3000-4000 mcg.) Yesterday and the day before I thought I might die before I could start. Today I feel great!
Mk 7 is the best one not mk4. Doctors best make of the k2/ mk7 menopause Q7 is best to date for me
@@lindamclaughlin899 Thanks Lisa! I'm going to check that out!
Do you mind revealing which supplements and brand that you used?
I have osteopenia right now and I want to stop and reverse.
Also, which calcium supplements do you use? I know the form is vital.
@@lindamclaughlin899 also, I know that phosphorus in proper proportions is needed for bone health but I'm not seeing that mentioned either.
@@lindamclaughlin899 Awesome Linda(I got it right this time,lol). I got some bone restore from them and it's in capsule form. They put maltodextrin in it so I may have to send it back. The tabs you spoke of may be doable for me. Thanks for the k2 info too. I didn't know about splitting the doses. I bought Thorne K2 and their recommendations are for 45mg/day, just as you said. My teeth have demineralized too and the dose I had was for remineralizing teeth. The higher dose should do the trick for both! I just got the nano-hydroxyapetite tooth paste today, wish me luck. I just got the mercury out of my mouth and am also trying to put together a program to detox that next. Wish me luck!😎👍
Soybean oil is highly inflammatory, as is vegetable, grape seed, and canola oil. Healthy oils are olive, avocado, and coconut oils.
Any oils with polyphenols are bad. Olive oil is one.
Many years ago my mother was diagnosed with osteoporosis and put on Vit D and a calcium supplement without K2. Once I learned about the dangers of high calcium, I told her to stop taking it. Later testing showed that her aorta was calcified. At the time, I wasn’t aware of the need for K2 or I would have had her take it. I’m a former RN of 20+ years and from my experiences, I would not blindly follow ANY doctors advice about anything. They know absolutely nothing about nutrition and healing as they are pharmaceutically trained for disease management. It’s appalling how little they actually know about health.
I think it's so amusing when you tell me to check with my health care professional. I guarantee you, they Do NOT know.
Primary care Doc " whats a vitamin?" "Here's a prescription with lots of side effects"
yep who made MD king
You read my mind...
if docs healed you they would be out of business.
I listened to Dr. Berg on utube video for Vitamin D3 & K2 supplementation ratio. I remember him saying that the K2 will help take the Calcium out of the blood and put it back in the bones. He said your Dentist will be amazed how little plaque will be on your teeth. I hadn't been to the Dentist in two years & went for a visit. During the cleaning of my teeth, without me saying a word, the Dentist said, "For someone who hasn't been to the Dentist & who doesn't floss, I'm very surprised at how little plaque you have". I then informed her that Dr. Berg predicted she would say just that during my cleaning. She never heard that & told me she would check out his video that very night. Thanks Dr. Berg
Sad. . . But true!
There is a difference between k1 and k2 .. k 1 effects clotting and is the one that interacts with medication for blood thinning … however k2 has no effect on clotting and is the one that effects bone strength … it can be taken in a supplement in the K2 form often combined with vitamin D. It’s also known as Mk 4 and Mk 7. Mk 7 being the better of the 2.
Mk7 is not the better of the 2, it just lingers more until broken down, for older people taking mk4 multiple times a day is better
Apparently, K2 has no effect on clotting. Fortunately, today's pharma repertoire has several items that can replace warfarin. Your body needs the K2 to stave off osteoporosis. MK4 is apparently better and you need a lot of it since it has a half-life of about 1.5 hours.

Can we take Vitamin K doses for weekly bases.... (like I take 60000 IU of Vitamin D)
Excellent presentation! Very well organized! Unbiased and purely informational. Bravo!
It would be helpful if our health care providers had good knowledge of vitamins and food generally. This is not the case up here in Canada. Doctors take 1 day of nutrition in their medical courses as they will concentrate on minimizing the effects of disease instead of curing it. A cured patient does not make you or big pharma any money. This is why the advice of consulting your healthcare professional silly.
Thank you for this comment. I agree that healthcare professionals could use more education in the area of nutrition. There are definitely some that are more knowledgable than others. I will say that I see a growing number of Pharmacists are interested in nutrition and it is my hope that more education becomes available - this is one of the reasons for this video.
The Institute for Personalized Therapeutic Nutrition (Of which I am a member), founded by Pharmacist Sean Mckelvey is doing some great work in this area. Here is their website if interested:
www.therapeuticnutrition.org/
I think most doctors are very well meaning but their training lacks in learning about how diet can be a good medicine or like poison.
@@whitefox212 The profit is in the patient, not the healthy person.
May I suggest that not all healthcare professionals are the same?
There are many, many pharmacists with a specific expertise in deprescribing (myself included), many healthcare professionals have education in nutrition (I am also a member of the Institute for Personalized Therapeutic Nutrition), many healthcare professionals recognize the positive effects of lifestyle intervention for chronic illness and disease prevention.
Every profession has some bad eggs, and healthcare is no exception. But painting an entire sector with one brush I believe can be very problematic, don’t you think?
@@FriendlyPharmacy5 I was not referring to Pharmacists. I thought that was obvious. Doctors are my focus and their lack of appropriate education.
If you are in the UK, Kerrygold butter is the only one from pasture fed cows so containing K2 that I know of. Same goes for eggs, they must be from hens raised outside on the grass/scratching around in the dirt.
I've just found out Tescos organic butter is from grass fed cows too.
Kerrygold can be purchased in the US as well.
Can you provide a link to both Kerrygold and Tescos organic, please? It's all very well 'people telling you stuff on the internet' - there's nothing to say it's not just incorrect hearsay! Always add links when providing useful information or making claims.Thanks.

Great video. Baffled with all these critical comments. I am a Pharmaceutical Scientist and you explained it succinctly
Thank you for the thoughtful comment, much appreciated and lovely to hear this has reached a pharmaceutical scientist somewhere in the world as well!
No she didnt. She kept saying K when there is more than 1 form of K. She should have broken each down and talked about each as in K1, K2 Mk4 and K2 Mk7. You cant just say K and then talk about what all 3 offer....it confuses people. K1 is for blood clotting and k2 is for bone health. She shouldnt have ever just said K. Each time she spoke she should have referenced which form she was talking about, K1, or K2. They are TOTALLY different.
@@Me-mj8ni it was very clear and well articulated to me

Vitamin K2 dissolved my salivary stones which were quite painful. It took a couple of months, but they are completely gone as long as I continue the K2. If I slack off, they start coming back.
😳 W0W ..!
Please did u take vitamin k2 before or after food
Please reply
@@reshmamohammed4525 take it with a fatty meal. K2 is fat soluble
If it keeps coming back, maybe your diet causes it.
Which type and amount do you take?
That seems to be essential info to me since there are so many doses and two types available.
I took drops with all trans mk7 about 400mcg per day for a while. Often I swapped that with having a tablespoon of organic natto from an organic food shop, that should contain at least 400mcg as well as nattokinase and live probiotic baccillus subtillis and more great nutrients, I love the taste and it costs me just $3 per week. However it contains only all trans mk7.
There are people that advice mk4 that is the form of K2 that one finds in animals and that the body produces and stores.
The possibility is that mk4 is more bio active for people, hence it stays in the blood shorter because the body absorbes and uses it.
Right now I started one capsule dayly of 1000mcg K1, 1000mcg K2 mk4 and 200mcg K2 mk7, costs me just $5 per month. I still consume natto regularly as well.
Besides this I take 4000 or 5000 IU D3 per day as drops. The drops and capsules are from reputable German brands from Amazon. I live in Europe, a friend of mine takes similar capsules from an American brand and that costs him $25 per month. American products are expensive here because of import taxes, luckily Germany produces top quality supplements as well.
🇨🇦thank you again Lindsay. I so appreciate these sensible educational talks.
Thank you for the comment Teresa, I appreciate you as well!
Note that the vitamin K shot for newborns often contains aluminum. If anyone here is expecting, arrange in advance to do an oral dose instead. Many first-world countries give it orally and it is totally fine.
The Vitamin D group I am on, recommend k2, it helps to put the calcium into your bones and keeps it out of soft tissue, plus magnesium

My mom's doctor had her take calcium for years but never once mentioned that unless you take k2 with it .it just builds up in your aorta.her aorta was 80 percent calcified.at 78 yrs old they spent 10 hours digging the calsification out and she never made it out of the hospital. Doctor's really need to be educated

An additional resource for information on k2 would be Dr. Dennis Goodman , head of integrative cardiology at NYU Langone.
You will find interviews with him on the topic & he has a short book as well to help clarify what k2 mk7 does.

What dosages were you taking please? If you have a product name, even better. Many thanks
@@SirHargreeves thanks I would like to know this as well…
BIG problem; 25 micrograms of Vitamin D is less than 1,700 IU. In recent years, the whole RDA of Vitamin D has been totally blown out of the water as being a totally deficient amount. Today, most people do well to supplement with a significantly higher dosage than 2,000 IU of Vitamin D3. Thus, this study cited, as well as it was conducted, is almost completely useless because a far too low dosage of Vitamin D was used.
Actually the maximum is now 4000IU due to covid related studies-and for obese it goes to 8000IU but you then need K

@@kathrynmcmorrow7170 my understanding is the D3 blocks calcium absorption but I’m repeating what I’ve heard. The higher doses (8000 IU) were being recommended for obese people as they had highest risk factors for Covid morbidity. In this situation and given the breadth of study there is no reason not to take 4000 IU D3. That’s how my doctor framed it when assessing what I needed. It’s worth looking for information and Dr John Campbell is a good source of primary study information via UA-cam.
@@kathrynmcmorrow7170 this depends on factors of obesity, auto immune issues etc. vitamin D3 and k2 (MK7) and a recent Japanese study suggests including mk4 blend.

They’ve increased recommendation recently but to raise blood serum with IUs ( international units) you must convert to ngs/ml which is how your blood serum is measured see UA-cam video explanation by Dr Berg on this subject. My husband is on 10k and 500 mcg MK7 and magnesium. Magnesium helps facilitate the calcium. He is low D from forgetting to take his. I am a 74. I take a dose every few days bc I’ve learned the hard way that you lose d very quickly according to many health factors. You can also take this dermal! A lotion applied to the skin. I’m just trying it now. Mostly interested for my grandson whose a toddler….looking at a lower amount once a week but also for a friend who has malabsorption issues.
For approximately 100 dollars anyone can request a calcium test to determine if you have a buildup of calcium in your arteries. For some unknown reason cardiologists do not routinely use this test yet will prescribe statin drugs. Without calcification cholesterol poses very little danger as there is nothing for it to cling to.
Calcium scoring test is an essential tool to assess your cardiac health. What's interesting is that health insurances in general do not cover such test. I wonder if the reason for this may be that if someone is placed on a statin(trillion dollar market) and then routinely followed by this calcium scoring test, it would reveal the uselessness of statins.

@@edwcnj1 it’s worse than that, statins calcify your soft plaque so note the irony: you are told to take statins because you have calcification and then you take a drug that increases calcifications…the logic reeks to me, but the theory is that hard calcification is safer for you. They don’t yet have an effective measure for soft plaque and it’s supposedly this soft plaque floating around and then getting stuck that causes the heart attack and strokes…
Glad someone is finally continuing my great uncle's research on K.
There is always a trade off: spinach is the worst food for being high in oxalates( please google if unfamiliar) and soy products are terrible for keeping inflammation in the body in check, ALL seed oils including the mentioned canola have high inflammation markers, so I hope people will consider this. Having said that I do take a vitamin d3+k2 supplement combo, because vitamin k appears to boost the vitamin d3 in absorption, just be careful with the foods you choose if that is your choice of delivery.
I think oxalates are not that big of a deal for someone who's healthy and their digestion can easily flush them out, so I worry that because there are people who do need to avoid oxalates, those who don't are also avoiding them and missing out.
k1 is for blood clotting health. K2 is for bone health.
K1 is NOT K2...yes, K1 is beneficial and required ..K(K1) is all we knew about for 80 years and all there was on the market...But K2 is the lesser known, harder to get in foods and is the K2 ...NOT K1..K2 is the healthy beneficial K that is overlooked and required to prevent artery calcification and REQUIRED for BONE formation..I feel this was not clear to medical doctors or in this video and K2 was just mentioned as K in this video...K2 is NOT K(K1)...K2 is mandatory ...Take K2 in 2022..

New video just posted this week, let me know what you think: Which VITAMIN K is better? (Cardiovascular Benefits, Top Dietary Sources and Osteoporosis)
ua-cam.com/video/LQl5jGMk73U/v-deo.html
I found this video Very informative and interesting. Especially for me a man with a mechanical Aortic valve currently on warfarin avoiding most foods with high levels of vitamin K. It Got me thinking maybe I should consider adding more vitamin K to my diet(of course under the supervision of my family doctor and regularly scheduled INRS). The data was well presented and understandable however I would like to point out that when you mentioned Beets at 9:31, I believe from my research that 1 cup of beets has .3 mcg of vitamin K. However 1/2 a cup of Beet "greens" has around 350mcg which is probably what you were referring to. Splendid video! keep up the good work.
I take 5 Mg K2 M7 with D3 with a fatty meal.. and I eat loads of Green Veges.. My natural blood thinner is Tumeric cooked with Black pepper… It’s obviously not warfarin… taken For Allergic reasons instead Of taking Aspirin which I’m allergic to…… But it definitely thins my Blood…. I feel much healthier!
However, that would be K1, not K2.
There are likely better alternatives to warfarin. Might explore that.
@Kyle
Wafarin works by destroying the effect of vitamin K1. That means it stops working if you take in more of K1.
The standard procedure is (should be that they measure the effect of your dose of wafarin and if you change your intake of K1, you invalidate the previous measurement, and should have your dose changed too.
But K2 has little effect on blood clotting. So it shouldn't change the effect of Wafarin.
I'm not a doctor, but I know that there are other, newer blood thinners which isn't affected by vitamin K1. I would ask my doctor about them.
She really should not be referring to Vitamin K in general as there are different variations of vitamin K. She needs to distinguish between K1,k2 mk7.k3 ect they all do very different things.
I heard on a audibles book that the dosage of D3 and K2 were never high enough in these studies to produce significant improvements. She was saying higher doses were safe and not as toxic as we were told and did produce positive results. I'm supplementing at a higher dose now to see if it makes a difference. I will get blood work done to check that I'm not going to far ! Great video very informative
Yes they have no idea About The best D3 and K2Dosage4 optimal Health. I'm on 5,000 IUD3 and 100 mcg k2 mk7.
5K is almost the minimum needed to maintain adequate blood levels. Almost 50% of people need 8K.
Regarding "freezing foods destroys K2", please provide the academic studies/sources you used to support that statement?
Swiss chard, or as it's called in some places, silver beet, has a very high vit K level. A good green for the daily diet.
For correct calcium chemistry in the body both vitamine D(3) and K2 are needed.
I took drops with all trans mk7 about 400mcg per day for a while. Often I swapped that with having a tablespoon of organic natto from an organic food shop per day, that should contain at least 400mcg as well as nattokinase and live probiotic baccillus subtillis and more great nutrients, I love the taste and it costs me just $3 per week. However it contains only all trans mk7.
There are people that advice mk4 that is the form of K2 that one finds in animals and that the body produces and stores.
The possibility is that mk4 is more bio active for people, hence it stays in the blood shorter because the body absorbes and uses it.
Right now I started one capsule daily of 1000mcg K1, 1000mcg K2 mk4 and 200mcg K2 mk7, costs me just $5 per month. I still consume natto regularly as well.
Besides this I take 4000 or 5000 IU D3 per day as drops. The drops and capsules are from reputable German brands from Amazon. I live in Europe, a friend of mine takes similar capsules from an American brand and that costs him $25 per month. American products are expensive here because of import taxes, luckily Germany produces top quality supplements as well.
K2 mk4 has a shorter molecular shape than mk7, the body can only for a very small part convert mk7 into mk4. The size difference of the molecule may result in different effectiveness. The mk4 is synthesized from a plant source. Unfortunately the difference in effectiveness of mk4 vs mk7 is poorly researched and even largely ignored for as far as I know. People mostly just presume one form may be better than the other. At least there is no possibly dangerous amount known and no upper limit adviced.
If K2 plus D actually strengthen bones and teeth as well as clean out the arteries from unwanted calcification this is a hughely important thing. My theory is also that clogging of arteries may start with calcification on the arteries surface which creates a roughness on which plaque may attach. Does arterial plaque consist partially of calcium? That would make a difference too then. Anyhow calcium free, supple arteries would make a huge difference for health, possibly reducing hypertension and chance of stroke. Also I believe recently a reduction of incidence of dementia has been reported with K2 supplementation.
It is a big shame that medicine largely ignores ways to improve health and prefers to treat symptoms with expensive unnatural medicines that usually have side effects. No doubt the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on "healthcare" as well as disinterest and complacency of most doctors and researchers as well as lack of money for research at for instance universities are to blame for this.
I assume you combine this with enough magnesium and vitamin A.
You may want to do a deep dive on Boron (Borium).
@@rredding Thanks for the tips! I understand Magnesium and Zink should be most important, I want to find the best forms (I understood Mg gluconate would be best) and amounts to take. Boron, I haven't heard before, I'll go into that. Vitamin A, I am somewhat surprised to hear. I understood that if you eat lots of greens, as I do, you synthesize enough out of the beta carotenes present and too much vit A would be toxic, so one has to be careful with this one as well as with some others. (What's this B vitamin which's RDA has recently been reduced hugely, B3? Then again a study found possible reduction of dementia by B3 suppletion?)
But I'll look into it.
I think a large cause of deficiencies in micro nutrients must be that all our food (except the organic produce, which is often scarcely available or hugely expensive) is grown with lots of artificial fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides. In other words, chemicals. Chemicals for food, what the heck! Humanity seems to have gone insane.
@@DutchmanAmsterdam Hi Andre, just s short reply, as I have little time at the moment.
I am looking into Silicon for myself, and learned that you always combine Zinc with Copper (rato 3:1 to 15:1).
I started looking into Iodine a long time ago, and now taking Lugols. I know, that when taking Iodine, you have to combine this with Selenium, which I get grin one or two Brazil nuts (=Para nuts) daily, not more..
It is fun to study all this and make your own decisions..
@@DutchmanAmsterdam B6?
Making your own natto is very inexpensive and very easy. The initial investment of a temperature regulating chick incubator by the Miller company at $35 is your greatest cost. It can then be used to make yogurts and many other bacterial ferments that require a temperature between 70F and 120F.
Thank you!!!. Very formative. Blessings

Hi again Lindsay 👋 I hope you and the family are all very well, hubby and myself are. I’m dropping in again as I saw you were speaking about vitamin K2. As I already take vitamin D3 due to having COPD and Osteopenia, I’ve been told I should be taking a low dose of K2. Getting to speak with a Dr here is like plucking hens teeth! That being the case I thought a Friendly Pharmacist would be best to ask, don’t worry if you’re unable to, I quite understand. Take care of yourself and all the family. Sue xx
So well explained mme..Thankyou for the information .
I’m so glad it was helpful. You are welcome!
The study you note used the wrong ratio of Vitamin D3 to K2........when focusing on K2, D3 is needed as well as Magnesium (in an appropriate bio-available form) for proper uptake into the body and cells. Such omissions will skew any results and how they are presented.
Yep! D has co factors that must be take with it. K2 is one of them...then there is also Vitamin A, Boron, Zinc and Magnesium. There are 9 forms of mag. Stay away from citrate and oxide as they cause gi upset and loose stools. I do mag malate in the am as it gives energy and helps with pain. Then at night i do mag glycinate as it promotes relaxation and calm
Yes as Kg along e.. Mg activates the D3, should take ALL w. Oil as oil soluble vits.
Excellent ☺️ information on all Vit K types ..learnt lot about its function and usage..thank you .lots of regards and love from Chennai India 👍❤️ 🙏
Thank you for the kind words, appreciate the feedback, and hello to viewers in India!!
I wouldn't bother asking my doctor about vitamins. I am pretty sure I know more about them than he does. I'm just trying right now to figure out the right dose of Vitamin D to take with my Vitamin K.
So glad I saw you on Dr. John. I know I can trust you. 😌
I had a flare up in my knee , gout or a twist I am not sure,it was pretty bad but Vitamin K 2 taken with D3 is highly recommended for that..
Thank you for watching this video! Additional info on sources of Vitamin K1 and K2:
“K1 is predominantly found in green vegetables and plant chlorophylls, whereas K2 menaquinones are synthesized by bacteria [8] and are primarily found in food where bacteria are part of the production process.”
Excellent additional resource here as well as in the video description - hope this helps!
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6413124/
I would be interested to know which strain(s) of bacteria produce the K2.
This is an excellent question. Stay tuned!

Cut to the chase
@@emale03 K1 is NOT K2...yes, K1 is beneficial and required ..K(K1) is all we knew about for 80 years and all there was on the market...But K2 is the lesser known, harder to get in foods and is the K2 ...NOT K1..K2 is the healthy beneficial K that is overlooked and required to prevent artery calcification and REQUIRED for BONE formation..I feel this was not clear to medical doctors or in this video and K2 was just mentioned as K in this video...K2 is NOT K(K1)...K2 is mandatory ...Take K2 in 2022..
I think this video didn't distinguish enough between K1 and K2 especially with regard to interaction with wafarin and with regard to dietary sources.
Very good succinct and valuable video.
I have osteoperosis, and researched K2 information....l chose to use K2, D, zinc, magnesium, selenium, silica and calcium carbonate... and have attained twice the improvement expected from the doctor- prescribed drugs. As a child, l had none of the foods high in K2, was quite sick most of the time, and was dosed with antibiitics often....a viscious circle. Now, my diet is good, my bones are healing, and l haven't needed antibiotics in the last 6 years. My heart is clear of calcification, as are my kidneys. Whoo-hoo! 😊👍🦴🫀
You want to blow your mind about something you might have overlooked… look for videos on the micronutrient Boron. You will be glad you did.
@@benphartine Thanks.. will do. 🙂👍
Did your dexa scan improve with your dietary and supplement changes? I’d love to know! Did you need to take all of those supplements individually or could you find one supplement containing them all? Selenium and silica….do they make them individually?
@@gracie3174 yes...as l said, the improvement was nearly twice what was expected from Alendronate etc.The greatest improvement expected from the Alendronate regime was 5.1%after 1 year: my improvement was 9.8% from the supps alone. I am in Australia, and buy the Aussie brand Fauldings, if l can. Supplements are often sold in combination because they work in tandem, and are needed in tandem. So l buy their Mag/zinc; Silica one-a-day (which has biotin,silica dioxide,selenium, zinc); and Nature's Way brand (Aussie) vit K2 (menaquinone 7)+D3. I take extra D3 from Fauldings because l can't spend much time in the sun, and it helps with depression/anxiety. And overdosing is difficult to achieve, and my skeleton's so thin, it can do with all the help it can get! I don't know whether you can buy these vits/minerals separately, but l wouldn't bother, as, like l said before, they put them in combination becase that's how they're needed, and it wouldn't save money to try, l wouldn't expect, l hope this is helpful to you. I have spent a lot of time on the internet researching and cross-referencing, so l hope l have saved you some hours, but always check the facts as they would apply to yourself. (You will not necessarily get support from a regular doctor, as my lovely doctor still wanted me to go onto Alendronate with all it's ghastly potential side effects, despite my results! They are so "programmed"!! 🙄) l am looking forward to my next scan next year! 🙂All the very best to you, God bless. 🙂
@@bevfitzsimmonds3382 thank you soooo very much for your reply! It is very helpful. And you have saved me a lot of research! I’m anxious to try this.

Knowledge is a very exciting concept of life. You gave us very precise explanation. I loved it and certainly value it. Thank you.
That is very kind of you to say. I’m glad you found it helpful. 😊
Thank you! I wonder if the nutritional status if the subjects which led to aotic calcification simply overwhelmed the effect of K2. Perhaps, with a calcification study based on dietary changes with and without K2?
Vitamin a depletes k2
Very good information, so many sites say you need this vitamin or that vitamin,but fail to tell if it’s destroyed by heating or freezing,
Great video. Very informative and very helpful to me personally, many thanks.
As to the STUDY🧐
720ug of MK7 is very significant, but 25ug of D3 is not significant, as many supplements are now using 125ug of D3.
Also, we do not know what their blood serum levels of these nutrients were at
the start and the rate of progression of serum levels on a time factor basis ie 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 🤷🏻♂ and Vit D … a pro hormone, could have a major affect on outcomes for each patient… Nor do we know their activity level, as exercise and intensity of such would be a factor in outcome.
To many unaccounted for variables ie what they ate, when they ate,
what were their insulin levels, their stress levels, blood chemistry, and what other medications/supplements & comorbidities, etc..👉😵💫👈
🤔hmmm … I have drawn my own confusions-conclusions🤷🏻♂🤠🖖
Thank you for the comment. This is just 1 study that is recent and of high quality which is why I am sharing it. We definitely do need more research on the subject of Vitamin K and it’s role in calcification. It is not a conclusive study by any means. If you look at the full paper you will see that the authors admit that there were variables that could have been adjusted and they study may have yielded different results. This is true with almost any study. I look forward to more research being done to either support or refute the claims in this study so we know more on the role of Vitamin K in disease, including in calcification.
I have been taking K2 and D3 for about 9 months now. I had a lot of 'bruising' (constant) around the ankles which has been getting worse over the years. I have always bruised easily. To my surprise the 'bruising' has decreased substantially. I have also noticed that ankle swelling, mainly hot weather - now 39c, has almost stopped, an extra dose of K2 reduces the swelling within hours. As I am not taking any medication or other supplements the K2/D3 sups must have caused this effect. As a westerner I don't eat fermented goods, not sure if it is relevant but I am also a non-secretor which may affect the absorption of natural K2.

If you’re not taking vitamin A to activate the vitamin D you will not benefit from k2 or D. In fact you will make two different substances that will remain in the arteries and become a hazard to your health. As advised earlier buy the book vitamin k2 and the calcium paradox. Then read it.
@@myrondagley8717 Thanks for the info, I have looked at a few research papers and no where does it say Vit A is needed to activate K2 and D3. K2 is involved in the production of MGP helping to prevent calcification and hardening of heart arteries so with D3 a cholecalciferol they should work well together. What hazard substances do you know as I can't find any data relating that them. With my diet and genetics I don't really need to worry about Vit A but it would be interesting to know.
My experience is that all vitamin gives a more dramatic effect towars better health compared to minerals.
Vit A gives smother skin, Vit D more muscular strength & endurance vit K better bone health, vit C improve many things,,, gum health etc , vit B hair, skin. Have you ever been trying Natto?
Thank you ever so much for this video. In contrast to others I have listened to you seem to be a very well informed and honest person.

Hello! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the info very intresting
You’re welcome, I’m glad you found it helpful!
recently had open heart surgery for a genetic defect that caught up with me at the age of 70.I had a bi cuspid aortic valve instead of a tri cuspid valve at birth.The ct scan.echocardiogram and angio gram showed no blockage in the arteries or heart except in the aortic valve which showed stenosis and calcification of the valve.The valve was leaking and blood was backflowing from the valve. Again no calcification anywhere else. I am currently on Warfin, and limited to what I can eat with Vitamin K,brussel sprouts,asparagus,leafy greens etc. Before the surgery I ate all these vegtables and supplemented with vitamin D. Is calcification in the heart valves more prevalent than in the arteries?
Interesting to hear your story. I also had a bicuspid aortic valve, replaced three years ago with a pig / porcine tissue valve (I'm 68). My symptoms were quite sever before the surgery - shortness of breath mainly - and they put me on the 'urgent" list. I had all arteries checked by angiogram, and I was told by the cardiologist that they were the envy of his department, i.e. no blockage or calcification at all. I now take a daily aspirin and a minor blood pressure pill. Since the surgery I've gone on a health kick that I'll be on forever. Many supplements, including vitamins D3 and K2, zero alcohol, a great diet and working out 2-3 times per week. Feel great, hope you do too.

There are more than 23 proteins that are K2 dependent. Vitamin K2 activates these proteins so they can do their job. At present, Types of vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs) are reported to exist matrix Gla protein (MGP), growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6), anticoagulant proteins C, S and Z, osteocalcin (OC), Gla-rich protein (GRP), periostin (isoforms 1-4), periostin-like-factor (PLF), Transthyretin (TTR), Proline-rich Gla protein (PRGP) 1, PRGP2, transmembrane Gla protein (TMG) 3 and TMG4 (2-5). Vitamin K is the coenzyme for the glutamate γ-carboxylase (GGCX) enzyme and promotes the transformation of vitamin K-dependent protein glutamic acid (Glu) residues to γ-glutamic acid (Gla) residues (6,7). New research points to the anti-aging properties of Gas6 and protein S in the brain. And another study, the anti-oxidatively properties of K2 in preventing Kidney disease. There is more to Vitamin K2 then just bone health. Google K2 dependent proteins or K2 and aging.

Can the levels of fluoride used in drinking water interfere with the bodies absorption of vitamin K2 ?
I would be we recommend tap water ! At least get a filter
While fluoride in tap water, nitrosamines in beer, carcinogenic heat-altered proteins in fried meats, emulsifying additives and preservatives in processed foods, residues of antibiotics in intensively farmed meats, artificial colours and flavours in packaged foods, excess sugar (regardless of how natural it is), excess salt and many more can adversely affect health, many plant foods (e.g. cabbage, cress and related foods) can either reduce their absorption, or hasten their excretion. You'll never cut out all toxins but you can increase your chances of being unharmed by ensuring that most of your food is "real" and very fresh (the good chemicals are perishable) and that you minimise intake of the dodgy stuff. Better still, grow some veg, even in a window box. I'm not against meat but make sure that it's animals that live a decent life, with enough time outdoors. The more antioxidants (and less antibiotics) they eat, the less inflammation is caused by their meat. It's a matter of playing the odds overall, rather than a single toxin vs a single superfood or supplement. And of course, both exercise and sleep are extremely important for your body's detox and repair capabilities.
@@peterconry4732 Very good advice. I do all of that, especially the cabbage and broccoli. I was asking about K2 & Fluoride because it's in the Irish water supply and a very large number of people suffer from brittle bones. I did myself and had several breaks until I started distilling my water. Drank nothing else for 2 years but that can be dangerous as you can strip out more than fluoride. The bones are good again but the cause of the brittleness remains unacknowledged by Irish doctors and I'm sure it's the addition to the water supply.
@@artytomparis Personally, I would not suspect fluoride as the culprit. By 'brittle bones' do you mean osteopenia or osteoporosis? Adequate intake of D3 and K2, combined with weight-bearing exercise, usually prevent these maladies.
@@paulmaxwell8851 Never mind.

I had a stroke a year ago in statins taking myself off then started taking K2 along with D3 !
One thing she did not make distinct is that people who have had their gallbladder removed may also be more prone a vitamin k deficiency as they often are not able to absorb nutrition from their food and are more likely to have multiple deficiencies.
For people who have had their gallbladder removed, a good advice is to take oz bille salt helps to adsorb the vitamins K1 , k2en d3.

Help me parse one sentence (from the online transcript).
@8:39 it reads:: "Chlorophyll is the substance in plants that gives plants their green color and is abundant in vitamin K."
One would parse that sentence as: "Chlorophyll is abundant in vitamin K." But that cannot be what you meant to relate, correct?
Were you trying to say: "Green plants have abundant vitamin K" ?
Hello, thank you for the comment, here is a reference for you:

Hope this helps!
I had a recent MRI of my heart to determine my CAC score. I have slight calcification in my left descending aorta in my heart. My Dr told me that can't be reversed, only prevented in the future. The research I have read says that I caused the calcification not from cholesterol, but from sugar. I agree with this and have cut out sugar from my body completely.
So my question now is whether my Dr was correct in saying it can't be reversed. Do you think K2 can reverse calcification in the arteries?
I'm in the same boat. Put me on asprin beta blocker and statin. I'm not talking statin dont like the idea of side effects. Got low cholesterol anyways. BP perfect so why do I need Beta blocker. Don't want to be on this stuff for years. Lots of alternatives to replace with. I'd like to know what can reverse it. From what I read calcification is due to insulin resistance so I'm now on a carnivore diet.
Read the Calcium Paradox book. And yes, it can be reversed, it takes a few months to two years with enough D3 K2 A magnesium . So stick to it! Now the calcium is there for a reason. Read about boron and bone health. Then read about fluoride and calcium/ thyroid/ parathyroid- it’s all about the calcium. Calcium should be mostly in our bones, not in our soft tissues. Something causes it to travel everywhere. If I found all that on the internet you would too. The NIH has a throve of information about it- somehow, no one is sharing it with the innocent public…
I read somewhere that mk7 would reverse calcification. Better to take it..Eat natto. Easy o find in Asian Mkts.
Thankyou for sharing this usefull information.

I am 74 and diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism last week. I was taking 5000 IU D3 and Vit K2 mk7. My doctor said it could be too much D3 so to reduce it to 1,000 IU but I saw D3 is also used to treat hyperparathoidism which is confusing, so too much or too little he said is a problem.
You mentioned MK4 and MK7 are involved in coagulation and the creation of prothrombin. I was under the impression that Vit K1 performed this role but K2- MK4 and MK7 were involved in Calcium metabolism into bone and extracting from arteries. Please clarify.

I am late to watching this video so my question may be a repeat. From what you said I am wondering if eating frozen green vegetables affects to efficacy of K2 in these foods.
There is no K2 in unfermented vegetables. I wish she did a better job of differentiating K1 and K2.
Good day off topics but why has their not been any effective treatments for vitiligo or how to reverse?
