Transcripts:
hi everyone I'm dr. Susan brown director
of the Center for better bones and I
want to welcome everyone to our chat
we're gonna have basically for our
Facebook community you've been asking me
a lot of questions about vitamin K
vitamin K is extremely important in our
better bones better body program so I
want to take some time to answer your
questions about vitamin K you know many
years ago the the people who are
researching vitamin K actually came to
my office to discuss this with me
because I'd been I'd been talking in my
blogs and other publications about the
importance of vitamin K this was two
decades ago before I was known very well
and we have been so impressed with
vitamin K mk7 vitamin k2 and as an
anthropologist I realized that just like
we had much more magnesium much more
fiber much more protein much more
everything in our early diets as we
evolved we certainly had much more
vitamin K so the important thing to remember that
a substance is called a vitamin when you
need it for life it's the kind of thing
if you don't take it you die and this
substance we call vitamin K is a
substance that is essential for life in
that it allows for blood clotting it's a
kind of a technical thing how we would
all blade to death bleed to death with
any little cut if the blood didn't clot
so vitamin K activates certain enzymes
certain proteins that allow the body to
do the clotting function to keep the
blood stable it has many other functions
but that's one of the main functions of
vitamin K it also works to activate
other proteins proteins for example if
that carboxylate osteocalcin osteocalcin
is the main bone protein produced by
osteoblasts those bone building cells
that actually stimulates the building of
new bone so vitamin K also works by
signaling or activating this osteocalcin
protein and then we also know that it
activates GLA matrix another compound in
the vessels that actually is of one of
the most important turnoff switches to
arterial calcification did you ever
wonder why do we calcify our teeth and
our bones yet we don't calcify our
arteries one reason is because vitamin K
is the signaling compound that helps to
turn off this arterial calcification
there's many many studies on the
different forms of vitamin K and maybe
this is a good point to mention that of
course there's k1 which is produced by
plants all the green plants produce k1
and that's where you can get a lot of k1
k1 is sufficient to cause clotting and
it helps bone some but nothing like the
forms of vitamin K which are the vitamin
k2 forms did the state difference in k1
and k2 is a chemical difference k1 is
called phenyl alanine and k2 are
menaquinone so vitamin k2 are produced by bacteria
so the plants produce vitamin k1 we eat
the plants we get that vitamin k the
animals in their guts in the and the
bacteria in the world when produce
vitamin k2 there's a couple of many
forms of vitamin k2 actually but the
ones we pay most attention to the ones
that have been studied for for bone our
mk7 which is menaquinone 7 and the 7 has
to do with the the chemical chain
menaquinone 7 which is a long-chain
vitamin k2 and then by mk4 which is
Menna tetra known and that is another
form of type 2 vitamin k2 mk7 comes from
food fermented food and this is where we
get back to the bone health story and
i'm going to talk about MK 4 in just a
minute but MK 7 was discovered when they
realized that japanese populations in
certain parts of the country ate
Dr. Brown
An outstanding video. I learned a lot about this topic.
Thank you
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@DrSusanBrown, I do as this is the most informative info I've heard on the topic. Dr Eric Berg posted a video today on K2 (ua-cam.com/video/J_i7sNQTFPE/v-deo.html - the Reason your Arteries are Calcifying). Dropped a link to this excellent video👍👍 Thanks again for your great work.
Thank you so much for very detail information!
You are welcome, Eva! 😄
Emu oil is an excellent source of MK4, and is especially effective taken with cod liver oil. Pastured butter is also a good source of MK4.
Dr. Brown, very good explanation. Thank you so much.. ❤
You're welcome!
Very informative and well explained
Thank you for tuning in
Excellent review
Thank you!
Very well explained.
Thanks for tuning in! 😊
This video is definitely very informative. Thank you so much, Dr. Brown, for your insight about vitamin K2. Natto is flavorless, no odor, and it comes in whole beans form. But, it's a bit slimy and sticky with slight and barely noticeable bitterness. It can be commonly found in the freezer section of any Japanese supermarket or most Asian supermarkets (imported from Japan). We enjoy the kind that comes with "ume"(plum) sauce. We also add a little finely minced scllion and fresh grated ginger or dikon(Japanese reddish). It's delicious and goes well with brown rice! The only question we have is "how much natto is equivalent to "100 mg of K2MK7 in supplement form" ?
I'm really glad to hear you like the taste of natto. Some sources suggest that one tablespoon Contains150 µg of MK-7. It is a MK-7 powerhouse--happy eating.
Global Tech thank you for explaining what this is and where it’s found in the Asian supermarkets, I will definitely give it a go

Is Vitamin MK7 a vitamin that is prescribed by a Dr? And if so, can I request it from my Thyroid Dr. That found out through my Bone Density Scan that I was in the mid to low 3's?
Hi doctor does vitamin k and k1 make your blood thicker thanks
I have Blood Type AB+ and have a lot of platelets. My blood is naturally thick. I had to go to the hospital a couple weeks ago because my blood was clotting and I was getting a bad feeling under my left arm. I want to have thinner blood like everyone else has but I'm not a big fan of Coumadin (rat poison).
Here in the UK I use a bottle of Tescos multivits /minerals on top of magnesium for high BP and extra D for antiviral. (Edited: it doesn't have K2 only K1 so still taking that seperately. ) Been on the multi vits/minerals since Oct and any tiredness I had has completely gone. I thought my partially organic/ varied diet was all I needed. I was wrong.
Lauretta, Glad to hear that the supplements are working for you. Indeed it is hard to get all we need from our modern diets.
I am happy I discovered your channel because I was looking for info on vitamin k2. Very well explained. I have question thou, I am taking a pill combo with vitamin d 1000IU and K2 (m7 120mcg) in it and I am experiencing light-headed, could it be this this pill? Thank you.
I have never seen this reaction, maybe switch to another supplement with just MK-7 alone and see how it goes.
Happy Christmas all the way from Republic of Ireland fililipino. Thanks a million
Thank you, doctor. I've been on 50,000 IU D3 and 200 mcg K2 MK7 daily for over a year and a half now and have been feeling truly superb and in my best health ever since. I recognize that this is generally regarded as an extreme amount of D3 but I was convinced by the efficacy and safety of it after researching doctors who have successfully treated their patients long-term with comparable therapeutic dosages. My D3 blood levels are indeed well beyond the range that is considered excessive or even "toxic" (200-250) but thus far I can anecdotally report no apparent issues and no calcification of my vessels, kidneys, soft tissues etc. thank you

Thanks for uploading very informative information of k2
You're welcome :)
Excellent way of describing with so much clarity. Thanks.
Recent angiogram done shows multiple blocks in my arteries and I have been advised bypass. Can I take vitamin k7. I am on blood thinners currently. Thanks.
You should not use any form of vitamin K if you are on the blood thinner known as Coumadin. and always check it out with your physician
Dr. Brown, My husband is on blood pressure medication (Losartan 100mg) Can he take vitamin k2 natto together? love your channel. 💕

Thank you so much for this video.
I am 75 and after a recent bone health scan I was told that I have osteopenia. So I bought some Vitamin K2 softgels with 100mcg of MENAQ7 from chickpea. They recommend 1 a day. Given the long half life, will this be enough?

I take K2/m7 with 5-6000 d3 daily. As you say great for bone and I went off Prolia so did it for the bones. I fell and hit my head and had cat scan. Now I find out there are regions of decreased density in both hemispheres comparable with chronic micro vascular disease. Now if I have chronic small arteries in brain with I imagine I should be on thinning blood to get through,as I not hurting myself with these dosages. I’ve talked to my doctor and he believed FDA-medical medicine only. Knows nothing about vitamins. Can you help me with some suggestions.
I notice that my MK7 capsules are 100 micrograms in strength, and I only take one in the mornings. Others I have come across are 120 micrograms in strength. There also seems to be some difference in opinion on the amount that should be taken. 120 micrograms is one example. I take MK7 with Vit D3, which is 1000 IU.
Hi Stefan! At the Center for Better Bones and Alkaline for Life, we recommend taking 180 micrograms of MK-7 per day! Here is a link to our vitamin MK-7 product: bit.ly/3mUtakJ
review OsteoMD
What is the pharmacology classification of vitamin k by legal definition?
Is vitamin k2-7 still absorbed if your prescribed and take aspirin every day.
I had salivary gland stones which were quite painful - as long as I take Vit K2 they are gone. If I stop taking it - they reappear.
Thanks
☺️
🤗
Thanks for this great history lesson on vitamin k.. Only reason i started taking. K was for dark circles under my eyes .. Do you think k7 would be best vs k1 and k2 ??
There's no such thing as K7. You're thinking of vitamin K1 vs vitamin K2 as the MK7 form.
No. Many diff causes. Search ‘under eye dark circles’ online for related info and advice. Takes literally minutes.
Starting eating a kiwi a day for your eyes. Also, relax the kiwi on your dark circles like you would a cucumber.
First of all thank you for the information I started taking D3 and K2 vitamin supplement with oxbile 5mg because I have no gallbladder the question I have is if I am on a fast is it worth taking this supplements when I’m fasting do I have to eat it with food
Couldn't you take it with a tablespoon of coconut oil or virgin olive oil? Or perhaps a tablespoon of chia seeds in water?
I have osteoporosis am taking k2 with liquid calium magnesium. I am 68 yrs old had my gallbladder removed 2 years back is it ok to take k2 without a gallbladder? Thank-you. Enjoy your videos!!! Also I heard you should tell surgeon you take vitimin k2 before surgery. I take 100mcg a day
Hello! We're so glad you like our videos! We suggest speaking with your doctor about taking K2 without a gallbladder. Also, you are correct about notifying surgeons about vitamin K2 before surgery. It is important to notify surgeons of any supplements and medications you are taking.
Plus now because I have been prescribed both Vitamin D2 1.25 MG & 50,000 IU, now I have 50% blockage in my neck. Please Help!!!
Dear doctor, thanks for this very informative presentation.
I take 1 gram of natto powder every day. K2 should be in it. Do you have an idea how much K2 in 1 gram of this powder? I mean, should I take extra K2 to reach the amount of 180 mcg?

A teaspoon of Natto blended in coffee takes care of the taste problem for those that don't like it. Il like the taste of natto made from black turtle beans. I sometimes make it from Mung beans and Barley as well.
👍 Great idea Jacques.
If the coffee is cool, don't want to put it in hot anything. I make my own natto to me it tastes like burnt coffee. I add soy sauce and mustard and it's better tasting
Make sure the natto is added after the coffee has cooled down a bit or else the heat will kill the bacteria. Misso is also high in k2. I always wondered why misso soup was never served very hot, until I learnt that heat kills the bacteria in misso (and natto).
@@annalane5430 vitamin K isn't destroyed by cooking heat. The natto bacteria likes heat, the bacteria is added to cooked beans when it's still 80 celcius / 175 F whereas the temperature of coffee is 60/140F. The range for the organism used in Miso is: 45C / 114 it doesn't like the heat as much as the natto organism.
Statins inhibit the synthesis of Vitamin K2 in the body - thereby actually accelerating coronary artery calcification (according to Japanese scientists writing in Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, March 2015). Will K2 supplementation overcome this statin interruption of the K2 mechanism?
I am taking D3 5000 IU +K2, Zinc and magnesium. I had problem with my knees, since I took them my problem slowly disappearing.
Great to hear! ❤️ Learn more in our next Love Your Bones, Love Your Life Course in September bit.ly/3sNNV38
Do you take them everyday? Isn't 5000 IU high?
Who knew mortal Kombat would be so useful
Natto tastes great, it is not tofu, they are beans. I eat it regularly, I get it from a company in NY
LOL you may be the only person outside of Japan who likes the taste.
Dr, I had blood clots in my lungs about two years ago and am on Eliquis. Would taking Vit K2 be dangerous for me?
We would recommend talking with you doctor before taking Vitamin K.
Hi doctor so if the blood is thick should not take vitamin k is that correct
والله ما بعرف بس 10 معالق زيت زيتون بتعطيكي الDaily limit
Is it safe to take Vit. D and Vit K2 SPRAY to replenish their deficiencies, if one is unable to assisimilate them orally? Pl guide.
A spray from a reputable manufacturer is probably fine although we do not use that form of D or K and are not too familiar with this kind of product.
It,s processerd soy that makes me violently ill. Allergic. How can we be suRe they used chick peas?
If K2 remove calcium from plaque, will this cause plaque rupture?
I was looking all over for some clarification about vit k. Thank you for this video!
You're welcome Nancy!
Should I be concerned about my bloodwork showing my Vitamin k levels at > 2500. It was above normal. I was not fasting when I took the test. I appreciate any opinions
Stacey - we really don't know what type of vitamin K you are taking or the units your test was measuring. It's best to ask your practitioner to interpret these results. Best wishes!
Hi Dr Susan.... Plz plz guide me.... My father has 2 stents.... Is diabetic takes insulin n cholestrol lowering drug not warfarin..... I want him to take vit D3... It should be taken with k2 mk7... Is it safe for him to take k2 mk7 in this scenario.... Plz ans my query... Anyone who has authentic knowledge.... Should i start with like 45 mcg vit k2 with 1000 or 2000 iu vit d3.... Would this be safe.....
the upper limit of such patients is 150...keep it around 80-90 with d 5000
Look up sea moss. Irish seamoss this will help your dad. You will thank me later. Look up Dr.sebi on sea moss.
Can Vit K2 [MK7] interfere with the blood thinner Apixaban I have to take for heart disease?
You are going to want to consult with your Dr. before starting any vitamin k if you are taking blood thinners. It is typically not recommended.
Apixaban is not affected by vitamin K1 like warfarin is. Warfarin and apixaban work differently.
What about k2?
What’s the best quality k2 supplement to buy for my mom ?
Hello! We recommend the following: shop.betterbones.com/pages/rems-events

Thank you Doctor Susan Brown🛡️♀️🎥🫖🍋🍿🌞🌐🚭 for Explaining the Importance of Vitamin K😊
You're welcome! Hope you enjoyed the video!
But don't we convert the k1 to the k3 and so if it has the k1 and K2- as MK4 and Mk7.. wouldn't it all together be enough?
For bone you ideally want 180 to 200 mcg MK-7, this is not derived from K1
That’s instead oh 180 dose. Sorry didn’t put that in previous message
Gloria, 180 mcg is the daily dosage that Dr. Brown recommends. Here is our K2 (MK-7) product. bit.ly/31CZDmb
If I take calcium I get constipated and I don't know how to prevent that it seems to be the worst thing that can happen to me I would rather have the opposite problem than this
K2 is calcium. Even when I take magnesium it doesn't help. Since nobody has ever brought that up I'm beginning to wonder if it's just a personal problem for me and no one else is bothered by it
It affects me too.
Having same problem, I'm taking K2 with vitamin D3
Thanks for mentioning it, because I’m taking k2 & D3 and experiencing the same thing.
Take Metamucil
I take 200 micro.gr of MK-7. Is that too much ? Best regards from France !!
Sylvie, Here at Better Bones we do recommend 180-200 mcg of MK7 so you are right on target!
I have some vitamin k toxicity...how can i get rid ? Pls guide me

Why r we just now hearing about this vit?!
Why.would we be low when it,s in food?
Is this dr. Selking vit.s too? I have a bowl full of every new vit. They tell us is the new thing now!
What can I do if I’m taking Coumadin and I should be taking vitamin K
Hello! Please consult with your doctor before taking vitamin K.
How do you know if the brand is using Chick pea or natto?
To know the source material of the MK7 you’re using you must talk to the manufacturer. We at Alkaline For Life Use a chickpea source. Best wishes, Susan Brown
Question....when I take Vitamin MK7 my blood pressure sky rockets and I have like a panic attack. What causes this? I need it for my bones... Can natto supplements work the same as MK7 supplements?? I do buy Natto occasionally and like it... May buy a case and store it in my freezer.
Natto is the original source of MK7 and great to use!
Also, if you can take Natto and not have a reaction, it is unlikely that the MK7 is bothering you, rather a different ingredient in this formula. I would suggest taking a different formula.

I have been prescribed for Atorvastatin 20mg, Telmisartan/HCT 80mg/12.5mg, Vitamin D3 1000IU and Aspirin 100mg, should I be taking Mk 7 180mcg? Due to the fact that Aspirin is a blood thinner?Thanks
Dr. Susan E. Brown
Dr. Brown recommends 180- 200 mcg of MK7 and as long as you are not on a blood thinner she does not have a concern about taking higher doses of Vitamin K.
K2 Mk-7 gave me bad heart palpitations. I am hoping Mk-4 does not. Might be a histamine thing... I am sensitive to it.
Do yo try mk-4?
Started taking D3 1000 iu and k3 120 mcg (softgel form)daily last month but experienced muscle spasms and a weak right leg! I take vit C 1000mg with calcium lactate gluconate 129 mg and calcium carbonate 131 mg but not daily. Im 65 yo. Stopped the D3 n K2. Dont know if I shld continue.

Too much calcium. Sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium should always balance.
Can't do without natto on a slice of bread with some mustard😊
Sounds like a great way to incorporate Vitamin K into your diet! Thanks for sharing!
I've been eating only plant based diet for about 35-36 years especially lots of green leafs , lately I realized not only my blood thicker but also my arteries are calcified , my personal observation is that this is due to effects Vitamin K from eating lots of greens , I'm still on plant base diet however eat very very little green leafs but eat everything else ! I started taking Omega fish oils my blood is thinner , soon I'm going to start taking Vitamin K2 to see if this lessens the calcification of my arteries .
I’m a vegan past 3 years to cure lymphoma. However, I have calcium deposits (uric acid crystals) in every bone and joint in my body. Plant based diets are deficient in K2. You must take Vit K2 as a supplement or sauerkraut, natto, etc. I wish someone had told me which would have avoided so much pain in my hands. Been on K2 for a month but it will probably take 3-6 months to heal my body. Look at Dr Berg’s videos on uric acid although he is a meat eater, there is some useful info there. Check out Dr Mercola on Vit K2, he is a good man with lots of natural health knowledge. Good luck, you are on the best diet in the world currently, contrary to what most failed vegans say. You HAVE to have the right vitamins and educate yourself to get well, doctors know very, if nothing, about nutrition. My diet is healing my body of cancer but unfortunately I have suffered through lack of Vit K2.
K2 alone won't help. According to your diet (no fish), you won't get enough vD to work in tandem with K. Unless you eat a pound of Portabella mushrooms every day / or 25 hard boiled eggs.
Pietro Cantuccini Thanks... I'm taking 5000iu of Vitamin D3 every alternate days for the last three (3) months so far so good ...took blood test recently test results came back days ago everything seems super perfect except only my uric acid is slightly above the normal range !
@@karend5327 thank tou for sharing your experience. I've been treating reumathoid artrits (RA) with high doses of vitamin D (Coimbra protocol) qnd despite getting the diesease under control I Stilo have some pain once or twice a month. So nos I'm transitioning to a plant based diet.
What do you think about MK7 as MenaQ7® ?
Our Vitamin K formula supplies a significant amount of biologically active vitamin K in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7). We think it is an important nutrient for your bones.
MenaQ7 Is the form of vitamin K we use and support. This brand conducts a great deal of research it is really moving the science of vitamin K ahead
Can you take Vitamin K, when using a blood thinner?
If you take Coumadin® (warfarin) or other prescription blood thinners or are pregnant, consult your physician before taking Vitamin K.
Simplify! What.do we buy? Just 7? Greens daily, no prob. Fermented anything ,😻no.
Hello! K2 in the form of MK-7 is best! Studies have shown doses of 180-200 mcg work great! (www.betterbones.com/bone-nutrition/vitamin-k-mk-7-super-nutrient/) Dr. Brown offers a K2 supplement in the form of MK-7 here: alkalineforlife.com/collections/alkaline-for-life/products/mk-7
How to take vitamin d 50000 I use once a week can I take K2. I found out I got calcifying in my arteries in my heart how long will it take for K2 to clear this up for me please get back with me thank you.
Does mk4 help to remove calcium already in the arteries?
@@xyz987123abc about k7 will that do the same thing. K4 please get back with me let me know and then what good brand could I use it's really good
yes once a week will do in a years time..along with k2
I am no doctor. However, how high is your calcium score? If over 400---they say you're at major risk for a heart attack/stroke within a few years. I don't know how long it takes for k2/Mk7 & the other dietary food I eat for to reduce atherosclerosis. But get a stress test. A tomography. Atherosclerosis comes with age. Although it doesn't exactly mean your arteries are clogged just because you have a high calcium score. It's just a prodicter. Google it. One guy had a calcium score of 1,300. The doctor actually said, 'oh don't worry about it. Sometimes these test aren't accurate....'. When I went for my blood work, I stunned 2 doctors. They wanted to know how I lowered my cholesterol. Which wasn't so high. But I got it down further. Garlic cloves every evening with dinner. Apple cider vinegar. Zinc. Magnesium. Lots of oatmeal. Some people have a low calcium score but yet die of heart attacks. Some say it's generics. Hey, you gotta work out too. Not heavely. Walk. I walk about 2 miles 3 times a week. The culprit is since most people don't get enough vitamin k2 Mk7----the calcium goes to the arteries, instead to your bones. Lots of junk food does not have hardly any of vitamin k2 Mk7. Thus, calcification goes to arteries. See your cardiologist and get a stress test. If you pass it, it's good. But still. Not perfect. There are so many foods that help reducing plaque and calcium buildup.
The less calories you consume----the less atherosclerosis. I try & stay at about 800 calories a day. I think this was why I stunned my doctors.... But there are people who eat salads 3 times a day, yet their sugar is still high. Some people just don't respond to diet. Predisposed. Good luck.
Andwer to your question here: ua-cam.com/video/szUIX-rnJ8c/v-deo.html&feature=emb_title
I’ve been using k2, mk7 and just accidentally ordered 240 instead. Is that to high ? Please answer.
No just have it every other day
@6:25 listen again to this part. If you mean 240 ug/mcg (micrograms) MK7 then no it’s only 40 mcg more. Take every other day of concerned but daily is prob safe. Check with your pharmacist if on other meds and research online. Easy and quick to do.
@21:05 I suppose she means vitamin D as IUs. 1000 IUs equal 25 micrograms (ug), so 1000 _milligrams_ (mg) would be an insane amount of vitamin D, even 1000 ugs would be too much daily for practically anyone, that’s 40 000 IUs.
(An understandable slip in quite a long talk.)
HI Pete, we use the measurement ng for Vitamin D, sorry for any confusion! The normal range of vitamin D is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
@@DrSusanBrown thank's for the response! _Intake_ vs blood levels are of course 2 different things. With blood level the measurement is obviously per some volume (like ng/mL), but I suppose @21:05 in the video the question is about intake, not blood level value, isn't it. The typical US unit is IU, but in (at least northern) europe micrograms are used. 1000 IU is 25 ug.
(Such a pity that all these multiple units are used, and not just with vit. D. There's always a possibility for confusion.)

Hello! Dr. Brown considered kefir a superfood for bone health! It is also an excellent source of vitamin K2.
Thanks for the video very helpful please help for the k2 how many can someone take a day
Gabriel,

Thank you for watching!
Goat cheese have k2?
Yes, K2 is found in fermented foods. Cheese does contain some K2. Different cheeses vary but goat cheese will also contain K2. The more aged the cheese, the better.
So does egg yolks
Why mk4 works better for some buddy when compare with mk7. Can see mk4 effect on teeth right away no tarter on teeth but mk7 same dose for same time no effect on teeth.
MK-4 is the way to go.
cheese ==> MK4
Tartar is composed of 4 minerals, cellular and extra cellular matrix. The cells are mainly bacteria and several species of yeast. Tartar is a calcified deposit that forms on the teeth. Plaque can eventually turn to tartar from minerals in the saliva. Dental plaque is soft, while tartar is hard. Plaque can be removed by brushing and flossing habits. Try removing the plaque with a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss before it becomes tarter instead of using Mk4 in accordance with the recommendation of the American Dental Association.
MK-7 has definitely helped my teeth. Within the past year of taking MK-7, my dental hygienist has not had to scrape my teeth to remove plaque/tarter ….before K2, the hygienist spent some time removing plaque/tarter
K2 dose blood clothing as k1?
No I don't think so.
