Who needs Vitamin K the most? NEW study on Aortic Calcification and Vitamin K2

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

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!!!

[@stanleysokolow]

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.

[@DEValentine]

[@leifhall2289]

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".

[@stanleysokolow]

@Leif Hall -- Of course, pharma companies only fund research that might lead to a very profitable drug they can sell at high prices. That's where our government health science agencies should come in to fund research that may benefit the public without a profit incentive. Here's an example where an excellent study was funded by The Netherlands:"Supported by a grant from the Health Research and Development Council (ZON), The Hague, The Netherlands (Grant No. 28.2388)." It's part of the Rotterdam study which found that dietary intake of phylloquinone (K1) was NOT associated with a reduced risk of artery calcification and coronary heart disease, whereas dietary intake of food rich in K2 was associated with reduced risk: "The results of this study suggest a protective effect of dietary menaquinone intake against CHD in older men and women. As indicated by the inverse association with all-cause mortality, high intake of menaquinone does not increase the risk for other major diseases, such as cancer. There was no consistent association of phylloquinone intake with CHD, mortality, or aortic calcification."

One afternoon lecture spent on the food pyramid and a couple more lectures on vitamins was the sum total within a 7 year period.

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.

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.

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.

13:12 It is not surprising that there was no significant difference, becaus 25micrograms /ml is a very low dose ofVitamin D3. I had two plaques in my carotid arteries, (25% one side, 35% on the other.) very slowly increasing for many years. In an effort to remove them, I took 200micrograms of Vitamin D3 and the same of Vitamin K2 daily and after about 5 months both plaques had disappeared. Probably, I did not need the K2 suplementation, as I have plenty of leafy greens in my diet. The fact that I get most of my calories from fat, may also have helped absortion.

[@kirbywaite1586]

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.

[@edwcnj1]

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.

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.

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.

[@rredding]

I assume you combine this with enough magnesium and vitamin A. You may want to do a deep dive on Boron (Borium).

[@DutchmanAmsterdam]

@@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.

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.

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.

Virtually all "grass fed" pastuered cows around the world are given a pro-rata feed of mixed grains, corn, and maybe canola, flax meal etc. But the cow's ruminant stomach can covert much of the toxic LA to CLA. It all depends on the amount non grass feeds the animal gets. In some eastern european countries during the cold months the cows are kept indoors and given nothing but cheap wheat, corn, sunflower seed roughage (no hay or silage at all) So that linoleic acid can be around 30% in their butter instead of hovering around the usual 2%. But a cow that's 100% grasses fed has higher levels of vitamins A D K &E eminating from the healthy saturated fats. Non-ruminant chickens and pigs store their feeds (mainly soy, corn, grains, seeds etc) in their fat tissues which many people end up eating. Beware of cows that are intense grain finished several weeks prior to slaughter in which the inflammatory polyunsaturated fats can be quite high (though this occurs fulltime in the 🇺🇸 mid belt regions) From the scientific studies i've seen, the MK 4 vitamin D version seems to have the positive beneficial effects

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.

Vit K1 vs. vit K2? They are different and this needs to be specified

I have been diagnosed with PHPT (primary hyperparathyroidism) and take K2 with D3. Thank you for your information.÷))

[@gayedawn1]

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.

Thank you. Can the levels of fluoride used in drinking water interfere with the bodies absorption of vitamin K2 ?

[@theancientsancients1769]

I would be we recommend tap water ! At least get a filter

[@peterconry4732]

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.

[@artytomparis]

@@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.

[@paulmaxwell8851]

@@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.

@@FriendlyPharmacy5 Hi. Just had angioplasty. I'm taking Aspirin and Ticagrelor. Been contemplating on taking K2 for many years now because of what I read it removes arterial plaque.( Didn't know back then I have clogged arteries). Question: will supplementing with K2 have interactions with my meds?

@@FriendlyPharmacy5 Yes ma'am!

[@moodberry]

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?

[@Dazdazzler72]

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.

[@ID-fl6of]

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…

Lindsay -- thank-you for sharing this data connecting vitamin D3 & K2. I liked you in this presentation -- very clear-spoken! ♡♡ 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: “Vitamin K1 is the predominant form of vitamin K present in the diet [6,7]. 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.” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6413124/ Hope this helps!

[@nicholasb1784]

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?

[@blackie8306]

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.
