💊 Is Vitamin K2 the Missing Link for Better Health?

[@AliceR27]

I truly believe many, many doctors want to do the best for their patients, but aren't educated in nutrition and are greatly hampered by the administration in healthcare facilities. Most people don't understand what goes on behind the scenes with doctors at the administrative level. I went to see a cardiologist for preventative purposes, told him how my A1c dropped from 5.4 to 5.0 after starting 60mcg of K2 MK-7, and right there he says, "Oh," pulls it up on the computer and starts asking me if this is what I was talking about, pointing to the bottles online with D3 and K2 formulations. He had no clue.

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Yes, we don’t learn much about the importance of vitamins and supplements in medical school. Our education is heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry. This is really a shame because when vitamins and minerals are deficient, our immune system is not working well and medications also will not give us the outcome they’re capable of.

[@Keithzzzzt]

Because there is more profit in chemo, surgery and radiation and most Drs know squat about nutritional cures. Big pharma is not interested in cheap cures. Chemo drugs are more profitable.

[@Fern_Yaz_Pets_Music]

Same with everything government do. Make a big profit from food sugar industries. Drug company profit. Odd to think that doctors training in the 6 years doesn't include more than 8 hours in total with nutrition training. They test for vit D levels Don't think they would know what a vitamin K2 is. Said eggs were unhealthy at one time. Eat low fat? 🤣 Fill yourself with rice, pasta porridge? Eat a breakfast? Snack through the day? Fasting is the best medicine in what I've read. Do you.know if you read that garlic does shrink tumors in rats. They wouldn't do these tests, they just say it's not proved. So so cheap. A lot of people say there is a cure. How many researchers would lose their high paid jobs and high mortgages if they found one? K2 you can buy quite cheap in a shop. Or eat eggs, cheese yogurts any foods that have it. Nil profit.

I just started K2 MK-7 anout a year ago, first 60mcg and now 120mcg. I think I will go up to 240mcg. I started it due to atherosclerosis and was interested in the effect on cholesterol. I got an unexpected result at just 60mcg - my A1c dropped from 5.4 to 5.0 and has stayed there. I already take D3 due to low vitamin D level. Am planning on lowering carbs, but I definitely can't go carnivore for many reasons, the medical reason being nausea from meat fats since childhood. Dairy fats and nuts are fine. Even magnesium, had no idea until a couple of months ago. Wanted to see if it would help with sleep, learned about deficiencies in people, got another unexpected result. I get burning in the bottom of my feet from a lot of walking and that has almost disappeared since taking 80 mg 3x a day of magnesium. Yeah, we have to be our own doctors and experiment on ourselves simply because doctors aren't taught and our healthcare systems are geared toward endstage treatment rather than diet and prevention.

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Thank you for your detailed post. Yes, vitamin D3 and K2 are crucial for immune health, as well as blood sugar management. It’s great that you had these results even at 60 MCG.

Great and interesting video! Some, I think, important remarks: 1) the MAX TESTED SAFE doses are as follows: MK4: 45000 mcg/day, equals 45 mg MK7: 3x7360 mcg/wk equals 7.4 mg. The MK4 dose was tested by Japanese, MK7 dose is reported in " Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of the Effect of Treatment with Vitamin K2 on Vascular Calcification in Hemodialysis Patients (Trevasc-HDK)" 2) people treated with blood thinners of the Warfarin /Coumarin type cannot combine this with K2. They should consult with their prescribing physician to change their medication. 3. There is some conflicting information... I believed that MK7 is advantageous above MK4, but I read the following article from Dr. J. Neustadt: " MK4 or MK7, Which is Better for Bones?" OK, I hope this was helpful

[@JonasKuehneMD]

[@JonasKuehneMD]

I’m very sorry for your loss and completely understand your anger. It is very frustrating that physicians are not more supportive of non-pharmacological treatments that can be used together with traditional methods like chemotherapy. Even the off label use of medications like ivermectin should be considered as it is a very safe drug to administer. There is no guarantee that other modalities will have an impact, but I think it is important to try in order to improve the chances of the patient. There are many articles in the literature that show that the addition of high dose, intravenous vitamin C can increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy and decrease side effects. Many oncologist do not know about this.

Great video! In my view the missing link to why many people struggle with D3 and K2 levels is the accumulation of excessive amounts of vitamin A. In a vitamin A toxic state K2 and D3 are pushed out of the system. I wonder why vitamin A fortification is a thing, when it is not even hard to find in common foods and a toxicity has dire consequences. Vitamin A overload is easily one of the faster ways to get cancer to grow via the mechanisms you describe when K2 and D3 are lacking. I also know that chances are high that my take is controversial and oversimplified, but still a sceptical debate on vitamin A should be had in nutrition science.

[@monnoo8221]

yes, not appropriate, as you say yourself. Retinol is higher in people being healthy and in very old people. I seems to be associated with healthy longevity. Direct effects on the methylation status have been demonstrated, turning cells into their younger selfs. That's why. Now to your claim: the interaction between those vitamins you are pointing to are from in vitr studies. And their results are even conflicting. Epidemiologically, vitamin A from natural sources is much more likely to be found as deficient than in concentations that would be toxic.

Nature is still perceived by many as the enemy, which has to be overcome by means of engineering. All the materialistic, modernist and positivistic attitudes are informed by that. as medical professionals, you can evade that only by returning prior to the rise of engineering... just as you did, as far back as to Hippocrate. One gets all to easy assigned the quack property, or the flower pwer along with a certain naivity. believing in engineering means beleieving in linearity, top down control free of context.

Does the amount of K-2 daily dosages increase proportionally in relation to the amount of D-3 taken daily, as well ? For example, if you're taking 400 mg of K-2 in tandem with 5-10,000 IU's, does that mean that for higher does of D-3... such as 50,000 to 100,000 IU's... that the corresponding dosage of K-2 also, be increased to 4,000 mg's of K-2 ?

I believe that was sarcasm when you wondered why there were no trials? The answer is: because there is no financial incentive to research a natural compound that cannot be patented

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Correct! This is where the government should finance research; but they are financially influenced

I have cll I’m on an immunotherapy treatment called Acalabrutinib. I would like to take this supplement. Can you please recommend a good brand.

[@doejohn8674]

Make sure it is the MK7 version

[@lucylu0615]

@ thank you💕

[@JonasKuehneMD]

I am currently using the one featured in the video from sports research. I take 5000 to 10,000 IU D3 and 400 MCG K2. Since each 5000 D3 comes only with 100 MCGK2, I bought extra K2 from the same manufacturer. This is of course, not medical advice and you should discuss this with your treating physician. You could also discuss the implementation of metabolic therapy with your treating physician. This has been very successful in my practice. There is a link in the video.

[@chrisstepleton4761]

I take a 5000 vit D that has 200mg K2- MK 7 by Now.

[@chrisstepleton4761]

I am a retired podiatrist and came down with bladder cancer 2 years ago. It was surgically removed, and I had chemo and bcg treatments. My internist put me on 5000IU of Vit D and 200 mg of K2 MK-7. So far, the cancer has not come back. As far as the pharmaceutical companies not getting involved with Vit K2 is because there is no money in it. Also if the public found out that using Allulose, a simple sugar, was used in your coffee or on your cereal every day, you could get the same results as Ozempic and pharmaceutical companies could lose millions of dollars. Allulose binds to the same receptor site that Ozempic does and does not raise the glycemic index, but that is a video for another day. Just stumbled onto your video. Thank you for the great information.

very interesting 🤔

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Glad you think so!

[@michaelberman3648]

Were you also aware that vitamin D3 doesn’t work efficiently and effectively unless there is enough magnesium present to act as a vital cofactor to this steroid molecule, vitamin D3. I think we really require that “trifecta” of nutrients which is 1. Vitamin D3 @ 50 to 100 ppb 2. Vitamin K2 @ 300 milligrams MK7 + 40,000 milligrams MK4 3. Magnesium-L-glycinate @ 450 mg as Mg in men & 350 mg in women

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Yes, the combination with magnesium, K2 and zinc is very important.

[@kenneyg100]

The answer is probably big pharma and that there is no money is prescribing these cheap supplements!

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Very true!

I make kefir with whole milk and try to have a small glass daily

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Amazing! I eat Greek yogurt daily, but do not have the patience or skill to make it.

[@KaS-lb8qr]

It would be so helpful if you could tell us how you make kefir from milk ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@RooibaardBoerseun]

Yeah healthcare today cares more about the money and not so much about the health care. It should be rebranded as Health-moneycare.

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Good point!

[@deborahd.7281]

Some people advise to take the D3 and K2 at different times so that they don't interfere with each other for absorption.

[@JonasKuehneMD]

I have not seen good evidence for this in the literature. I usually do take them together because otherwise I will forget.

[@raytry69]

Yes!

You keep pointing at invisible videos. Are you seeing dead videos?

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Dang… I am. Thank you for pointing this out

[@scottishfoldmocha5875]

K2 MK-7 is definitely involved in clotting.

[@JonasKuehneMD]

From pubmed: MK-7 supplementation at recommended dosage does not affect vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors’ coagulation activity, and does not enhance the carboxylation of prothrombin in healthy individuals. This indicated that MK-7 administration does not alter hemostatic balance in healthy populations without anticoagulation treatment.

[@epiphanyknows9308]

Lol, I literally just ordered this vitamin and took one and then this came up.

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Amazing! 😅🙏

[@LJOBOYLE]

You did figure it out: because it is "cheap."

[@JonasKuehneMD]

Sadly, that might be the reason.

[@patrickenmarinapauwels6078]

You’re essentially answering your own question as to why no millions are being invested in further research into the non-patentable K2 therapy… patents mean big money for the pharma industry.

[@JonasKuehneMD]

I know. I’m still hopeful that at some point the government will invest in funding some of these studies that corporations will not.
