Apixaban & Vitamin K2

[tcpace]

Dr John Campbell recently suggested that it's a good idea to take vit K2 with vit D3 as it helps route calcium to the bones rather than tissue.

Does anyone know if taking vit K2 with apixaban is a problem? According to Google there doesn't seem to be any interaction between K2 and apixaban but, if anyone knows of any issues to be taken into account, your input would be appreciated.

Hello tcpaceLike most others I am not qualified to advise. But if this helps at all, based on reading similar information, I have been taking K2 (mk7) for years and continued doing so when I started taking Apixaban, although I was terrifed initially! I also take magnesium.

Apixaban caused a host of awful side effects which I had to struggle to cope with, but none were due to K2 as they remained persistant regardless of taking K2 or not.

I have, however, stopped having Natto itself, as I'm not sure about the safety of nattokiniase with Apixaban and can't find anyone able to advise me. Better safe than sorry!

I always read the paperwork inside each new box of Apixaban just incase there are any new warnings inside.

It's all a bit scary isn't it? Good luck!

Please make sure you use vitamin K2 M7 Please check out This is the one to take regarding moving calcium from blood into bones

Like others hear in the UK I use Lamberts for some supplements and they do a combined Vit D/K2 supplement and have a responsive technical queries dept. NB I have no commercial interest in them and just mention the name simply because I think it is more helpful.

I started taking vitamin K2M7about 6 months ago after increasing my Vitamin D intake and had already been having Apixaban for about 18 months. Having some hair loss from Apixaban but continuing to take as don't want to have a stroke and Apixaban is supposed to be the best of the new DOAC's anticoagulants for various reasons. No problems with the K2M7 other than my nails are the strongest they have ever been, no longer weak and breaking all the time, hopefully a sign that calcium is being diverted from my soft tissues and into my bones and nails, hopefully a win win from me.

I’d speak to your doctor beforehand. Even innocent seeming supplements can have an undesired effect

You're right of course but it's still worth sounding out people on this forum. I've learnt far more from using HU than I've ever learnt from a doctor.
