Time to stock up?
I’m thinking of adding this k2 complex to the mix after watching yesterday’s podcast on vitamin k2.
Hardy’s daily essential nutrients has k2 in it ( 3 x 45 mcg per day) but the podcast suggests the benefits from it require at least 320 per day and this vitacost product is very strong
I have just bought Solgar K2 (7) in 100 mcg softgel tabs. I guess we will need to take 3 per day...or are you mean to take K1 as well? That is a complex tablet above combining both...now a bit confused. I will need to listen to podcast again 😉
I’m not sure. I think the k2 7 is the important one, and the other ones the body converts if it is able. I think your one should do the job, but I just mentioned the above as it was a good price and on the vita cost bogo 50% off special. I am not necessarily recommending it yet as we haven’t tried it, but it seems to have good feedback, although sometimes I suspect it’s just because people like the price and speed it arrives, and not because it works!
You're right, K2 MK-7 is the most beneficial for PwP. My husband is taking K1 but I will add K2 MK-7. K1, in its liquid form for better absorption, is by Biotics Research. I was looking for K2 same brand as it was recommended by Dr. Mischley (D3 though), but they don't have K2. I finally decided on Easy Melts: amazon.com/EZ-Melts-Menaqui...
See parkbears comment below.
Thanks! I thought though in the podcast it says that K1 is readily available in green Vegas and K2 is only manufactured in the gut? I wish there was a definate recommendation as to what to take...so confusing.
More recent research seems to indicate it is vitamin K1 rather than K2 that is needed. This is an excellent product because it has everything - K1 and both forms of K2. I take this one or an equivalent by another manufacturer.
Oh well, at least this is covering all bases! Wish they’d make up their minds😊. Do you have the paper on that? Thanks.
Here are my writings on the subject which include links to references:

Hey there park_bear. I have very recently been learning about the wonders of vitamin K2. I've been reading the book Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox, and I have been quite impressed. However, I'm really glad that I saw your Daily Kos piece above just now. It's led me to comments questioning the superiority of the mk-7. Other people argue that mk-4 is better because it gets more distributed in the body, rather than staying in the blood. I'm about to buy some Carlson Labs Vitamin K2 MK-4, 5mg, which seem to have very good reviews.
EDIT: I'm returning to your first Daily-Kos article, and I see that for YOU, mk-7 worked better. Fair enough. I will probably try to take both.
As I mention in the piece I take a combo with both versions of vitamin K 2+ vitamin K-1, currently :
amazon.com/gp/product/B01K3....
Some research showing K-1 is necessary and other research showing K2 is necessary so I take both.
when you say this is an excellent product is there a specific product you are referring to?
I think you meant to ask parkbear? I think he must be referring to the vitacost one I said I’m ordering above in my post.
