Any info on vitamin K2 ?

I'm planning to ask my neph about Vitamin K2 in upcoming visit.

I've heard that Kefir has some K2, but I'd like to know more.

Thanks OC. Most of that info is over my head 🙄

However, I've checked into foods that contain K2 and

I'm pretty sure my neph will agree that's the way to go.

Kefir is a dairy product isn't it? Ideally, kidney patients should avoid dairy.

[newbie56 in reply to WildIris]

Kefir is a healthy fermented food with a consistency comparable to drinkable yogurt. This product is traditionally made from dairy milk, but plenty of nondairy options are available. Studies suggest that it boosts your immune system, aids in digestive problems, improves bone health, and may even combat cancer. (Maybe i've been reading too much)😁

if you are post menopausal ask for estrogen...the tabs you just insert twice a week. That helped me in a lot of ways. My numbers were better too.

Actually my friend Brenda who is also in her 80s is the one who told me about it.

[newbie56 in reply to RoxanneKidney]

Interesting ... i'll check it out 😀

She was having problems with urinary tract infections and those tabs stopped those.
