Vitamin K 2 and the Calcium Paradox How a Little- Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life by Kate Rhéaume- Bleue

This is an excerpt from a book on K2 I hope it answers your questions 😊

Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium from the intestines, which is a good thing for bone health. Certainly, vitamin D and calcium supplementation together have been shown to increase bone density better than either one alone. However, once calcium is absorbed into the blood stream, vitamin D has no power over what happens to it, which is a potentially bad thing for heart health. Some calcium will find its way into your bones, but more of it might wind up in your arteries. Vitamin K 2 tips the balance in favor of bone and artery health by putting calcium in its place.

When vitamin D is lacking, vitamin K 2 can't do its job escorting calcium away from arteries and into bones.

The sunshine vitamin truly is a wonder nutrient, if it has all the necessary allies needed to fulfill its potential. More vitamin D is better for heart health to a certain point, after which more is worse. Exactly where that point is depends on vitamin K 2 . Having plenty of K 2 enables us to profit from vitamin D like never before. If for years you have been following expert advice by dutifully gobbling up calcium and vitamin D, vitamin K 2 not only will allow you to finally reap all the benefits of those nutrients, it might just save your life.

A, D and K 2 : Are Balancing Act Vitamins A, D and K 2 are intricately interrelated in complex ways that modern science doesn't yet entirely understand. That being said, the fundamental importance of these nutrients as the foundation of good health is so critical, yet so underappreciated, that this book would be incomplete without a chapter devoted to their special relationship. As much as “Vitamin K 2 is the ultimate supernutrient!” makes a great headline, the fact is that the benefits of K 2 are dependent on vitamins A and D— and, for many aspects of health, the opposite is also true.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Lola,

That was extremely helpful; and explained how different vitamin supplements need each other to work together.

Hi Nytsom, I got my K2 with my Vit D... But, you do get 200 as apposed to the 60 caps you are looking at, nearly everyone in England is short of D, I feel tons better in myself for taking the combination 😊 don't know if they do them as a single Vitamin.
