Vit K recommendation

Hi everyone,

I'd like to get a Vitamin K in soft gel (because I keep forgetting to take the drops!). Which ones do you recommend?

I saw vitabay and vegavero mentioned on forum in older posts, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Links to where I can buy these would be helpful, too.

Once more: thank you! :)

it was Seaside Susie who regularly recommended these. It’s so sad she is no longer with us.

She said that they were German brands sometimes available on Amazon but often out of stock.

From an old Susie post:

if you're taking vit D, you should also be taking vit K2-MK7. Taking vit D increases absorption of calcium from food, so you need the K2 to make sure that extra calcium goes into the teeth and bones, and doesn't build up in the soft tissues and arteries.

When taking D3 you need 90-100mcg K2-MK7 for up to 10,000iu D3 and my suggestions are

Vitabay, Vegavero or Vitamaze brands which all contain the correct form of K2-MK7 - the "All Trans" form rather than the "Cis" form. The All Trans form is the bioactive form, a bit like methylfolate is the bioactive form of folic acid.

Vitabay and Vegavero are either tablets or capsules.

Vitabay does do an oil based liquid.

Vitamaze is an oil based liquid.

With the oil based liquids the are xx amount of K2-MK7 per drop so you just take the appropriate amount of drops.

They are all imported German brands, you can find them on Amazon although they do go out of stock from time to time. I get what I can when I need to restock. If the tablet or capsule form is only in 200mcg dose at the time I take those on alternate days.
