There’s two forms of K2. Neither interfere with anti coagulation drugs. K1 does exacerbate the blood thinners.
K2 and magnesium is needed for utilization of D3 to support the proper absorption of calcium.
That’s an awfully long ad.
She repeats herself a lot. It’s like those links where you have to keep clicking to find the end after they meander all over the place following odd rabbit trails.
ok
Hmm that is directly,opposite of what most articles o. The subject state. They state that k is needed so that stones don’t form, as it supposedly,redirects calcium in the. Blood stream back to the bones- as your article suggests- that seems to,be the standard viewpoint from all I’ve read onmthe issue.
The article seems to be saying 2 things opposite, that k causes calcium to remain in blood, then in another sentence that k redirects calcium back to bones? Am I reading it wrong?
When I was severely low in d (the number was 8) they put me on high dose d. And I got stones like mad- the stones stopped when I stopped the d.
For example, vitamin D can be obtained with a walk in some sunshine and fresh air, or just sitting on your rocking chair on your porch. The sunshine provokes vitamin D synthesis in your body.

That would be a “no”, it’s not that easy to get.
If you want the truth about getting Vit D, check this out .... researchers, not supplement sellers. This is pretty much “everything D”, not just in relation to COVID.

Ideally we will all go to plant based nutrition and not have to take extras....its hard to do in North America because of growing seasons limit our access to fresh greens and veggies let alone sunlight....
Life Extension Mag is pretty diligent in what research it uses in its articles. I did read about the K2 study with Japanese women.
LE also does not shy away on caveats with supplement use.
I’m going to need more than this woman’s word to believe that I am doing harm taking K2 & D. My doctor monitors my D levels and they are very good. He stays very informed on nutritional supplements so I will bring this up when I next see him.
An example of why one should retain their natural skepticism: My heart med (propafenone) carries a warning about grapefruit juice interaction with it. My cardiologist just shook his head and said I would have to consume 2 gallons a day to have any negative interactions. Who do you know who drinks that much grapefruit juice?
Good info.
I had really just kept some vitamin k around in case of certain kinds of poisonings.
***And vitamin K is found in delicious salads, vegetables and fruits. ***
I am on warfarin due to an artificial heart valve. Vitamin K will mess up my protime real quick!

Is this a paid ad? It should be marked as such.
Not surprisingly, one of the big issues is with her take on vit d and sunshine. If you use sunscreen, you block as much as 90% of the creation of vit. D...depending on the SPF.
There is far more ... but I’ll not spend more time with an advert.
Thank you for posting this interesting article. I’m going to check it out further.
Suzy’s full of carp. The K2 takes the calcium from your system and pushes it into your bones. It actually helps stop calcium buildup in your arteries. I take it everyday with the D3.
Nice collection of facts, and much appreciated.
I recall a post here within the past couple of weeks that it takes more than mere daylight. The K from sunlight is constrained to the reddish band, and depending on how far north of the ecliptic you are, and is obliterated by chemicals in our biosphere. There was something about 45 degrees above the horizon, and on our country most people are too far north of the ecliptic to benefit from it. Sorta. Memory isn't what it used to be.
It took years to get my platelets up to a normal level after AML. I don’t take any meds on a regular basis that may interfere with coagulation . Ie, ibuprofen, K, etc.
You don’t need to take vitamin k if you don’t take excess vitamin d.
The ideal blood level of vitamin d is 32 ng/ml. If it’s higher than that, the body starts eliminating it. People with a level of 32 ng/ml have higher testosterone than those with a higher or lower level.
WOW!
Thank you so much for posting this.
Blood tests have repeatedly shown I have hypercalcemia, for at least the last 7 months.
Plus I have all the symptoms related to it. Including kidney stones. Tests and scans (including parathyroid) come up negative.
BUT.. I have for the past 2 years taken a D3 supplement daily with K2. Thought I was doing the right thing.
I am immediately going to stop the K2 and let my Dr know.
Praying this is the simple answer to my hypercalcemia.
Thank you again!
