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.
Ginkgo doesn’t thin the blood. It dilates the capillaries.
correct on mag. so many of these ‘experts’ completely omit discussion of the MOTHER of all minerals; magnesium.
It is required for D and calcium to absorb (among another 350 processes)
“There’s two forms of K2. Neither interfere with anti coagulation drugs. K1 does exacerbate the blood thinners.”
Where did you get your M.D.?
You've got that backwards. K promotes clotting and can offset blood thinners.
I always laugh at someone’s poorly presented argument but still try to read the hard facts. I didn’t see it in here. She repeats herself for 3 of the 7 or 8 reasons ‘Because you make it/get it/so easy!’ those aren’t reasons to not take K2 + D3. And she has a lot of ‘I think so’s and maybe’s and My-Opinion’s. No studies of facts with the kidney stone frequency or heart issues. I’ve been taking it since April 2020 (since Covid) - the K2+D3(5000units) as a preventative - and heart doctor in Sept said all bloodworks were great and heart was strong. But hey - that’s my anecdotal against hers.
I take magnesium. But never K in any form. There seems to be a big push these days on K at every mention of D. Like the author, I feel it is not a ‘one size fits all’ supplement and is not necessary for most people.
there’s extensive, peer reviewed research available in pubmed.gov regarding the essential role of K2 MK-7 (and MK-4 to a lesser extent) in keeping calcium in the bones and out of the tissues such as coronary, cranial and other arteries, which is extremely important since calcium is the primary component of most arterial plaques which cause atherosclerosis ...
my internal medicine MD is a big believer in the value of MK-7 supplementation, and in my case, my bypasses have stayed open and coronary artery disease progression has greatly slowed since i’ve been taking fairly large doses of MK-7 ...
i’ve done extensive research in pubmed.gov and talked to multiple doctors about the possible issue of MK-7 affecting coagulation, and not a single doctor had any concern about that, nor was there any evidence in any article that i could find in pubmed that MK-7 affected coagulation ...
I also take large doses of Vitamin D3, which is generally quite a safe thing to do, because D3 is not the active form of Vitamin D: D1 is the active form and the body must convert D3 into D1 by the removal of two hydroxyl groups, where the second hydroxyl removal, which converts D2 to D1, is under control of parathyroid hormone, which is the hormone that maintains the correct amount of D1 that the body needs ...
basically, Suzy Cohen is an ignorant huckster who’s primaryly interest is in selling her line of snake oil:

[i also take a few other useful supplements, namely a chelated magnesium, pantethine, Co-Q10, a chelated zinc, and a hefty dose of a high-quality, triglyceride-form of fish oil that contains concentrated DHA & EPA]
