What sort of K2 dosage is appropriate?

Interesting wrap up on K and K2s:

Thank you! The adequate intake is what I needed to know.

There is no Upper Tolerable Limit for Vitamin K.

We take a combined form with standard K, K2-MK4, and K2-MK-7.

Examples:

Or

We have taken two of those pills a day for extended periods of time and never had any issues. We are now just taking one a day.

The MK-7 form floats through the body for up to a week until it’s needed.

Didn't reach my goal by New Years day, but averaged 1.67 lbs a week for the last 6 months, lost 47 pounds so far. Intermittent fasting works great. One meal a day. No exercise to speak of. In fact mostly sedentary. Bought a scale recently and have a better handle on calorie count. Did have, and will undoubtedly have, some setbacks along the way. The Chocolate Cake Incident, and that hamburger casserole... If I could have stayed more focused it would have been a faster rate of loss. More important is gaining the benefits that healthy eating patterns give. (I'm not going to start eating Kale smoothies and dry whole-sawdust toast and all that BS.) But I don't want to become prediabetic or get Insulin resistance or screw up my liver, inflammation and all the weird stuff that happens with being obese. Lots of stuff that I thought was part of aging might be related too, at least anecdotally. Memory seems way better, and focus. Back pain, knee pain and stomach issues, I really recommend this. Thanks for your encouragement and experience. I'll try to stick with this for life.
