I developed osteopenia in 3 places from taking anastrozole for almost 11 years and Exemestane since April 2021 due to breast ca recurrence. Learned about K2 from you. In just a few months of taking K2 with Vitamin D3, my bone density test have shown huge improvement in my lumbar spine and femoral heads. I’ve been taking D3 for years because without it my blood level of D is low. My oncologist said maybe that’s why I got breast cancer. Thank you.

He thinks maybe you got breast cancer BECAUSE you’ve been taking d 3 for years? Or because your vitamin d3 levels were too low?

@@M00159 I only started taking Vitamin D3 in 2011 after my test showed Low blood Vitamin D. It was my GYN doctor who ordered the test. My primary doctor never ordered the test. After I told my oncologist about my low D result my oncologist said maybe that’s why I got breast cancer. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. Even my oncologist did not test me for vitamin D.

@@zonrey2781 Thanks for the clarity. I guess vitamin d 3 then is a good vitamin to take! You seem to be doing well with your battle against breast cancer. I assume it’s in remission, and, if correct, I’m very happy for you! How much vitamin d3 do you take daily? Yeah, doctors don’t typically test vitamin levels, not sure why. Kudos to your OB/GYN doctor! It’s important to be your own advocate and be proactive with your own healthcare.

@@M00159 I take Vitamin D3 50,000iu once a month. 2000iu daily with NatureMade K2 100mcg. Initially I was instructed to take 50,000iu once a week plus 2000iu daily for 3 months. When my blood D level went up to 40 the 50,000 was changed to once a month. Turned out low D level runs in my father’s side. With just taking D3, I developed osteopenia. With K2 for just a few months my bone density test shows huge improvement in 3 places. Bone density test is every 2 years for me.

Does it interfere with low dose aspirin therapy

These 2 make a great team

Our pleasure!

The critical question should be: Is it ineffective if you take d3 separately from k2? (The combination supplement isn't always available).

I recently have been diagnosed with hypo or hyper parathyroid, and have stage 2 kidney disease. I had no idea!

Is k2mk7 safe to take with Xalrelto blood thinner?. This blood thinner does not have the restrictions of coumadin .

I am ckd1 and taking omega 3 , coq10 , vitamin C. Lisinopril, fenofibrate and Jardiance. I have high blood pressure, high triglycerides and low HDL. I am not sure if I should add one more pill. Do you think I should take D3 and K with all these? Thank you!

You should definitely check with your doctor for individualized recommendations! They should check your serum vitamin D levels so you know how much to supplement. Also, run your vitamin C dose by your doctor because high dose vit C supplementation is not recommended with CKD.

I find most of the K2 is made using Natto . Is it safe for Kidney patient ? If CKD. Patient want to to take K2 which K2 is good for them safely ?

I just bought natto at Asian market. Trying to get nutrition from foods

Thank you for your great videos, they are very informative and presented in an easy learning mode, Yor videos are very educational, the Vitamin K2 mk 7 that I take comes from Natto, it (contains 200 micrograms), which is supposed to be the best source, most of the companies that I have researched contained 200 micrograms, so somewhere there most be data that this is the standard dosage for this vitamins?? I take them every second day with my virtamin D3 I have CKD, continue with your great videos, we appreciate them, take care>

When it comes to Vitamin D3, 40,000 IU = 1 mg. I'm not sure why that is, but even 1 mg of D3 is considered a "mega" dose, I don't think it's not that high. If you're very low on your blood vitamin D level (like under 30 ng/mL), you can safely take 40,000 IU of Vitamin D3 for a month or two, and then you'll have satisfying blood Vitamin D level rather than taking a long route by consuming just 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day which can take you months if not years to reach a satisfying blood vitamin D level

Oh yeah and I forgot this. 1 mg (miligram) = 1,000 mcg (microgram)

Is D35000IU +100mcg K2 MK7 is it okay?I have CKD. It is plant based.

@PlantBasedKidneyHealth

You'll want to check your dose with your physician for individualized recommendations as D3 dose will be based on blood levels. 1000-2000 IU is generally a maintenance dose. Higher amounts likely needed if blood levels are low.

None... Just use vitamin K as it has both in it and is less expensive than just isolated K2. Most multivitamins have K in them at the RDA which should be sufficient for most. Please, send me all the money I just saved you!!!😉

Hanno detto tutto e niente alla fine cosa fare? Effettivamente se la k2 non è molto studiata a differenza della k1 e comunque c'è molta confusione in giro è difficile x noi decidere cosa fare però ci sono medici che sembrano avere le idee chiare e dicono che ci sono molti studi e la promuovono prescrivendola in base al dosaggio di D3 ; alcuni la fanno prendere separata dalla D3, la D3 la mattina e la k2 la sera, che dire una confusione generale non si sa proprio cosa fare; il medico di famiglia poi non capisce nulla ed in gran parte sono contrari agli integratori 😂

This is not helping at all . . .
