K2 ok with blood thinner called Clopidogrel 75mg? I just had stents put in my heart
I have been taking K2 and D3 for over 4 years now. I am 79. About 6 years ago I had a serious heart attack brought on by arterioriolsclerosis. I needed 4 stents to survive. I was placed on blood pressure medication, statins, coumadin, etc. Since taking K2,D3 I have stopped taking the BP meds, statins, etc. I have discovered that many doctors do not know about the benefits of D3,K2 supplements or simply do not want to recommend their use. I personally take 30,000 IU of D3 along with 300 mcg of K2 on a daily basis. My blood pressure has dropped significantly to 120/75 during my use of D3,K2. Please note that it is very important to take K2 while taking D3. Just my personal experience. Hope that this helps somone out there. Note that there are many studies and reports available on line on the taking these supplements.

My CAC is 305. I take 300 to 400mcg of K2 MK7 from natto plus 4000 IUs of nattokinase. I refuse to take D3. If I had a good reason to think I needed vitamin D then I would get a Sperti vitamin D lamp. I also take 400 to 500 mg of elemental magnesium a day. If you remove the calcium without removing the soft plaque under the calcium then you may be causing a bigger problem. This is why I take the nattokinase.

I have to disagree with your advice to not take K2mk7 if also taking warfarin/coumadin. As long as you get routine blood checks to measure your INR and adjust as necessary, it's fine. And the side effects of warfarin/coumadin - I have read that it interferes with calcium and how calcium gets used or dispersed in your body.
I am confused about what you've said. Is the upper tested limit for vitamin k2 360 milligrams or 360 micrograms? In this video at 7:21 you say 360 mcg, but in a more recent video, you claim that they have tested as high as 360 mg with no side effects. Since that is a 1,000 fold difference, I would like some clarification.
@njsongwriter
Жыл бұрын
It's micrograms not milligrams. Big difference. 1000 mcg = 1 mg
If our phosperous levels are still good in our blood is k2 as important? Is there a way to know how much we need to take and a test to know if we are taking too much? The pills I have are 100 mcg each. Is there a reason why a person would have dozens and dozens of calcium Pelvic Phleboliths? What about calcium deposits in the lung, assuming it’s not cancer. Don’t know yet.

Please forgive me, I'm not an expert. But, there seems to be recent research that shows MK4 is the preferred version of K2. It stays in the blood for a shorter time because that is the form the body absorbs best. It was also shown that K1 and MK7 both convert into MK4 meaning that that is probably what the body wants and needs most. But you should check it yourself. I am just an info consumer here!
