The scandal and tragedy is that the vast majority of MDs know NOTHING about vitamins !!!! Specially K2. Truly disgusting and criminal. Your videos are fantastic. Spread the message !!!!
it's due to the schooling and certification they got. Rockefeller? bought the American medical society. big pharma also have there rules. all this keeps a medical Dr from even discussing herbs abd vitamin's. they can lose their medical certification and license for doing so. homeopathics are fine but insurances won't pay for their care.
You're right about that! My doctors don't seem to know anything about Vitamin K2. They just want to put me on Xgeva, which is a very expensive bone strengthening drug. I'm 70 years old and was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma which is type of cancer that eats away at my bones. When I was young I didn't know about fat soluble vitamins. I didn't want to get fat so I basically ate fat free diet. I don't know if that has anything to do with me developing this cancer, but I'm hoping that making the right changes might turn things around.. I'm on currently receiving Revlimid, Velcade, and Dexamethasone.to fight the cancer, but my doctors are clueless on what supplements I should take, The only supplements I have been told to take are Calcium and D3.. Any suggestions for a good K2 supplement would be greatly appreciated. I figure it can't hurt if I'm careful not to take too much.
Yes good ppl in the medical field getting on urube trying to save life's while being sensored trying to help us live and not surcome to bad policy's bad politics.
I started my supplements two years ago. ,Magnesium, D3, K2 ,C, CQ10 , B12 , selenium, Calcium, Zinc, every day, also, two liters of water. I'm 70 years old. Good health! The best part? None medication! Gratefulness! SuMorris
... I’m 78 on April 12, 2021 & not on any medication either. Fussy about brands of vitamins also & try to eat pastured farm raised, grass fed. Have eaten two whole eggs every day since I was 16. Ferment my own cabbage. Have taken Nattokinaise & Serrapeptase but it’s been awhile. Don’t drink soda pops... still drive a school bus around 100 miles a day-
I have been taking K2, Mk7 plus D3, for two years...first year, my calification in my carotid's was stable...this year, scans of my carotids showed that the calcification was down, from 50% to 35%, both sides were down, and to boot, my Osteopenia was better, when my bones were scanned...wow, I am a believer !
I just had quadruple bypass surgery one month ago and had been using D3 and K2 for sometime. It won't make up for a diet high in carbs and sugar and low HDL. Since I got home I've avoided most carbs and dropped 15 lbs of belly fat. High blood sugar and high insulin is the problem. Now that my diet is right I'm hoping the D3 and K2 will help clean up the mess I've made from a lifetime of loving sweets (69years).
I exercised every day. I had normal blood sugar, normal weight, normal blood pressure...229 cholesterol. I was 55 year old woman and had a heart attack. I never ate sugar except for what was in food. I quit refined flour and all seed oils. I stepped up fermented foods and k2 and started eating saturated fats. I also lost weight. I have four stents. I hope we are on the right track.check b vitamins too.
@@afonsodeportugal Vitamin k2 activates a protein that removes calcium from the soft tissues and arteries and put it where it belongs; which is in the bones and teeth. K2 basically regulates calcium deposition. It is usually recommended taking it with d3. So D3 absorb calcium from the small intestine and k2 regulates that calcium and put it in the bones and teeth. There’s several forms of k2 but the most bioavailable are mk-4 and mk-7. Our bodies actually converts k1 into mk4, however, it has a very short half life of an hour. Whereas, Mk-7 last in your body for 3 days.
@@afonsodeportugal you are welcome, haha. Also, our bodies actually converts 90% of the available k1 into mk4. So eat your veggies. 🫡. It accumulates throughout the body in the testes, pancreas, kidneys, brains and arteries. Our gut microbiomes actually makes its own mk4, too. But this implies if you have a healthy gut bacteria so get in those probiotics and prebiotics 🫣. MK4 is a major form but many people simply forget it and recommend MK-7 to others claiming MK4 is useless but that’s ridiculous. The downside of MK4 is the half life too short and you might need to supplement with a higher amount to get the benefits. MK-7 is the key factor for calcium deposition. It put and lock in calcium in the bones and teeth. Which lessen too much calcium in the blood and blocking of arteries. I take both forms. Mk4 500mcg Mk7 100mcg There’s no toxicity levels of k2. Studies have shown people in Japan average over 2,000mg of k2 with no adverse effects. Sorry for too much information. Lol.
@@tyrese5089 You don't have to apologize, I actually appreciate it. I know very little about vitamin K and the internet is full of conflicting advice. So thank you again! 👏🙂
You sold me, Doc! I just purchased D3+MK7 online and we will see what these miracle vitamins will do to this tired old carcass. Love the heart you put into your videos! Mahalo.
@@BRIANDER100 I bought it on Amazon. The brand name was BRONSON. Vitamin D3 was 5,000 IU (625% daily dosage) and Vitamin K2 was 90 mcg (75% daily dosage). There are 360 capsules in a bottle and I guess I have taken about 90 of them, 1 a day. It's strange how they labeled it "Vitamin K2+dD 2 in 1 support", when they offer more D than K. But if it does what Dr. claims, it's worth it even in the long run.
@@AuntyLaniLee 5000IU within 3 months, the D level should be rising. pls do a LabTest (if not too pricey) after 3 months taking that supplements so that u know the level & what increaments its may arised. boths are a Fat Vitamins, so, make sure take after any meals that has a fat sources included (absorb better) or can take Olive/Avocado Oil as a sources after swallowed it..
told to take vitamin d3 5000 in 2015-2019 and was never told by any doctor about the dangers of taking it alone. I pray it didn't damage or clog any of my arteries!
Also need to get plenty of magnesium which is easy enough if you eat lots of veggies, especially leafy greens. I’m sorry your doctor is so dumb. Most doctors are.
I only take K2 MK7 300 mcg. once daily. I have Hyperparathyroidism....My body makes way to much serum calcium. I don't need anymore Calcium so, I don't take D3
I'm a 51 year old man & I just chipped one of my teeth.. I DON'T want to lose any of my teeth, so I am going to invest in a good vitamin K2 supplement.. Great video, thank you for this information..
I was taking high doses of vitamin d3 for years . Then I got sciatica had a ct scan and they said I had calcification on the discs so I stopped taking vitamin d3 completely and started taking vitamin k2 mk7 for about 9 months now and I feel great now . The k2 at first was making me really sleepy but I got used to it . I take 180mcg daily . The mk4 I think they said it stays in the body from a few hours to 3 days but the mk7 stays in the body for a week . There was a guy on TH-cam that said he suffered crippling back pain his spine locked up so he started consuming all forms of mk4 and mk7 in pill form and liquid what he said was he then felt in his spine was like sand , and sounded like all the calcification on his spine was melting away from taking high doses of mk4 and mk7. He was in his 60's.
I have been taking vit d3 too almost 6 months because my vit d levels 19 it didn't help me at all I stopped and started taking vit mk7 90 mcg 3rday I'm on it feeling better already so my question is which one is the best to take vitamin k2 or mk7 or mk4?? Although I notice pain on my spine when I started mk7
I started taking D3 on the advice of my doctor to help with depression, I started finding it made me tired and gave me muscle aches and induced anxiety. I started to research the issues I was experiencing and found that I likely was magnesium deficient and lacking in other fat soluble vitamins. I improved my diet and went keto along with exercise and changed my life. A year later I was still learning and stumbled upon k2 information and became concerned since I was taking 10k iu d3 a day so I started eating natto weekly and supplementing 200mcg a day mk7. I found i felt odd, displaced, my muscles started aching, i was tired and my old wounds started hurting. My teeth started loosing the small bits of plaque I could not get to with my floss and I started finding chunks of plaque falling off my teeth. Soon I found my teeth had 0 plaque and my mouth felt better than ever, cavities stopped and mended and tooth sensitivity went away. My old bone pains from ancient injuries started to feel better and slowly any pain I had melted away. Then I noticed my muscles were relaxed, flexible and I could get massages without pain. Flexible and strong. Joints felt better than ever and arthritis seemed to stop. Tendons worked how I remembered back in the day and I feel young again. Not to mention the clarity of thought and presence of mind I have found. I changed alot but I don't think I would be as well as I am now if any of the changes I made didn't happen
Oh there is a local store/ multi ethnic community that has natto in small square styrofoam containers, i eat one a week. I believe they make it but we communicate non verbally.
They are just Big Pharma's puppets... They don't know how to cure illnesses they just know and what only to sell chemical drugs to patients as much as they can, because Big Pharma's companies is paying to doctors for pushing particular drugs to patients...
They may not be taught that in school, but if you are a medical practitioner, you should possess some form of intellectual curiosity. Since nutrition is a big part of health, you would want to read and do further research on nutrition, supplements and alternative methods.
why dont doctors tell patients about vit k2? i was recently told by cardiologist tht i need surgery for aortic valve replacement due to high calcium in the valve. Ive been on D3 2,000 iu for years and none of my doctors have even mentio ned K2 to me. Im fed up wth the majority of medical professional. I thank God i found you on Utube.
You are the first to bring us what comes from scientific research, confirmed by the indipendent worldwide research from multiple sources eliminating scientific Fraud. First we learned about the Magnesium L-Threonate and now K2 that it comes in Two forms and the sources of it . Good learning experience. Dr. Mandell you are the Gentleman & Genius on the right mission in life !
I asked my doctor if she would take medical advice from someone without any medical training and she said absolutely not,I asked her then why then does she recommend the food pyramid dietary advice of Ancel Keys who had no medical or dietary qualification and his degree was in Oceanography, he was however a lifelong fanatical vegan which explains many things
@@FighterFlash Yup, although what he advises actually comes from nutritional science, unlike ya vegan quack Ancel Keys, who is responsible for more deaths than Stalin!
I read up on Ansell keys after your remark. He was a physiologist. He was responsible for developing K rations used by the military to sustain troops away from kitchens.
An adequate intake of Vitamin K2 has been shown to positively influence the cardiovascular system. Calcification was once believed to be an irreversible process and a result of aging. However, it is now known that calcium accumulation is an actively regulated process involving the vitamin K-dependent Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), the most potent inhibitor of vascular calcification known, which is actively involved in recycling calcium.22 Healthy arterial tissues have shown to contain 100 times more Vitamin K2 than unhealthy arteries23, and the amount of calcium in the arteries is a risk factor for cardiovascular health.24 One might say that “you are as old as your arteries.” Studies in large population groups show that significant calcification in young persons actually make them older than their chronological age. On the contrary, older persons with little or no calcification may deduct up to 10 years from their actual age.25 The Rotterdam Study (2004)26 shows that high dietary intake of Vitamin K2 - but not vitamin K1 - has a strong protective effect on cardiovascular health. Findings from this 10-year population-based study, which followed 4,807 initially healthy men and women >55 years of age from start, indicate that eating foods rich in natural Vitamin K2 (at least 32 mcg/day) results in 50% reduction of arterial calcification, 50% reduction of cardiovascular risk, and 25% reduction of all-cause mortality. In 2008, these findings were confirmed by another population-based study with 16,000 persons from the Prospect-EPIC cohort population. Female participants aged 49-70 years at the start of the study, were followed up for 8 years and were free of cardiovascular diseases at the baseline. The researchers found that for every 10mcg Vitamin K2 (MK-7, MK-8, and MK-9) consumed - not K1 - the risk of coronary heart disease was reduced by 9%.27 Unfortunately, the Western diet does not contain sufficient Vitamin K2, so supplementing with MenaQ7® Vitamin K2 as MK-7 is a viable alternative recommended by experts. Breakthrough MenaQ7® Cardiovascular Study Findings from a large clinical study, published in Thrombosis and Haemostasis28, signal Vitamin K2 as MK-7 as a potential game-changer for the cardiovascular health category. Scientists at the University of Maastricht (the Netherlands) performed a double-blind, randomized, intervention study of 244 postmenopausal women given either 180 mcg of Vitamin K2 as MK-7 (as MenaQ7® by NattoPharma) or a placebo daily for 3 years. Using ultrasound and pulse-wave velocity measurements (recognized as standard measurements for cardiovascular health), researchers determined that carotid artery distensibility was significantly improved for a 3-year period in the MenaQ7® group as compared with that of a placebo group, especially in women having high arterial stiffness. Also, pulse-wave velocity showed a statistically significantly decrease after 3 years for the Vitamin K2 (MK-7) group, but not for the placebo group, demonstrating an increase in the elasticity and reduction in age-related arterial stiffening, again, especially in women having high arterial stiffness. This first intervention trial on MK-7 supplements and cardiovascular endpoints showed that 3-year supplementation with a daily, nutritional dose (180 mcg) of MenaQ7® was enough to actually decreased arterial stiffness in healthy post-menopausal women.

What i found out is effective is to consume more foods rich in magnesium together with those rich in k2. Why, because magnesium ions push out calcium ions out of the cell when the system is depolarised (during muscle relaxation for example). The calcium then becomes free calcium extracellularly. Giving way for K2 to easily sweep it to where it can properly be stored. If you are magnesium deficient, when calcium enters the cell during muscles contractions, it cannot fully return to it’s relaxed state since there’s no free magnesium to exchange with. Hence the muscle stays active. That’s when people get chronically tight muscles. So firstly i get more magnesium into the system to fish out the calcium. Then vit K2 will direct the calcium for storage.
Excellent information Dr. Mandell & thank you . My Dad had coronary heart disease & had a CABG surgery @ 80 years old & passed away 1& 1/2 years later due to complications from heart medications. I feel healthier & stronger when I take vitamin K2 & COQ10 & vitamin C 3,000 MG per day.
Dr Mandel, I was told by a family member who is a doctor that I should be taking Vitamin K with my Vitamin D, so I look you up about your comment. My, my, my and here it is. Doc you should do a reminder on this . Thanks Doc for your videos. I enjoy them greatly. They sure have been making my day. Much love and blessings to you Doc and you have a great day 😄
The most affordable way is to get a supplement with D3 and K2 combined. This way you don't have to buy them separately. Some K7 supplements are synthetic and not bioidentical, I buy the form made from fermented natto. There are some vitamin K2 in grassfed and pasture raised animal foods, but they are not in high amount. Except liver which is a bit higher, especially poultry liver like duck and goose. Also duck fat. Aged cheeses is a very good K2 source, mostly MK4 with a little MK7. Gouda, Camembert, Stilton are three examples high in K2. Brie and cheddar have some K2. Parmesan and feta have almost no K2.
Doctor Mendell, You Rock!! I greater enjoy your videos even more than reading journals! I Love, Love, Love your information packed mini presentations!! Your Personality Is Stellar!! God Bless...
Hi Dr. Mandell Would you be kind enough to clarify the dose of K2 for women / daily with the Vit.D Also how much Cal./ mag / daily ? I truly need to know . I feel the failing . I wish I had not been taken off this . Thank you for your enlightenment again . I believe I seen a previos teach . It was also Great and so are You Be Blessed For The Good & Your Gifts 🕯.
In 2018 I had a cat scan on my chess and was told I had calcium buildup around my heart. I started taking K2 and I had several heart test and was told I have no detectable calcium buildup
My doctor is a thoracic and heart guy, plus general medicine and he saved my mothers life from an infection in a lymph gland in her groin.. I went to see him after he did some hernia work on me and I told him about K2... he said,” what”
Our good Doctor, without any medical condition, can one take Vitamin K2 with D3 in the morning and Omega 3 in the evening? Your advice is quite invaluable to us. Thank you so much for your altruistic effort Sir.
@@nesspatinio7807 you may want to look into dosages of each, D3 and K2 because they seem to play off one another. What i do is probably take 10k D3 and 100mcg mk7 and do a blood test in a month or so time to verify me levels are good
If you live in America, Japanese women isn't guaranteed to have the cultural diet as in Japan. That is, If you bring her here, she might eat the Worst diet in the world... America's Processed foods.
In a green a.m. smoothie I put CoQ10 liquid, liquid D3/K2-7, raw garlic, soft tofu, lilies cal/magnesium, squirt of B’s, ACV, rice or almond milk. Fills me up. Not hungry until 3:00 or so afternoon. Also take supplements at regular meal. Thks Doc for the clear info. Ahna
Sad doctors don't educate us on this my doctor told me get 50,000 vitamin d for a while cos I'm low in it and told me nothing about K2, she don't even know she would have been setting me up for something to go wrong with having too much calcium without it being directed by K2 on where to properly go in my body smh I had to educate myself i heard magnesium helps too
I was just diagnosed with DISH. Others have said taking K2 might be able to help but we can’t find actual studies on it. It makes sense though. Hopefully I’ve started soon enough that I can delay becoming disabled by this odd arthritis.
thank you so much dr mandell u always help me, i have r/a and i am on to k2 now with my other vitamins,,,,,,i have blocked arteries,so i am ready to do this ,,,,GOD BLESS YOU.........
Should you take D3 and K2 separate, d3 in the morning and k2 in the afternoon/evening with food or can we take it together on the morning or does it make a difference. Thanks
Tried natto first and I got the runs really bad and had to give up taking it. I'm on the K2-7 now 3 times a day with D3, so far so good. Waiting to see if my BP goes down in a month or so.
Thanks Doc ! I just ordered K2 MK 7 and Im on a blood thinner, Thanks for your video, I wouldnt have known! Now Thanks to Your video Im going to ask my cadiologist about it, Thank you Sir!
@Arturo Robles You should check out Dr Berg on You Tube. He has a lot of videos about K2 and K1 He also talks about what veg to eat and not eat when taking Warfarin. (Video called) Acceptable vegetables if on Warfarin. Hope that can help
Somewhat disagree. IMO you need both. MK4 is very important. MK4 will cross the BBB (Blood Brain Barrier). Why is this important? Because calcifications can form in the brain just like they can build up in the arterial walls.You can find products out there that have both or you can just take different products that have different forms
MK-7 = BAD SIDE EFFECTS I agree with you. I had a TERRIBLE reaction to an Mk-7 supplement. My fingers froze up, stiff and terribly painful. Since then I've heard of several other bad reactions to it including horrific heart palpitations that sent them to the ER, anxiety attacks - all which were resolved once the Mk-7 was stopped. There are numerous MK4 stops and reverse bone loss, grows stronger bones and reduces fractures more than 80%. MK7 has never been shown to reduce fractures. FETUSES BLOCK MK-7 -BUT THEY LIKE MK-4 "A good example of the body’s preference for MK-4 starts in the womb. A Japanese study divided pregnant women into two groups, one eating a normal diet and one eating a diet high in natto (the only natural form of MK-7). Even though K1, MK-4, MK-6 and MK-7 were found in the placenta, MK-6 and MK-7 were blocked from entering the fetus. K1 was found in the amniotic fluid, merconium and umbilical cord. Only vitamin K2 MK-4 was used directly by the fetus." terrywahls.com/vitamink2mk4/
Oh so true. I don't even waste my time since they have zero knowledge about natural medicine. The only reason I have a doctor is in case I get hit by a car.
Vitamin K is the perfect example of what to expect when you talk to an allopath (i.e. MD). Vitamin K "interferes" with warfarin, a blood thinner, so most allopaths will advise you to dial back your dietary intakes of bananas, leafy greens, and most especially any supplements containing vitamin K since warfarin specifically inhibits the recycling of K in order to block the formation of fibrin. You need to convert fibrinogen into fibrin in order to form a clot, so "less fibrin" means "less tendancy to clot." To an allopath, that means "mission accomplished" since the only objective was to frustrate the clotting process. Nevermind all the absurdities along the way: (1) increased arterial calcification over time due to K inhibition, (2) ridiculous fear of consuming whole foods that a person needs for other dietary requirements, and (3) the long-term mineral deficiencies in B vitamins and magnesium caused by the mechanisms of action for many blood thinners.
Hey doc, any opinions about essential oils? I’ve been using them regularly for about 8 years. Internally and diffused in the air. I swear by them at this point but have never spoken to a health professional about them.
I learned from different sources that mk4 is synthetic. In addition, the study that showed all the positive results were made with mk7, so...I am sticking with mk7. Good luck
Some cardiologists now think calcium is the mortar in plaque and helps prevent it from doing worse damage if removed. So K2 m7 by itself could be a problem.
Studies of the MK-7 intake of Japanese women in the Tokyo region found that by eating natto every day, which is common in that region, the higher the intake of K2-MK-7, the less the risk of bone fractures among post-menopausal women. In other areas of Japan where natto isn't as popular, the fracture rate is higher and on par with fracture rates in other countries such as USA. Natto is sold in Asian grocery stores in little single-serving packets which each have about 400 to 500 mcg of MK-7. So, I think that the Japanese data shows the ideal intake of MK-7 is in that range. In Japan, a synthetic form of MK-4 is used as a pharmaceutical treatment for osteoporosis. The US FDA has stated that there is no known adverse effect of these intake levels or even higher, so it's considered safe by the FDA, but they haven't established a recommended daily allowance of Vitamin K2.
Well I started some of what you are teaching now I will start with this step with the k7thank you will let you know how I will be improving my health especially my bones GOD BLESS
If were not supplementing with vitamin K2 but we're getting vitamin D from lots of sun exposure, is that dangerous for arterial calcification or is it just supplementing? Does vitamin D from the sun act in a different way than supplementing it? Also, HOW MUCH K2 do we supplement with? How much K2 is needed in comparison to how much D3 were taking? Equal parts? Can we take too much K2?
Thank you for a great video. Is there a risk of clotting if I take K2 in a natural form, like fermented cabbage or is it only supplements that are risky? Thank you.
Dear Dr.Mandell, I’ve been impressed by this video. I and my friend want to include vitamin K2 in our supplements. But some time ago she had a problem with the blood clot and was treated with anticoagulants. The blood clot is gone by now. She thinks that she is prone to blood clotting. I understand that K2 is different from K1, but the warning on MK7 by Jarrow company is saying to be cautious for people who are on anticoagulants. She isn't taking anticoagulants now. What is your opinion on whether it is safe for her to take K2?
I've watched a video from Dr. Susan Brown [ Director of Center for Better Bones] that only Coumadin is the only anticoagulant that is not good to take w/ K2. Please see her vlog on TH-cam. I would like to hear from Dr. Mandell also about this b/c I value his input.
On the money. I have started natto. It is ok just as it is. Many do not like it. It is very easy to flavour. A little, mustard, or Worcester sauce, or green mango pickle, chili ('Kaitaia Fire' the most flavoursome), Ton Yum, Kimchi and lots of others.
Dr Mandell, Thank you for the excellent video. Hope you can recommend me the better brands of vitamin K2 MK7 to buy. I am thinking of buying Jarrow formulas MK7.
Can someone please help me with my question? Does vitamin k or vitamin k2 cause blood clots? Does vitamin k or vitamin k2 cause blood clots (in arteries/veins/heart/lungs and so on) ? Thank you very much.
Sadly I got heart palpitations and heart rate went up 100 bpm when I move my body after taken K2 100 mcg with vitamin D3 50 mcg with calcium 105 mg. I had to take magnesium glycinate 100 mg to reduce heart rate back to 80 bpm
Cows milk also causes osteoporoses when you drink too much. So it's the opposite of what we were told. In Japan they drink less milk than American and European people do
DR. MANDELL - Thanks for publishing this content; good stuff! What about the endogenous conversion of MK4 to MK7? If I recall correctly, this conversion is much simpler and more commonly done well in people than converting K1 to K2. Is this true and do you know of any factors that impede that process? Thanks in advance!
@patandemy You should check out Dr Berg on You Tube. He has a lot of videos about K2 and K1 He also talks about what veg to eat and not eat when taking Warfarin. (Video called) Acceptable vegetables if on Warfarin. Hope that can help
I find myself super frustrated because of the numerous contradicting articles on Vitamin K2 MK-7, which I started taking with Vitamin D3 2 months ago. So does K2 MK-7 cause blood clotting or not? I am a 49 yr old woman and do not take any blood thinners and was told to take ONLY vitamin D3 5 years ago. I hope I don't have any calcification in my arteries because of it. So 2 months ago I decided to start taking D3 with K2 with MK-7 and now am frightened of blood clotting! I'd like to improve my health NOT to endanger it. Please advise. Thank You.
k2 doesnt impact clotting. k1 does. However the issue im concered about, is whether taking k2 would remove the plaque in big chunks and thus inadvertently CAUSE a blockage. ive asked it above to see if any of the commenters have any updates
Hi annette, that is a very good question that hasn't been answered by anyone.. I hope someone who has a knowledge in this certain situations would answer it
I Was Told 2 Take Vit D With K2 To Redirect The Calicum In My Blood!..(Which Had Higher Than Normal Readings) Bak 2 My Bones!..It’s Worth a Try As Far As I’m Concerned!
The only thing with vitamin k2 is if you get a cut it takes long to clot so you will be bleeding for like 30-45 minutes .I think with the supplements this is what happens
Buy organic Moringa powder. A teaspoon contains approximately 80% of the daily K-1 recommended intake. I do it in capsules. Do not try and swallow it on an empty stomach. But if you do, just drink down a bit of Baking Soda water and it’ll be fine.
@motivationaldoc I’m a bit confused from the the first minutes of the video. My dad had a brain stroke and I got him vit. K2 and vit. D3. Is it safe? Many thanks!

What supplement brand did you take.
Hi and good feedback! Question: What was your initial number for arterial CT scan? Mine came at 47.
I just had quadruple bypass surgery one month ago and had been using D3 and K2 for sometime. It won't make up for a diet high in carbs and sugar and low HDL. Since I got home I've avoided most carbs and dropped 15 lbs of belly fat. High blood sugar and high insulin is the problem. Now that my diet is right I'm hoping the D3 and K2 will help clean up the mess I've made from a lifetime of loving sweets (69years).

K2& D3 taken together are absolutely miraculous 🤩👍
How so?
@@afonsodeportugal Vitamin k2 activates a protein that removes calcium from the soft tissues and arteries and put it where it belongs; which is in the bones and teeth. K2 basically regulates calcium deposition. It is usually recommended taking it with d3.
So D3 absorb calcium from the small intestine and k2 regulates that calcium and put it in the bones and teeth.
There’s several forms of k2 but the most bioavailable are mk-4 and mk-7. Our bodies actually converts k1 into mk4, however, it has a very short half life of an hour. Whereas, Mk-7 last in your body for 3 days.
@@tyrese5089 Wow, thanks! You're the first guy I met on TH-cam who could actually explain the difference between mk-4 and mk-7.
@@afonsodeportugal you are welcome, haha.
Also, our bodies actually converts 90% of the available k1 into mk4. So eat your veggies. 🫡. It accumulates throughout the body in the testes, pancreas, kidneys, brains and arteries. Our gut microbiomes actually makes its own mk4, too. But this implies if you have a healthy gut bacteria so get in those probiotics and prebiotics 🫣.
MK4 is a major form but many people simply forget it and recommend MK-7 to others claiming MK4 is useless but that’s ridiculous. The downside of MK4 is the half life too short and you might need to supplement with a higher amount to get the benefits.
MK-7 is the key factor for calcium deposition. It put and lock in calcium in the bones and teeth. Which lessen too much calcium in the blood and blocking of arteries.
I take both forms.
Mk4 500mcg
Mk7 100mcg
There’s no toxicity levels of k2. Studies have shown people in Japan average over 2,000mg of k2 with no adverse effects.
Sorry for too much information. Lol.
@@tyrese5089 You don't have to apologize, I actually appreciate it. I know very little about vitamin K and the internet is full of conflicting advice. So thank you again! 👏🙂
You sold me, Doc! I just purchased D3+MK7 online and we will see what these miracle vitamins will do to this tired old carcass. Love the heart you put into your videos! Mahalo.
How is it going ?
@@IllRomantic I am still taking the vitamins and my carcass may not have improved, but my spirit has! Thanks for asking. Aloha!
what was the name of the product of D3+MK7 you bought? what was the dosage ?
@@BRIANDER100 I bought it on Amazon. The brand name was BRONSON. Vitamin D3 was 5,000 IU (625% daily dosage) and Vitamin K2 was 90 mcg (75% daily dosage). There are 360 capsules in a bottle and I guess I have taken about 90 of them, 1 a day. It's strange how they labeled it "Vitamin K2+dD 2 in 1 support", when they offer more D than K. But if it does what Dr. claims, it's worth it even in the long run.
@@AuntyLaniLee 5000IU within 3 months, the D level should be rising. pls do a LabTest (if not too pricey) after 3 months taking that supplements so that u know the level & what increaments its may arised. boths are a Fat Vitamins, so, make sure take after any meals that has a fat sources included (absorb better) or can take Olive/Avocado Oil as a sources after swallowed it..
told to take vitamin d3 5000 in 2015-2019 and was never told by any doctor about the dangers of taking it alone. I pray it didn't damage or clog any of my arteries!
Once you start taking K2 the arteries will improve, the harm will be undone fore a large part, that is the good news.
5000 ain't shit... People have dosed 200k IUD a day trust me 10k IUD is still fine you take some k2 mk7 after and still be fine!
Allopathic medicine is nutritional deficient!
Also need to get plenty of magnesium which is easy enough if you eat lots of veggies, especially leafy greens. I’m sorry your doctor is so dumb. Most doctors are.
I only take K2 MK7 300 mcg. once daily. I have Hyperparathyroidism....My body makes way to much serum calcium. I don't need anymore Calcium so, I don't take D3
My cardiologist said he didn’t know about it!!! How can it be! thank you Dr Mandell.!!!

I'm a 51 year old man & I just chipped one of my teeth.. I DON'T want to lose any of my teeth, so I am going to invest in a good vitamin K2 supplement.. Great video, thank you for this information..
I was taking high doses of vitamin d3 for years . Then I got sciatica had a ct scan and they said I had calcification on the discs so I stopped taking vitamin d3 completely and started taking vitamin k2 mk7 for about 9 months now and I feel great now . The k2 at first was making me really sleepy but I got used to it . I take 180mcg daily . The mk4 I think they said it stays in the body from a few hours to 3 days but the mk7 stays in the body for a week . There was a guy on TH-cam that said he suffered crippling back pain his spine locked up so he started consuming all forms of mk4 and mk7 in pill form and liquid what he said was he then felt in his spine was like sand , and sounded like all the calcification on his spine was melting away from taking high doses of mk4 and mk7. He was in his 60's.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings
silverss onyoutube D3 should be strictly dosed. K2 has also huge side effects.

I have been taking vit d3 too almost 6 months because my vit d levels 19 it didn't help me at all I stopped and started taking vit mk7 90 mcg 3rday I'm on it feeling better already so my question is which one is the best to take vitamin k2 or mk7 or mk4?? Although I notice pain on my spine when I started mk7
After watching several dozen of this Dr's videos my supplement purchases are going to increase .
Thank you.. my mom has brittle bone disease, I'm sharing this video with her and everyone else on my list 😊🤗
I started taking D3 on the advice of my doctor to help with depression, I started finding it made me tired and gave me muscle aches and induced anxiety. I started to research the issues I was experiencing and found that I likely was magnesium deficient and lacking in other fat soluble vitamins. I improved my diet and went keto along with exercise and changed my life. A year later I was still learning and stumbled upon k2 information and became concerned since I was taking 10k iu d3 a day so I started eating natto weekly and supplementing 200mcg a day mk7. I found i felt odd, displaced, my muscles started aching, i was tired and my old wounds started hurting. My teeth started loosing the small bits of plaque I could not get to with my floss and I started finding chunks of plaque falling off my teeth. Soon I found my teeth had 0 plaque and my mouth felt better than ever, cavities stopped and mended and tooth sensitivity went away. My old bone pains from ancient injuries started to feel better and slowly any pain I had melted away. Then I noticed my muscles were relaxed, flexible and I could get massages without pain. Flexible and strong. Joints felt better than ever and arthritis seemed to stop. Tendons worked how I remembered back in the day and I feel young again. Not to mention the clarity of thought and presence of mind I have found. I changed alot but I don't think I would be as well as I am now if any of the changes I made didn't happen
Elijah Perrin wow. Thats great. Happy forYa
Elijah Perrin Interesting. How much natto did you eat weekly? And what was the brand? Or, did you purchase it from a chain store?
Oh there is a local store/ multi ethnic community that has natto in small square styrofoam containers, i eat one a week. I believe they make it but we communicate non verbally.
How long did it take for your body to stop hurting, I am in the hurting stage now. Never thought it was the K2.
Thank you for sharing your story.

Most medical Dr's aren't taught nutrition.
Phillip Teagarden dr mandell is a chiropractor
How can they not be thaught what causes and cures disease?
They are just Big Pharma's puppets... They don't know how to cure illnesses they just know and what only to sell chemical drugs to patients as much as they can, because Big Pharma's companies is paying to doctors for pushing particular drugs to patients...
Chiropractors are more knowledgeable, their raison d' être is your health and wellness, not drug prescribing
They may not be taught that in school, but if you are a medical practitioner, you should possess some form of intellectual curiosity. Since nutrition is a big part of health, you would want to read and do further research on nutrition, supplements and alternative methods.
This guy is so good. Always has fantastic advice.
why dont doctors tell patients about vit k2? i was recently told by cardiologist tht i need surgery for aortic valve replacement due to high calcium in the valve.

An adequate intake of Vitamin K2 has been shown to positively influence the cardiovascular system.
Calcification was once believed to be an irreversible process and a result of aging. However, it is now known that calcium accumulation is an actively regulated process involving the vitamin K-dependent Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), the most potent inhibitor of vascular calcification known, which is actively involved in recycling calcium.22
Healthy arterial tissues have shown to contain 100 times more Vitamin K2 than unhealthy arteries23, and the amount of calcium in the arteries is a risk factor for cardiovascular health.24 One might say that “you are as old as your arteries.” Studies in large population groups show that significant calcification in young persons actually make them older than their chronological age. On the contrary, older persons with little or no calcification may deduct up to 10 years from their actual age.25
The Rotterdam Study (2004)26 shows that high dietary intake of Vitamin K2 - but not vitamin K1 - has a strong protective effect on cardiovascular health. Findings from this 10-year population-based study, which followed 4,807 initially healthy men and women >55 years of age from start, indicate that eating foods rich in natural Vitamin K2 (at least 32 mcg/day) results in 50% reduction of arterial calcification, 50% reduction of cardiovascular risk, and 25% reduction of all-cause mortality.
In 2008, these findings were confirmed by another population-based study with 16,000 persons from the Prospect-EPIC cohort population. Female participants aged 49-70 years at the start of the study, were followed up for 8 years and were free of cardiovascular diseases at the baseline. The researchers found that for every 10mcg Vitamin K2 (MK-7, MK-8, and MK-9) consumed - not K1 - the risk of coronary heart disease was reduced by 9%.27 Unfortunately, the Western diet does not contain sufficient Vitamin K2, so supplementing with MenaQ7® Vitamin K2 as MK-7 is a viable alternative recommended by experts. Breakthrough MenaQ7® Cardiovascular Study Findings from a large clinical study, published in Thrombosis and Haemostasis28, signal Vitamin K2 as MK-7 as a potential game-changer for the cardiovascular health category. Scientists at the University of Maastricht (the Netherlands) performed a double-blind, randomized, intervention study of 244 postmenopausal women given either 180 mcg of Vitamin K2 as MK-7 (as MenaQ7® by NattoPharma) or a placebo daily for 3 years. Using ultrasound and pulse-wave velocity measurements (recognized as standard measurements for cardiovascular health), researchers determined that carotid artery distensibility was significantly improved for a 3-year period in the MenaQ7® group as compared with that of a placebo group, especially in women having high arterial stiffness. Also, pulse-wave velocity showed a statistically significantly decrease after 3 years for the Vitamin K2 (MK-7) group, but not for the placebo group, demonstrating an increase in the elasticity and reduction in age-related arterial stiffening, again, especially in women having high arterial stiffness. This first intervention trial on MK-7 supplements and cardiovascular endpoints showed that 3-year supplementation with a daily, nutritional dose (180 mcg) of MenaQ7® was enough to actually decreased arterial stiffness in healthy post-menopausal women.

Extremely helpful thank you
What i found out is effective is to consume more foods rich in magnesium together with those rich in k2.
Why, because magnesium ions push out calcium ions out of the cell when the system is depolarised (during muscle relaxation for example). The calcium then becomes free calcium extracellularly. Giving way for K2 to easily sweep it to where it can properly be stored.
If you are magnesium deficient, when calcium enters the cell during muscles contractions, it cannot fully return to it’s relaxed state since there’s no free magnesium to exchange with. Hence the muscle stays active. That’s when people get chronically tight muscles.
So firstly i get more magnesium into the system to fish out the calcium. Then vit K2 will direct the calcium for storage.
Depolarise

The most affordable way is to get a supplement with D3 and K2 combined. This way you don't have to buy them separately. Some K7 supplements are synthetic and not bioidentical, I buy the form made from fermented natto.
There are some vitamin K2 in grassfed and pasture raised animal foods, but they are not in high amount. Except liver which is a bit higher, especially poultry liver like duck and goose. Also duck fat. Aged cheeses is a very good K2 source, mostly MK4 with a little MK7. Gouda, Camembert, Stilton are three examples high in K2. Brie and cheddar have some K2. Parmesan and feta have almost no K2.

Somewhat disagree. IMO you need both. MK4 is very important. MK4 will cross the BBB (Blood Brain Barrier). Why is this important? Because calcifications can form in the brain just like they can build up in the arterial walls.You can find products out there that have both or you can just take different products that have different forms

MK-7 = BAD SIDE EFFECTS
I agree with you. I had a TERRIBLE reaction to an Mk-7 supplement. My fingers froze up, stiff and terribly painful. Since then I've heard of several other bad reactions to it including horrific heart palpitations that sent them to the ER, anxiety attacks - all which were resolved once the Mk-7 was stopped.
There are numerous MK4 stops and reverse bone loss, grows stronger bones and reduces fractures more than 80%. MK7 has never been shown to reduce fractures.
FETUSES BLOCK MK-7 -BUT THEY LIKE MK-4
"A good example of the body’s preference for MK-4 starts in the womb. A Japanese study divided pregnant women into two groups, one eating a normal diet and one eating a diet high in natto (the only natural form of MK-7). Even though K1, MK-4, MK-6 and MK-7 were found in the placenta, MK-6 and MK-7 were blocked from entering the fetus. K1 was found in the amniotic fluid, merconium and umbilical cord. Only vitamin K2 MK-4 was used directly by the fetus."

Emilia C save your money and time! Educate yourself first, doctors need to educate themselves!
Dont
Vitamin K is the perfect example of what to expect when you talk to an allopath (i.e. MD).
Vitamin K "interferes" with warfarin, a blood thinner, so most allopaths will advise you to dial back your dietary intakes of bananas, leafy greens, and most especially any supplements containing vitamin K since warfarin specifically inhibits the recycling of K in order to block the formation of fibrin. You need to convert fibrinogen into fibrin in order to form a clot, so "less fibrin" means "less tendancy to clot."
To an allopath, that means "mission accomplished" since the only objective was to frustrate the clotting process. Nevermind all the absurdities along the way: (1) increased arterial calcification over time due to K inhibition, (2) ridiculous fear of consuming whole foods that a person needs for other dietary requirements, and (3) the long-term mineral deficiencies in B vitamins and magnesium caused by the mechanisms of action for many blood thinners.
Great info. I take MK-7 and vitamin D, and I like kimchi, sauerkraut, and other fermented vegetables.
Great info once again Dr. Thanks for sharing with us your knowledge.
I would always take lower amounts.
More study is needed because our bodies work best when everything is in balance.

Thanks a lot Dr Mandel very good information as always, God bless you.
Some cardiologists now think calcium is the mortar in plaque and helps prevent it from doing worse damage if removed. So K2 m7 by itself could be a problem.
Studies of the MK-7 intake of Japanese women in the Tokyo region found that by eating natto every day, which is common in that region, the higher the intake of K2-MK-7, the less the risk of bone fractures among post-menopausal women. In other areas of Japan where natto isn't as popular, the fracture rate is higher and on par with fracture rates in other countries such as USA. Natto is sold in Asian grocery stores in little single-serving packets which each have about 400 to 500 mcg of MK-7. So, I think that the Japanese data shows the ideal intake of MK-7 is in that range. In Japan, a synthetic form of MK-4 is used as a pharmaceutical treatment for osteoporosis. The US FDA has stated that there is no known adverse effect of these intake levels or even higher, so it's considered safe by the FDA, but they haven't established a recommended daily allowance of Vitamin K2.
What if you already have calcified placque? Will taking Vitamin K2 destablize the placque to increase the risk of a heart attack?
huge question-
Well I started some of what you are teaching now I will start with this step with the k7thank you will let you know how I will be improving my health especially my bones GOD BLESS
If were not supplementing with vitamin K2 but we're getting vitamin D from lots of sun exposure, is that dangerous for arterial calcification or is it just supplementing? Does vitamin D from the sun act in a different way than supplementing it? Also, HOW MUCH K2 do we supplement with? How much K2 is needed in comparison to how much D3 were taking? Equal parts? Can we take too much K2?
Exactly. So aggravating when a video doesn’t even explain basic things.
Supplementation! But get various tests done with ur own MD, specifically a cardiologist just to be safe!
What about Cilantro and Dill? Thanks 4d information. ❤😊❤
Thank you for a great video. Is there a risk of clotting if I take K2 in a natural form, like fermented cabbage or is it only supplements that are risky? Thank you.
Thank you for you time. God Bless..
Dear Dr.Mandell,
I’ve been impressed by this video. I and my friend want to include vitamin K2 in our supplements. But some time ago she had a problem with the blood clot and was treated with anticoagulants. The blood clot is gone by now. She thinks that she is prone to blood clotting. I understand that K2 is different from K1, but the warning on MK7 by Jarrow company is saying to be cautious for people who are on anticoagulants. She isn't taking anticoagulants now. What is your opinion on whether it is safe for her to take K2?
We're you ever able to find out any information on this?
I've watched a video from Dr. Susan Brown [ Director of Center for Better Bones] that only Coumadin is the only anticoagulant that is not good to take w/ K2. Please see her vlog on TH-cam. I would like to hear from Dr. Mandell also about this b/c I value his input.
Thank u soo much for this Video, i evening don't know about all this things. Most Doctors don't know about it 😘😘😘
Yes, I mostly eliminated my knee pain with K2 plus D3. Looking for ways to get an updated heart scan next.
Get a calcium score for your heart. I forgot the name of the test but i just had it done and it was only about 50$ I had a score of Zero😁😁😁😁
what mg are you taking of k2 and d3 ?
On the money. I have started natto. It is ok just as it is. Many do not like it. It is very easy to flavour. A little, mustard, or Worcester sauce, or green mango pickle, chili ('Kaitaia Fire' the most flavoursome), Ton Yum, Kimchi and lots of others.
Doctor, wondering if the K2 would dislodge the plaque in the arteries ( in big chunks) and cause blockages?
Same question

Dr Mandell, Thank you for the excellent video. Hope you can recommend me the better brands of vitamin K2 MK7 to buy. I am thinking of buying Jarrow formulas MK7.
How about doing the right thing and including a link to the source material.
Can someone please help me with my question? Does vitamin k or vitamin k2 cause blood clots?
Does vitamin k or vitamin k2 cause blood clots (in arteries/veins/heart/lungs and so on) ?
Thank you very much.
Sadly I got heart palpitations and heart rate went up 100 bpm when I move my body after taken K2 100 mcg with vitamin D3 50 mcg with calcium 105 mg. I had to take magnesium glycinate 100 mg to reduce heart rate back to 80 bpm
Try getting k2 from foods
Cows milk also causes osteoporoses when you drink too much. So it's the opposite of what we were told. In Japan they drink less milk than American and European people do
Dr. What is the difference of vitamin K2 and Magnesium on Calcium? Because both of them are good for bones and heart.
You can learn about magnesium from life extension. Magnesium regulated thousands of functions including glucose.
Thanks for shearing such important information
DR. MANDELL - Thanks for publishing this content; good stuff! What about the endogenous conversion of MK4 to MK7? If I recall correctly, this conversion is much simpler and more commonly done well in people than converting K1 to K2. Is this true and do you know of any factors that impede that process? Thanks in advance!
Thank yo Dr. Mandel you always have great videos I enjoy them so much. Happy new year and all the Best to you in 2022.!
I know I need to ask my doctor before starting a supplement but can I take d3 and k2 while being on 50 MG of metoporol?
Get your D level checked to see where your at first but taking vit D at lower levels shouldn't hurt you.
Thank You so much I am on blood thinners, as a nurse I thought I was right. Yet I have calcium deposits thru out, but not by heart. I eat enough of K2
@patandemy You should check out Dr Berg on You Tube. He has a lot of videos about K2 and K1 He also talks about what veg to eat and not eat when taking Warfarin. (Video called) Acceptable vegetables if on Warfarin. Hope that can help
I find myself super frustrated because of the numerous contradicting articles on Vitamin K2 MK-7, which I started taking with Vitamin D3 2 months ago. So does K2 MK-7 cause blood clotting or not? I am a 49 yr old woman and do not take any blood thinners and was told to take ONLY vitamin D3 5 years ago. I hope I don't have any calcification in my arteries because of it. So 2 months ago I decided to start taking D3 with K2 with MK-7 and now am frightened of blood clotting! I'd like to improve my health NOT to endanger it. Please advise. Thank You.
k2 doesnt impact clotting. k1 does.
However the issue im concered about, is whether taking k2 would remove the plaque in big chunks and thus inadvertently CAUSE a blockage. ive asked it above to see if any of the commenters have any updates
Hi annette, that is a very good question that hasn't been answered by anyone.. I hope someone who has a knowledge in this certain situations would answer it
@@othernewsid2 any updates
Clotting is not from MK-7 but from MK-4
I Was Told 2 Take Vit D With K2 To Redirect The Calicum In My Blood!..(Which Had Higher Than Normal Readings) Bak 2 My Bones!..It’s Worth a Try As Far As I’m Concerned!
have you run across any info in whether the k2 would dislodge the plaque in big particles/chunks and unwittingly cause a blockage?
The only thing with vitamin k2 is if you get a cut it takes long to clot so you will be bleeding for like 30-45 minutes .I think with the supplements this is what happens
D:3 K2 niacin vit’a C E magnesium
Is k2 a blood thinner? I thought I helped blood clot
Thanks. Love all you put up.
Is dried Natto (snack) as good as the fresh Natto when it comes to K2?
Buy organic Moringa powder. A teaspoon contains approximately 80% of the daily K-1 recommended intake. I do it in capsules. Do not try and swallow it on an empty stomach. But if you do, just drink down a bit of Baking Soda water and it’ll be fine.
@motivationaldoc I’m a bit confused from the the first minutes of the video. My dad had a brain stroke and I got him vit. K2 and vit. D3. Is it safe? Many thanks!
It's effective for stroke
He meant be careful of K1 with Coumadin
Average Browser what do you mean? Good or bad effect?
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Great videos Doc, but please do cover the potential side effects of taking K2. I was quite alarmed.
Good question
Thank you for your videos, always learning something
