Let’s talk about the potential benefits of taking vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 at the same time.
Vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 work closely together. Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of calcium in the small intestines. Vitamin K2 takes calcium from the blood and transports it to the bones and teeth. It also activates a protein that keeps calcium out of the arteries, joints, and other areas of the body where it shouldn’t be.
Vitamin K2 has many additional potential benefits, from supporting healthy blood sugar levels to improving wrinkles.
Animal fats are a great source of the MK4 version of vitamin K2. A different form of vitamin K2, called MK7, comes from bacteria in foods like cheese and fermented foods. People who cut fatty foods from their diet are at risk for a vitamin K2 deficiency.
Foods high in vitamin K2:
• Grass-fed butter and ghee
• Hard and soft cheeses
• Egg yolks
• Goose liver, chicken liver, and beef liver
• Hot dogs
• Salmon
If someone chooses to take a vitamin K2 supplement, they may want to consider the MK7 version. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3, I suggest taking 100 MCG of vitamin K2.

Should I take k2?
I’m overwhelmed
I also have IBS and I feel I have low or malabsorption on some level which nhs don’t understand
I’ve been taking Vitamin D3 and K2 for about 2 years now . I do up my D3 intake in winter . The sun sets up here at 4:30 pm right now .
It took about 6 months before my arthritis pain went away . I never had a calcified artery . My mom did, she also had osteoporosis . But yet her doctor kept insisting she take calcium supplements . Never mentioned a thing about K2 at all . Also, she never mentioned to purchase natural vitamins . My mom was taking synthetic vitamins . Plus she was on so many meds ! Doctors need to start being held accountable for what they are recommending . I will never step foot in a doctors office again, even if I’m dying .

@@ktom4536 wow 😮 thanks for sharing.
By taking your K2 and D3 with animal fat at bedtime, along with your magnesium glycinate, as someone who suffered from chronic insomnia for over 16 years, I've been sleeping so much better! I'm actually able to fall asleep without having to wait until I'm nearly delirious with exhaustion, on top of that I've been able to roll over and fall back asleep. Something that was impossible for me!
I had a gastric bypass 10 years ago and that didn't help the sleep situation at all! I suffer from malabsorbtion.
I tried this a few nights ago as all I read was it was a bad idea and noticed I slept better.
I’m going to try this - I had read you should take your D3 in he daytime but I have such bad insomnia, I’m gonna try it ! Thanks !
@@Melody-285 I also drink herbal teas with skullcap, passionflower, poppy (not that kind), chamomile, and valerian among others. I make a blend with about 3-8 tea bags. The passion flower helps stop racing thoughts and the skullcap is calming for anxiety and nerves. Make sure to check with your doc if you're on any psych meds, heart meds, pregnant that kids of thing. Make sure to take the D with animal fat.
Right. Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on nutrients absorption, on the benefits of fasting correctly, on sleep, may be of interest.
@@Melody-285I heard that too re: the right time
I’m 64 and my doctor told me to take a Calcium supplement because of loss of bone density and osteoarthritis. I had been also taking 2000 D3. I did this for 2 years. Until I heard about K2 with mK7 from Natto. She never told me about that. I started taking that 4 months ago and stopped taking my Calcium as I increased it in my diet. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Great 👍 that you found out! Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on bone density , on osteoarthritis and on absorption of vitamin D may be of interest.
Eat meat !! It's what make bones , not calcium!! .check Dr Ken Berry!!.
As an update, I took the K2 for 3 and a half months but one night I wondered why I was itchy. I had broken out in hives like I’ve never ever had before. I continued to take the K2 but the itchiness was worse at night and I realized it was after dinner when I took the K2. I was also getting dizzy spells. I stopped taking the supplement and it took 3 weeks for the hives and dizziness to go away. Reading about possible side effects, I came across my symptoms. I really want to take it again for the benefits but am afraid I’m allergic to it.
@nighthawkde4522 what type of k2 and d? Thanks
@@nighthawkde4522 How much to take is always the question along with how much is absorbed. Does the supplement you are taking actually have the stated amount or too much or too little. Are you reacting to something else in the supplement. I have read a lot of reviews on different brands of vitamins and it is not uncommon for people to have bad reactions. But determining exactly why is nearly impossible. All you can do is stop the supplement. If you think it's from a binding or filler agent try to find the purest form in another brand by a small amount and try again. I take K2 m7 but I do not supplement it every day. I do not really want every last bit of calcium removed from my blood. But without constant bloodwork how would we even know?
Sir you are wonderful… teaching a non medical effectively. Hats off

@@Julie-ot6gw i would take 1 in the summer and 2 in winter
Thank you dr. Berg for everything. Here in Poland, but I guess it happens everywhere, there is misinformation which recommends huge portions of carbs instead of protein+ fats, not even mentioning vit D which is the most important vitamin + K2. No one ever told me that, and what I can do is educate myself, even though I am an IT guy.
I have been Keto for over a year. Im 30. Never felt so good, no hair loss anymore, no mood swings. not getting sick and if yes, then i go through it very very fast, not even having that many symptoms.
All because of first of all: vit D - where in march, my level was - 25, I felt terrible and I got sick twice in 6 months, till now where the level is 80-100. This month again, I will check my blood because summer is over, and we will see how much I will need.
My daily dosage is 10k which I guess is pretty ok.

First I would like to say Thank you May God continue to bless you
My mom has a coronary calcium score of 1800 had a bypass about 4 yrs ago. she still have blockages but they were less than 60% so they did not fix it but they fixed the one with 99% and 80% blockage. She is 73 years old. I been hearing about this k3 mk7 as well D3 for a long time. I always want to give it to her, but I heard if you have too much calcification and you take those supplements it can dislodged the calcium from your artery and can cause stroke. I wonder if this is the right information .
I always ask this question every were I see about this information but no one is willing to give me an answer. Hope I will hear from you
@@SuperThankyougodNo, because it dissolves it in tiny molecules, it’s not like pieces of plaque falling off! See his multiple videos on plaque, strokes, k2, ect. He’s made videos on almost each possible angle around these situations.

My acpuncture guy tells me to take D3 +K2 in the morning due to it being a potential insommnia factor. No idea if he's right, but he's a good TCM doctor, so I'm following his advice, at least for the time being while I battle insommnia.

@@DrbergI just brought your vitamin d3 10,000 iu plus k2 . Do I need to take magnesium with it or it has magnesium in it
Why do some docs say to take the D3 and K vitamins separately but some say take them together? Confusing.
Also, is K4 or K7 better?
Trying to figure all of this out. I currently take 10,000 IU a day of a liquid D3 (especially for Multiple Sclerosis etc) but wondering about adding (a) K vitamin(s).
Will be 58 on September 18 and have been on D3 since 2018 but D3 MK7 13 mos. My teeth are in better health since about 7 yrs again.
Dr Berg formulation of the 10K IU vitamin d includes also Zinc and Magnesium, which are needed to allow the cells in the body to actually absorb and use that vitamin d, otherwise we do not get the benefit as much + the body will be a bit depleted in those cofactors, Zinc, Boron, Magnesium and so on, otherwise. Stopping drinking and smoking is also essential to keep those nutrients and cofactors in the body, otherwise excessive urination (diuretic effect) and dihareea will deplete the body of those even more
Brilliant. Thank You Dr. Berg.
Just double-checked the D & K2/MK7 ratio on my supplement... all good here 🙂
Thank you for explaining MK4 vs MK7, didn't understand that before.
hello dr berg, i was planning on ordering your magnesium product as well as your vitamin d3/k2 product. however, i noticed that your d3/k2 product has 10,000 IUs (which i have recently learned is completely fine through your videos and others). however, your magnesium product also shows 1,000 IUs of D3 cholecalciferol. so my question is, is combining these two products (10,000 IUs in the one plus 1,000 IUs in the other) anything i should be concerned about? thank you and i hope to hear from you.
i been searching for days in which vid you mention the ratio lol funny how many vids you have on vit d but hard to find ratios along side with k2, magnesium and zinc. So glad i found it :') been getting palpitation after taking my d3 and magnesium... hoping k2 will solve that. We'll see. Luv you Doc! thanks for everything
I was literally doing research about D3 and K2 yesterday, right before you published this video!! Amazing, weird and lucky!
He’s made quite a few other awesome videos on k2 and d3, including on absorption, on symptoms of deficiencies, toxicity, .
Dr Berg, can you do a video explaining how to take vitamins and supplements? Is there a benefit to taking them at a certain time of day, can you take them all at the same time together or should some not be mixed with other supplements? If you are a diabetic (T2) how much of each should I be taking? I would be grateful for a detailed video explaining all of this.
Take them whenever you want, preferably with a meal. Don't need to make it complicated, your body does its best to absorb whatever it needs.

Great video Dr. Berg.
One question. With so many different vitamins we need to take and so many combinations, would you advise us to take them as a multivatamin or for separated. And if is better taking them for separated, which (names) should we take in normal circunstances.
if you want high doses you probably want to take them separate.

So grateful for this information and the explanation. Thank you Dr. B
It’s crazy because I was just researching vitamin K2 because my doctor recommended me taking K2 along with vitamin D3 because as a 40 year old male, I was diagnosed with osteopenia after my Dexa Bone Density scan was done.
Very abnormal for a guy my age to even have mild bone loss, it’s mostly a woman’s issue especially older woman, and very old men. The reason why I believe I have some miles bone loss is because I believe I have Hyperparathyoridsim.
My serum calcium levels have always been high, actually they are too elevated which is not normal. So even though I have very high calcium levels in my blood, like 10.5 and sometimes higher, I have bone loss. The only explanation for the high calcium is that one of my parathyroid glands has a tumor which is causing my body to suck excess amounts of calcium from my bones even though my PTH levels are normal.
So for now before doing more testing on my parathyroid glands, and to help remove that excess calcium from my blood, and put it back into my bones where it belongs, is to start taking K2 on a daily basis.
I have dealt with chronic fatigue for years and slow memory processing, brain fog, lack of energy, and I believe it all has to do with the elevated calcium levels in my blood which can cause brain and nerve connection problems.
In many ways vitamin K2 should be way more popular and talked about when it comes to cardiovascular health from cardiologist. If one has high blood pressure, some plaquing of the arteries already, cardiologist should start telling their patients to get on a vitamin K2 supplement ASAP, and not a stupid statin. K2 will help remove the plaque buildup in the arteries, unlike a statin or any other type of drug that doesn’t do a damn thing to actually fix or cure the problem.
I am hoping after a few months of taking K2 and D3 together, that my serum calcium will go down into the 9’s where it should be, not in the 10’s especially the mid 10’s. Hopefully my energy levels, and cognitive function will improve even if I might possibly have a parathyroid tumor.
you may also need Mg .. I started Mg glycinate awhile back (in addition to K2D3) .. Mg needed for multitudes of functions including assisting D3K2 to move calcium from soft tissue to bones and teeth ..
I so hope you get improvement and that you DON'T have a tumor.
You sound like you have low testosterone levels, with those symptoms of fatigue, brain fog etc.
Get tested, and don't listen to your doctor when he tells you levels of an 80yo are normal for a 40yo guy.
@@neveldas I know, I hope I don’t either. Good thing about those tumors is that 99% of the time they are not cancerous. And the surgery to remove one is very minimal invasive surgery so nothing risky. If I do have a tumor, the only real cure for my excessively high calcium levels in the blood, is to remove it.
I’m trying to reduce my blood calcium as well. Please let us know if k2 works & how much you are taking. Thanks
Thank you Dr for this well explanation on Vit 3 &D3 together

@@AllThingsHumorstill feeling great, taking between 30,000 iu to 20,000 iu daily with the recommended formula given by Dr Berg K2 1,000 d3/100 mcg formula. This winter for the very first time in decades didn’t felt ill in bed with any virus even though i was able to feel twice in December my body was obviously fighting something 🦠 but first time in decade that whatever it is by body was fighting didn’t take me down at all felt more like a little cold, by the symptoms however I was feeling i knew that was no little cold and knew the reason i didn’t fell ill was because i finally gave myself a fighting chance with the D3
All the information shared really shows truth. I mean Dr. Berg looks far healthier and younger than a lot of other men his age at 57.
Thanks! Confused though. About what you mention on Canadian supplements of K2, being not allowed higher than 121 mcg, whilst we would need 45 húndred (4500) mcg per day, and then advicing 100 mcg for every 10'000 IU of D3..?
Anybody that claims you need 20 times the amount every day that you could ever get from Natural Foods is a lunatic and I wouldn't listen to their advice avoid as many supplements as you can get all your nutrients from Whole Foods and stop listening to these Psychopaths who say you need 50x the amount that you could ever get from Foods it is sheer nonsense the human body didn't evolve to need insane amounts of certain nutrients that are impossible to find unless you synthesize them in a laboratory.
He is advising what is in his own product. Of course he wouldn’t recommend above what his d3/k2 supplement has as it would be a knock on his own brand. 100mcg for 10,000 IU is much lower than anything I’ve seen before.
@@Booze2407 Thanks. Although I read 180 mcg K2mk7 per day is even enough if you do a cure of a couple of months with D3 in super high doses of 80'000 to 100'000 per day. I just don't understand how dr. Berg would come up with 4500 mcg of K2. I think he misspoke and confused it with D3 doses.
It looks like since mk4 has a shorter half life, the recommended dose is 4500mcg. The mk7 recommendation was 360mcg on Google. I was confused too.
I also take magnesium glycinate with my D3 and K2
Me too
Thank you Dr. Berg for all these videos and priceless information god bless you.
I used to suffer jaw discomfort I associated with grinding and TMJ. It occurred to me recently that I haven't been suffering that discomfort. I suspect adjusting my diet has actually addressed that. It could be K2 or some of many other improvements I've made (such as magnesium, which I do know helped my chronic pain from degenerative disc disease, even before I changed my eating to low-carb.)
@Carbageman
Wow that's great 👏. I take all those and I have degenerative disc disease and have been taking magnesium for years and I've recently been told I grind my teeth by the dentist and they say I have TMJ and I still have pain...in fact I have to have surgery 😢.
May I ask what dose you take of these I thought I was taking what Dr. Berg recommended for the magnesium and K2 but I know I need more of D3 because my doctor wrote a script for 50,000iu because stores don't carry that dose & of course my insurance wouldn't cover it said I could get it otc 🤦♀️ yes but not that dose that my Dr says I need ugh.
These companies make us jump through too many hoops and especially when they're some doctors who truly do want to help us.
Thanks for your help!!! And very happy for you that you don't suffer anymore 👏👏👏
@@pamelatimbush3762Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on TMJ, on grinding, on teeth 🦷 on jaws, on k2, raw butter from grass fed animals and on absorption of vitamin D may be of interest.

Is taking Vitamin K2 with vitamin E a bad idea? I googled it and what Google says is alarming.. if taking K2 makes you more likely to have blood clots then you would think vitamin E would help counteract but now it doesn't seem to be a good idea I would like to hear your opinion on this Dr berg
Any way you could do a more in depth video on easy bruising?
Thank you for this information. I bought the D3 & K2 vitamin you have made and I look forward to taking it with my husband!
Dr. Berg thanks for the Canada shout out!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you Dr. Berg, we love you. Your advice is priceless and I am so thankful ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I’m grateful for your support-means a lot!
Every day you present🎁 us with a💎 Gem of news for health issues.We are blessed as you💯 are messenger of God. Thanks🙏
I totally agree. Dr Berg literally saved my life.
I just started taking vitamin k2 with d3 after watching these videos, as I've been dealing with bone loss at an early age
I’m a 55 year old post menopausal woman, and I developed a vitamin D deficiency. I started taking vitamin D3 supplements in January; however, over time I noticed stiffness and crackling in my joints/tissues, especially my neck. I recently tried a 1000 IU D3/45 mcg MK7 K2 vitamin, and I immediately noticed an improvement; however, after a week I was breaking out in hives. I’ve read that hives can be a side effect of K2. I’m back to taking only D3, and the stiffness/crackling is returning. Do you have any suggestions for people who may have reactions to K2? I will add that I have never had any known allergies to foods or medications in the past.
Did you not listening to the information on K2 in food? I guess its best to get it in food. Google yourself i think Gouda cheese and Kefir is good too. Do you take magnsium supplements and eat seeds as chia and pumpkin? Dont forget walnuts...
Incredible important information. Thank you Dr Berg...
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful.
I take 20.000 IUs of Vitamin D and K2 daily. Is that too much or am I good? I also take Zinc, Magnesium, Probiotics and Nattokinase daily.
If you are uncertain, Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on vitamin d toxicity and on symptoms of deficiencies may be of interest.
This is awesome bc I try to take D3, and I often eat Natto (super high in K2), but never thought to eat them together.
Saurkraut, Kimchi and Kombucha are other very good sources for K2
People are healthier in Europe , in most cases because they walk to and from their homes to public transportation.
The food they eat is better than the US cheap fast foods . They spend the time to eat properly !
In the US our distances are much greater so we hop in our cars to get to where we want to go , Very little walking .
Lots of junk food everywhere and we stuff it down our throats in a matter of minutes !
It’s the lifestyle more than anything else !
Now you don't even need to drive to get fast food
Not all of Europe
The UK is a mess
K2 in NATTO is great but ita an acquired taste
@@falconone7230when they Rebuilt after WW2, they made it closer
There is a lot of truth in what you are saying, people will drive to McDonalds, use the drive thru, consume 1200+ calories, eat in the car, drive home and watch TV.
@@kathleenking47as far as I remember, UK has cheap healthy and good quality food. I lived a healthy lifestyle while living in Brighton.
Very good video dr. Berg thank you 🙏
Thanks for info about Canada. 🇨🇦 I need to attend to this.
The MK7 is readily available here in Canada, I've never actually seen a bottle of K2 with MK4
I buy from our local health food store
Thank you Doc Berg. Great info.
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
the dose used most of the time in vk2 mk4studies is 45mg or 45000mcg.
Another video packed with good information. Thank you. M
Is it okay to take Nattokinase while taking D3 & K2?
Yes.
Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on k2 may be of interest with more data.

Is it better to take d3 ,k2 and magnesium together or the d3 magnesium in the morning and k2 in the evening?
D3 k2 together morning, magnesium evening.
No, they work together. He answers this here and in earlier videos on absorption of vitamin D.
Thank you, Dr Berg ❤
I took d3 4000 iu and k2 mk7 200 mcg since mid 2018. It reduce the inflammation in both my shoulders by half. However, there are some deeper pains required discovering omega3 and cats claws in 2021 to be reduced.
Around jun 2023 this year, i tried k2 mk4 high dosage from thorne brand, the multi K with 5 mg of k2mk4. The effect is significant, compared to the super k2 i previously used for last 2 years. Which lead me to get the drop type from the same brand.
With 10-20mg of k2 mk4 a day, in a month time most of my old old chronic deep pain in neck, shoulders, fingers, legs are all much reduced.
So yes, k2 is important. But mk7 lead me to hv palpitations when more than 200 mcg per day. There are high quality mk4 and at above 10 mg per day is simply fantastic, much better than mk7 that i used for 5 years
Heart palpitations is often caused by a lack of magnesium/ potassium. Here and in earlier videos on absorption of vitamin D, Dr Berg explains the importance of magnesium for d3 absorption / digestion.
Truly Blessed Doctor! You are the best 🥰 I know someone who needs to hear this info and this is a great explanation. Wonderful. Thank you
Thank you, Dr., you are always so helpful. Your explanation is simple and on the spot 😀👌
