Dr. Mercola had an article a couple months ago on the importance of supplementing with Vitamin K2 if you’re going to supplement with Vit D3. Some studies showed that K2 helps keep calcium from being leached from your bones by the D3 and being depositied, among other places, in your arteries. So, that might explain the heart health issues that this study was finding.

FWIW, here's Dr. Cannell's formula: Purity Products. It contains K2.

I don’t understand why it would be important to take K2, magnesium or anything else with vitamin D as those things don’t come with sunlight. Maybe the fact of ingesting the vitamin D changes the equation somehow.
