Do note subsequent studies in humans have tested other forms of Vitamin K, namely K2-MK7 and found similar benefit. Out of each of these forms, K2-MK7 is longest lasting in our bloodstream. Normal K (K1) and K2-MK4 last less than six hours in our bodies. K2-MK7 can last for several days, depending on how our bodies enable it.
It’s probably best to have all three forms, and there are supplements with available with all three.
Of note, the highest density of Vitamin K2-MK7 in nature comes from “natto,” which is a fermented soybean meal item in parts of Japan. We can make our own for very little cost. It also has the highest amount of nattokinase, which helps in other ways in our arteries.
Natto is a strange, bland tasting item, but you don’t need to eat much to get all of its benefits.
Yet those of us with artificial heart valves or stents and on warfarin are told to stay away from foods with Vitamin K, namely greens and such.
I started taking a Vit.K supplement a week ago but it’s only 100mg. Still, better than none I guess.
I believe vitamin K disrupts blood coagulation, and causes issue related to hematology for folks on certain blood thinners.
Can you put Ketchup on it?
You need to take it in conjunction with D3 for optimal results. We take them together everyday.
What are the interactions with prescription heart meds?
Himself takes a lot of pills, after the 3X bypass in 2010, two “small” heart attacks last year and now a diagnosis of CHF.
Would love to find something that could help him.
100MCG, not MG. I should have checked the bottle.
And bacon.

Vitamins hold the potential to bankrupt Big Pharma. I’m surprised the Deep State hasn’t gotten them banned, yet.
One of best ways to stay heart healthy....GIVE BLOOD REGULARLY.
The Pharms are trying to highly regulate or ban supplements ...thru congress, regularly
Get his blood viscosity checked.
BKMK.
You can put ketchup on anything...
My aortic valve was replaced in 2012 with a tissue valve. In 2015 I was told the new valve was calcified and there was severe aortic stenosis. The cardiologist was ready to send me to surgery as soon as I started showing symptoms which he expected to be within weeks. After only 3 years since my initial surgery, I didn’t want to go through it again. I did my research and started taking K2. I saw the cardiologist every three months, and each time he told me I should go to see the surgeon. He told me to stop taking the K2 since it wasn’t prescribed. I ignored his advice and after nine months I told him I wanted to wait for my annual echo to see if there was any improvement. He told me that was a waste of time.
I got the echo and it showed that the calcification and stenosis were gone. I still take K2 and the valve is still working normally.

...
I took K2 while taking Coumadin. Just tell the clinic what you’re doing and they’ll adjust the Coumadin accordingly. No problem.
I think you meant to say: 100mcg. 100mg would be substantially more. According to the article 45mcg was shown to be beneficial.
