“If you don’t have excess vitamin d you don’t need to supplement vitamin k”.

Sorry but that’s totally untrue. Vitamin d pushes calcium into your system. The vitamin k pushes the calcium into your bones. You need both.
Exactly how my doc explained it, GG2. Thanks.
I want to let you know that there is no agreement among investigators that you need to supplement vitamin k. Michael Holick, for example, said he was skeptikal about the vitamin k claims when he was asked if people should supplement it.
People in the coldest countries took 10 micrograms of vitamin d per day for decades. So people today take in 1 month what those people took in two years. The Danish, Norwegians, are smart. They wouldn’t have taken an extremely suboptimal amount for decades and not noticed it. Today, in Switzerland, the recommendation is similar, 20 micrograms per day.
I think people take excess vitamin d, and instead of reducing the amount to stop the problems, they also take vitamin k, the antidote to excess vitamin d, at the same time.
