I started taking K2 with MK7 and D3 around 8 months ago. My ankles were turning purple because I have poor peripheral circulation caused by 2 constricted arteries in my legs . Now I can see the individual capillary vessels and my daily walking distance improved substantially. I am 76 years old.😀

I'm 56 and 6mths ago I saw a cardiologist because I wanted a CT scan to check for atherosclerosis as a "I'm getting old" type of precautionary checkup. During the consult I asked if he had an opinion on a K2 supplement as an intervention for Atherosclerosis and he said "if it's not on the list of Government subsidized drugs list, it is not worth taking" I'm never going back to him.

My hemorrhoids disappeared after taking D3 and K2. Had 'em for 10 years, and in a few weeks, gone. Now THAT'S a success story.

I have been using K2-Mk7 for years, my major in college was microbiology, I should have majored in physiology or bio-chemistry, but anyway my research started years ago after reoccurring heart problems, I finally dumped my cardiologist and started heavy research on arterial inflammation. I’m 70 now and have stabilized my heart and arterial function. I have thousands of pages of research on all facets of heart and arterial funtion. K2-Mk7 should be used by EVERYONE! Including pregnant woman. Women that take vitamin D3 and Calcium without taking K2-Mk7 have a 25-30% greater risk of CVD and a much greater risk of hip fractures. I have recommended K2-Mk7 to people with very bad neuropathy and everyone that uses it can walk without pain and don’t have to wear special shoes anymore. I ran across a small study out of India on the effect of K2 on peripheral neuropathy, that convinced me that K2-Mk7 has hidden nutritional value that we don’t understand yet.

My husband has been taking D3/K2 for several years. He has had many painful kidney stones over the years. He hasn’t had a stone since we started this supplement.

K2 cleared up the muscle calcification in my hands that I had for years. Slowly over a six month period the calcium was gone. It's not just the arteries that it removes calcium from.

My Father had a heart bypass in his sixties and lived to 86 years old, my Mom developed heart disease in her late seventies and lived to be 93. Unfortunately I still smoke but have been taking D3 with K2 for about a year. I had a heart CT and the Dr. said it was excellent, he said you have no calcium in your heart vessels. I will stop smoking. But I will also keep taking D3 & K2.

A year and a half ago, I was running blood pressures of approx 140 - 144/ 84 - 86. I read on the Internet (Yes, I know that that's the thing most doctors hate to hear) about D3 and K2. I got drug store versions of both. I had been on Norvasc/Amlodipine 5 mg for about 6 years, about 2 years ago, my MD had raised that to 10 Mg because my BP kept edging up. After about 6 months, I saw a drop of about 8 points in BP. In about March, 2020, as Covid restrictions set in, I decided to follow my doctor's suggestion about life style, esp. losing weight. I also switched to high-potency D3 and K2/MK4/MK7. By mid-summer, 2020, I had lost about 15 pounds (6' tall, 218 to 213 pounds) I was down to about 123/72 and my doctor reduced my Amlodipine to 5 mg again with no adverse effect on BP. Today (Nov. 23, 2020), I'm down to 192 pounds and my BP is usually about 114/64. For about 30 years, I have had calcium deposits (sub-mandibular exostosis) on the inside of my jawbone. A large one on the left side and a smaller on the right made dental work like x-rays quite uncomfortable. About February of this year, I noticed that the right one was essentially gone and the left one had diminished in size considerably. Since then, the left one has continued to shrink. In April, 2019, I had a stress test with heart MRI. I blew the stress test away - I decided to see how much I could do by only breathing through my nose and reached stage 5 without having to breathe through my mouth. I reached stable pulse rate with no issues on EKG. My heart MRI was entirely clear with good action and evacuation rates except what showed up as "mild calcifications". An ultrasound at the same time showed no remarkable results. I feel much better at 192 pounds and lower BPs. I'm male, 72 years old, family history of disabling stroke (grandmother, age 74) and fatal heart attack (grandfather, age 62). My father was on blood pressure medication from his mid-30s until he died of diabetes complications in his mid-80s. I have never experienced any signs of coronary or other vascular disease.

I have been on D3 and K2 for several years (I am 65). I have had some odd things happen. First off, I go to the dentist every 6 months for cleaning. The last 3 cleanings, I have had no tartar/plaque (calcium) build up on my teeth. In the past, I had heavy build up. The hygienist keeps asking me what I am doing. Today, I was at the dentist for a cleaning, I was in and out in 15 minutes. I had no tartar, she just polished my teeth. She said I was her easiest patient. The other thing I noticed was that the cardiac fold on my ear has almost disappeared. It use to be pretty deep and now it is just a line. I believe the K2 is working to remove the calcium from places it doesn't need to be and putting it back in my bones.

Love this presentation. No fluff, no product sales just straight up information. Thank you!

K2 was first mentioned as Factor X by Weston Price in the 20s

My mother 84 year young was suffering with very high blood press after month going to the dr and switching meds. I read the benefits of Vitamins K2 plus D3 After one week her blood press was almost normal....130/70

God bless doctors who seriously want the best for their patients. I take vitamin K2 but never heard of a doctor who talks about it.

I did a calcium score and a significant calcification was seen in heart arteries and carotids last year... I came across Vit.K2/D3 on the net. I stopped the Crestor 10 mg after 4 years and I started the Vit.K2/D3 four days after and went back after 4 months to check it out and the calcification was zero.. nothing at all. I took the first 3 month 360 mcg K2 /D3 (2 pills a day from a brand called NOW) and after that 1 pill per day with olive oil in the morning. Didn't changed my diet at all. Well this is my experience.😉

I HAD a terrible problem with kidney stones, a health food store worker recommended I try D-3 and K-2 to treat the problem and now for over three years I am stone free.

I began taking 100 ug of Vit K-2 MK7 five years ago when I was 63. I couldn't tell it was doing anything for at least 2 years. I then noticed my BP was going down. I cut out 1 BP med and cut another in half. (With my Doctors approval) I then began eating a ketogenic diet and lost 70 lbs while continuing Vit D-3 K-2 and Mg. I have cut 2 more BP meds in half. I attribute the 1st cut in BP meds to the Vit K-2 and the 2nd round of cuts to a combination of K-2 and the keto diet helping me lose weight. I will also say my teeth have been very healthy.

You know what amazes me is that the doctor tells you not to eat cheese when you have high cholesterol.

My mother had terrible osteoporosis, bones turning to chalk. For years I bought her the most expensive bio-available, plant based Calcium with all the support nutrients. But they did not know about vitamin K back then. She also had gall stones from calcium build-up. I believe that if I had been told to give her vitamin K all these problems could have been avoided. I am troubled that today most people know nothing about Vitamin K. They think that D is all you need.

Since taking d3 and k2 for 3 years, I have had only 1 small cavity, whereas I used to get a lot of cavities and my teeth seem stronger now.

I take Vitamin D3 daily, which has a Vitamin K that includes 1000 mcg K2 in the form of MK-4, and 100 mcg in the form of MK-7. Both forms seem to show promise in the prevention and treatment of blood vessel calcification. I personally would not take D3 without K2.

My natural doctor prescribed me vitamin k2 and d3 together rare to find doctor like that. Most doctor give pills and not vitamins.

This is where my Cardiac Drs all fail me: I've had over 4 of them. We the patients need to understand from those that do understand. My Drs prescribe meds with no lecture about why. The advantage I get out of youtube Drs is this. I watch multitudes on the same topic such as potassium or K2, Magnesium, etc. Thanks for helping me understand

Wow, a smart doctor, how refreshing. I wish you were in Michigan.

Hello again, I just got through reading so many of everyone’s comments about their physicians pushing pills and not explaining or having much knowledge in more wholistic treatment modalities. I’m a D. O. and the training appealed to me because of many of the experiences with health professionals you mentioned who didn’t have knowledge of wellness and life style awareness. Unfortunately, even in Osteopathic med school we got very little training in diet and wellness techniques for healthy living but even though I prescribe medications as a psychiatrist, I always try to suggest other modalities including supplements exercise etc to enhance improved moods and help cognitive problems. As a patient now for cardiac issues, I too greatly appreciate a physician with knowledge of dietary and supplements that can reverse my heart disease and metabolic syndrome. It’s not all unhealthy life habits we as patients are struggling with. There’s genetic inheritance that may predispose us to coronary heart disease and the concept of “hacking your genes” with diet, supplements, fasting etc is something we should be aware of to avoid dangerous procedures and medications we may need to be on as we age… Best of luck to you all in your devotion to staying healthy!

Great advice. The cardiologists that I've visited in the past are 20-30 years behind research related to Nutrition and heart health. I consider them equivalent to low-grade auto technicians.

I'm 69 years old and come from a family where the men die from heart attacks. I had to take blood-pressure medicine for many years. I read about the Rotterdam Study and decided that it wouldn't hurt me to take MK7 so I binged on Natto and k2 supplements for a number of years, during which time I was able to stop taking the blood-pressure medicine. Years later, I needed to be cleared medically for a hip replacement. The testing involved clearing my heart and vascular system. I was eventually underwent an angiogram. The results surprised me and my surgeon. When I awoke, he said "Well, you're clear." I said, "You mean my veins aren't clogged?" He said, "Your veins are like a 16 year old's." I still regularly take MK7 supplements and periodically buy around $60 worth of Natto.

My neighbour (a well educated professional) told me she’d been taking D3, prescribed by her doctor, for the past 9 years. I asked her if she supplemented the D3 with K2, to protect her blood vessels and other soft-tissues from calcification. She said she’d never heard of it, so I suggested she look into it. A week later I asked her if she had and she said ...nah! if it was important, my doctor would have said so.

I just found this site, the video is very informative. And the “comments and replies” have qualified me as an expert on regional Indian pharmacology and culture. Thank you all.

This Dr knows his stuff.

My husband’s cardiologist hadn’t heard about K2. He also had a small stroke and dvt, so the dr said absolutely no. He really didn’t understand this vitamin. We’re hoping more formation reaches the medical community.

I have added k2 with D3 and fish oil to the morning regimen and things are feeling better.

It's so nice to see someone point out "associations" vs causation, and explaining what would be need to demonstrate causation. Far too many people leave this out when discussing effects on health. It really helps to show you are not just pushing an agenda. I like the nice concise, unemotional delivery of the information

Not telling patients about the potential benefits of vitamin K2 is contrary to practicing good preventative medicine.

I have been on K2 for yrs as a safety for my ticker. All the research news I have researched tends to be good to very good for a everyday regular supplement. Thank you cardiogauge for your fair input.

I’m 66. I started K2 six months ago. I read that K2 was good for diabetic nerve pain and wondered if it would work on pain associated with dupytrens. The first thing I noticed is that it relieved the pain from dupytrens in my hand within two days but I still wasn’t convinced. I decided to see what the dentist would say about my teeth at my next checkup. He commented on my healthy teeth, gums and hardly any plaque!! He said the cracks from age had stabilised (I’m hoping they remineralise with more time). He polished my teeth and sent me on my way. If the plaque on teeth is the same that is deposited in our arteries then I’m hoping that’s also improving even-though I can’t see it.

Very concise and informational! I’m starting K2 today. Thanks Doctor!

I took vitamin K2 and it made me feel so good I could not believe it so I take it and I really enjoyed the video so keep up the good work and take vitamin K2 everyday and I feel so good like I drunk a beer or something I never seen nothing like it

My cholesterol is 370. I've been taking Vitamin D w/k2 for more than a year. My coronary artery calcium score was Zero. Don't know if this is the reason, but I'm not complaining!

Thank you for such a clear walk-through of the studies.

Don't wait too long for more studies to come out before recommending K2 because it can't hurt and in my cases will help. Many yrs. ago I had a calcium score CT scan done ($105 out of pocket in most cases) and I had some calcification. I had it done again recently after doing intermittent fasting and very low carb for 6 yrs and my overall score was zero, so one can improve their health. Not surprising my HDL was 114; LDL 151 (I love it high to help the immune system and the brain) and my triglycerides were 46 (celebratory). A live blood cell analysis showed no inflammation. I do agree that one should not only take K2 but do low carb/keto.

Thank you for this no-nonsense, well informed video, I appreciate it!

Another trial underway is BASIK2, testing whether MK7 supplementation reduces calcification of the bicuspid aortic valve.

The point: K2 is good.

FINALLY a video that answers all my questions about K2/7 THANK YOU

The postman just delivered D3&K2-Combo and now the algorithm delivers this video, thats spooky.

It's important to take D3 and K2 together because they work synergistically together enhancing absorption. Very important! One is not as good without the other. You will find that the combination of supplements are better than just taking a single one. On the other hand I dont take a multi vit simply because there is not enough of certain vitamins and/or minerals in them that you need more of. So I take higher single doses of those. It's also important to mention that you should take a multi B or complex because taking one individual B can offset the absorption and efficacy of other B's.

Thanks for your work putting this video together. I’ve heard that K2 is the guide for D3 to direct calcium to the bones instead of the arteries. So i have both but not every day. Almost twice a week.

There is in fact a way to do follow-up testing for patients taking K-2. Start with an initial CT calcium score, then do annual calcium scores thereafter. The progression, or lack of same would be an indicator of the effectiveness of the K-2 therapy. (I would consider 360 micrograms/day for patients with known CVD.)

I'm doing a personal study on myself lol. Green leafy vegetables make my gut feel better. I have an association between gut health and heart rhythm and I'm going to say green leafy vegetables are a good treatment for Rohmheld Syndrome. Even romain lettuce, which I wouldn't think had a lot of particularly special nutrition to it, helps a lot.

Very comforting to watch a doctor who has read this important data; as patients, we should study the brands we are about to take.+ dosage.

K2 can now be found in combination with D3 & calcium supplements, so no need to buy separately. Eating foods high in K2 will also improve health: all greens (cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc), grass-fed beef and liver, butter, cheese, and ferments such as a sauerkraut, natto (fermented soybeans). I take K2 with both calcium & D3 with my main meal of protein and greens.

You have a natural talent for presenting info in a clear, understandable way. Thanks very much for putting your videos together. I've seen three of them already and enjoyed all of them. I recently had a heart CT scan done and was shocked when I was told my score was 2354!! (at 60 years of age and believing I was in great health!). I immediately went on a daily baby aspirin but drug my feet when my primary doctor placed an order for statins (10mg). However, after meeting with my cardiologist the first time, he also wanted me to go on the same statin (Rosuvastatin/Crestor) at 20mg. I just started taking 10mg three days ago, easing into it to see how my body reacts. Luckily I had a physical a month ago so I have a baseline of my glucose, kidney and liver function before going on Crestor. When I was told my score, naturally I did a lot of reading and found evidence that K2 could help me with my condition. I started 100mcg 3 days after I got the news of he high CAC score. I saw you recommend 300mcg. Do you recommend taking all of it in the morning, or spread it out throughout the day? Thanks in advance.

I'm taking K2 to move calcification from soft tissue where it is causing pain. Also from joints. Taking apple cider vinegar too.

EVERYONE should be on this Doc, you crazy? I have been in it for over 3 years now and its a gamechanger.

It works. Yes, there are "follow up tests" you can test for undercarboxylated osteocalcin. This an indicator of K2mk7's effectiveness in the body.

My wife had osteoporosis and osteopenia diagnosed from a done density test done 3 years ago. Not wanting to take any big pharma drug with possible side effects. She began to take 300 micro grams and 5000 iu of Vit D daily. She was retested at the same lab 18 months later and the test showed an increase in done density in all 10 areas tested. For example a -2.7 reading is now -2.2 (less negative is good) with an 11percent less chance of a bone break. My wife took no other supplements, drugs or exercise to achieve this result. My understanding is that K2 enables the transport of calcium to your bone and will leach it from your dietary intake, arteries and joints were it does not belong. I hope this helps.

WOW. I have genetic issues & calcifying valves, hardening arteries. I'll try this K2!! Thank you!! So awesome!!

Hi Doc.... I had a Cardiac Arrest 18month Ago and have 5 stents fitted as a result. I have started on D3 + K2 (MK7) just one week ago ....I thought I was imagining it after day one ....my energy levels and Angina in my arms were clearly improved. Thinking I was just having a good day, I have continued and all I can say is ...I am amazed. Almost daily Angina pain to arms has not yet returned and my energy, quality of sleep and even depression continue to improve. Should you be interested - I shall continue updates and Thankyou for your reassuring video.

This is a good video. First, it cites real primary sources that you can go read for yourself. He narrates like an academic medical journal review seminar. No outlandish claims. Covers the "methodology" of the study. Emphasizes study limitations due to trial design. The only thing that could make this presentation more nerdy is to dive into the statistical analysis of resulting data and whether the results are both "statistically" and "clinically" significant. The support for Vit K2 is derived from this narrow but well conducted randomized, double blinded, control trial and the results show a statistically significant difference between study groups. However the clinical significance are only linked to calcium score outcomes, which themselves have some limitations on predicting arterial health outcomes. Making the jump from more dietary K2 = lower calcium scores = better cardiovascular outcomes begins to compound the errors in statistical and clinical significance. Hopefully this newest pending study can add additional support to the claims of K2 benefits. Also, good to remember that these small differences in calcium scores (58 vs 74 points), doesn't make the vitamin a cure all for everybody. Some patients will benefit, but it won't necessarily be you! Beware of anecdotal accounts when it comes to dietary changes as most people are highly subject to power of suggestion and placebo.

Japanese women eat Nato, fermented soybeans, which is very high in K2, and they don't get wrinkles. I started taking vitamin K2 two years ago, a few times a week. I also eat a Green Mediterranean Diet, lift weights 4-5 days a week, and walk 10,000 + steps a day. WOW, my wrinkles have disappeared!!! I have noticed the biggest change from 2 years ago, when I started to take vitamin K2. I have been doing diet and exercise for 6 years ( lost 40 pounds, and have maintained the weight loss over 50!!!). My scale shows my bone mass to be very high, as did a routine bone scan I had..... Women are so overlooked in medical studies, but yet, if vitamin K2 can keep women from breaking a hip, this needs to be recommended...... The focus on processed, low fat, high sugary foods has caused a huge deficiency in vitamin K2 in the diet..... I also blame, the fear of lifting heavy weight in older women that causes their bones to get weak..... If older women only knew that lifting heavy weights can make them look 20-30 years younger, I think more would try it!!!

After reading comments I just realized the many ganglion cysts I had on palms are 90 percent gone. When they were getting bigger they stretched things and caused pains. I started k2 and d3 when the pandemic hit to avoid virus infections.

Sir, this was the first video from your channel that I have watched and am very impressed with the clarity of your exposition especially drawing distinctions between association and causation. I am very interested in the outcome of the study underway. Thank you.

I'm taking K2 and D3 for osteoporosis. I no longer get plaque on my teeth and my heart has stopped pumping hard in my ears every night. I shall get another DXA scan soon.

Hello from Denmark I started giving my husband 180 mg of K2 many years ago. He is a dialysis patient and severe cardiovascular disease. He has not had any blood clots since! I have started taking K2/vit-D along with magnesium malate/citrate to improve osteopenia.

You are really creating great Contest in an understandable and scientifically based form! And you manage to keep IT Shirt and concise! 👍👍👍👍😃

Wifey and I are on a daily regimen of D3, K2 and Mg.

What is missing is the study that showed K2mk7 protected against the degradation of elastin in vascular walls, thus keeping the smooth and flexible. They did this on mice bred to have no k2. Those who were then not supplemented died very quickly from CVD, those supplemented lived normally. The study found that K2mk7 deficiency lead to a rapid loss of elastin. AND it is known that the older you get the less able you are to retain K2mk, and the less the body is able to convert K1 into K2. So people dying from CVD may not be dying from calcification but from stiffened arteries due to loss of elastin. K2 usually has a long half life in the body so once supplemented it can be just maintained. I think the Calcification process Directed by K2 is a natural protective process in the body, not harmful in itself, and necessary, but is a symptom of another larger problem. Halting calcification when it is necessary may not be a good idea - I think that the K2 may in fact be dealing with those other problems, and thus calcification becomes less necessary. So possibly then the rapid loss of elastin as we age maybe cause 'cracks' in artery walls, and require patching up with calcium - K2 slows or protects against this cracking/stiffening - thus less calcification.

Thank you reinforcing my new regime and helping me understand how it all works. After taking a DNA test, I discovered my body has difficulty assimilating magnesium, so after reading an excellent article on boron, and researching any side effects to increasing K-2, I doubled dose of select supplements as follows: Beginning by taking a daily supplemental dose of 1,000 mg of red marine algae calcium, I increased helper nutrients as follows. I increased my marine lichen D3 supplement from 2000 IU to 4000 IU per day. Next, I increased my K-2 (MK-7) supplement from 100 mg to 200 mg per day; and last, but not least, I increased my daily dose of pure Boron supplement from 2mg to 4mg per day to remedy my body’s issues with magnesium. In order to consume better food magnesium, I added coconut water and nuts to the red algae magnesium included in my calcium supplement. What I learned from this video is that my bones will improve themselves by pulling calcium and K-2 out of my arteries to utilize the calcium and K-2 for their own needs. Boron can virtually take over the work of magnesium in individuals with poor magnesium absorption such as myself. I am very pleased to have discovered and created my own formula for bone strength, healthy at age 60, I plan to be taking this combination for the rest of my life.

I have trained myself to have a daily spoonful of Japanese Natto. I know that I will never like the taste, so I chase it with a better tasting food. I also eat aged Parmesan cheese from Europe made from unpasteurized milk. It is delicious. Basically, Vitamin K2 directs calcium to the bones, NOT to the arteries.

I was looking for a healthy vitamin! I had 2 A/fib! Plus I have clogged arteries! Thank you 🙏 for your amazing helping us!!

Congratulations for the high quality video with absolute risk reduction calculations! The best one in KZfaq about K2 Vitamins!

Fasting would one thing to add to help the body heal and remove calcium.

I was on a low dose calcium channel blocker for 6 -7 years but BP started going too low so I got off of it. I just started taking K2 last year but not regularly because I wanted to learn more about it. Now that I’m off my bp meds, I will take it every day. At this point I have no heart disease according to my cardiologist. So hopefully I can keep it that way. I’ve also drastically change my diet to lower carbs and no snacking between meals. Higher good fats like olive oil avocado walnuts. I’m going in the right direction so thank you for the encouraging video.

Thank you for trying to help us, and I hope you continue making the videos.

The one I have is only 100 mcgs. I will take two everyday since I had three stents inserted. Thank you for the very helpful video. 👏👍

I got my CAC score 6 months ago. I started taking daily k2 immediately. I will be getting another CAC test in a month.

Another great proper science driven doctor! So great to see! Insta sub!

Yea, for me and my sister we began k2 and found that she started to get muscles cramps and complained to me, and so after a day I began to cramp, also so I researched what happened, what happened is the k2 pulls calcium out of our muscles and tissues thus causing cramps. And so just reduce the k2 or add calcium at a certain level amount or find the sweet spot dosage. Just be aware of complications of too much k2 and not enough calcium.

The question must be asked: why is calcium ending up in soft tissues? Dr. Schmidt has a plausible answer. Lactic acidosis, a condition brought on by too many carbohydrates and sugars in the diet, causes the body to release calcium from the bones, which is alkaline, to balance the ph. How many elderly women have severe osteoporosis, yet stiff, calcium damaged arteries? I think that the good doctor is on to something.

Thank you so much Doctor for sharing this valuable information with all of us. Much appreciated!

About three months ago my knees was very stiff and i was in a lots of pain,and my knees was swollen aswell,i take a lots of different vitamin,so i started taking k2 and all i can say within 2 weeks my knees stop hurting and the swelling went down,and since then i have not have any pain

Thank you for your scientific paper based presentation

My wife and I use K2 daily, we don't have any cardiovascular health issues but we have noticed that we actually feel better since taking it. Our Dr. said he thinks it is a good preventative vitamin to take since we are getting older.

I eat half a serving of Japanese Natto (1 Tbsp) which equals 150mcg of MK-7 - along with a 5000iu oil cap of D3. To prepare the Natto I simply mix in a chopped green onion, some Dijon mustard and the little soy sauce packet that comes with it. Yummy! I look forward to it daily!

Carrefull, your heart gets stronger.

Hey Nathan it's a shame you stopped making videos, they are hugely informative and... it's rare on youtube, unbiased. The content is rock solid. I hope you will resume. I have watched your videos about vitamin K2 and one thing I would like to get your take on, is whether this vitamine could make a cholesterol plaque that has already calcified (and is therefore stable), into one that becomes unstable, therefore increasing the risk of a heart attack. Others have been asking you about this previously and I have read your answers (all of them), which back then, was that it was indeed a good question (and natto food a better option). In light of the fact that the results of the VitaK-CAC were never released, and the study therefore probably negative, I would like to know if your answer to this question has changed ? And perhaps more importantly, do you still recommend K2 to your patients with high risk of CVD ? I also note that the results of the "Vitamin K2 and D in Patients With Aortic Valve Calcification: A Randomized Double-Blinded Clinical Trial" appear to have been negative. I am now 48 with family history of high cholesterol, my LDL is around 200mg/dl. I am already on a reasonably strick diet although I will eat a good burger once in a while. Four years ago I did a CAC score and it was at that time, 6. So quite low but this places me in the bottom 25% for that age. Since I got this CAC score 5 years ago I started taking 180mg+5000IU of D3 daily, but wonder if I should keep doing this. Would appreciate your view on this. Much love from Hong-Kong. Please come back !

My b.p went from 160/101 to 140/ 85. I definately felt a huge difference after 3 weeks.

Interesting... I take a Vitamin D with K2... from what I understand the K2 helps with the absorption of the D... This is exciting to know that with the genetic heart disease I have both maternal and paternal that this may be helpful with providing nutrition to combat that also.

Great video. You speak clearly on point, responsibly validating data and outcomes of the studies. Thank you very very much. You help.🙏

I have started to the K2 supplement, and my daily energi has increased a lot since.

Actually you can look at the carotid artery thickness and plaque with US both before and after a course of K2 to observe the effects. There is no upper limit on K2 dosing either. So if the atherosclerosis case is severe and there is an significantly increased risk of stroke, 500 mcg K2/MK47 with D3 daily is a good plan, to accelerate the artery clearance.

I also get out in the morning sun for about 10 minutes. I live in Phoenix, AZ, USA. For natural Vitamin D from the sun.

I went from a cac score of 67 to 49 in 2 years taking D and K2.

Thank you for recommending K2 to your patients.

Thank you for taking the time and posting this great information. Great video, to the point and no bs. Love it.

Thank you for this Doc. I take D vitamin a lot so I did need this information because i have heard of people getting kidney stones because of too much vitamin D and not having enough K2 to go a long with the D vitamin. Those studies look promising.

Hello Doctor thank you for sharing and most of all for putting this all together. Good insights I have always believe in causes and what natural ways to assist our body for optimal health

My husband had an angiogram and CAC score and was found to have medium blockage in his arteries. That was about 2 years ago. Right away I researched what we could do about that and we went on a ketogenic diet. He's lost a lot of weight and his blood work had improved last time it was tested, which was about 3 months in. I also give him daily supplements of K2/D3, Magnesium and krill oil, hoping to help clear his arteries. I hope it's working, but he hasn't been retested. I will have to get him to go for another CAC score and find out if there is any improvement. His doctor wanted him on a statin, but he didn't want to. The doctor was impressed by his cholesterol markers at his last test however. His words were "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it! I had my own CAC score test, just after his, with a score of 1.
