Has anyone else experienced a blunted mood when dosing K2 (MK4) higher than 5mg? I pretty much become emotionless and careless, have less empathy.
It took me awhile to figure it out as I tend to take several supplements. I do notice a reduction in anxiety from K2, but too much throws me to the...
I started a new experiment for boosting testosterone using a few things which include the scrotal application of vitamin K2 (thanks to Haidut for starting a thread about it long ago).
I didn't expect much but actually got a very interesting boost in libido...a different kind that I haven't...
True K2 the best Mk4 & Mk7 on the market today
Cis and trans isomers of the vitamin menaquinone-7: which one is biologically significant?
This would explain any brands of K2 that gave people no effects. I've had success with both Thorne and LifeExtension.
Nested Naturals, a pure MK7...
Hi, everyone. I read on the forum about cypro having a vitamin K2-like effect on calcification, and I saw reports of people who took vitamin k2 who got, through the anti-calcification effect, a larger jaw. My question is, does cypro have the same effect? Could someone who used it report?
A very interesting study, not only because of its obvious social implications but also because it confirms the anabolic effects of the vitamin D/K combination, as well as the likely androgenic effects of vitamin D. I could not help but pronounce the D/K combo in my head as "dee-k" :): Another...
Another great study demonstrating both the therapeutic potential of vitamins as well as the metabolic/redox nature of cancer. As I mentioned in some of my podcasts, vitamin K2 (MK-4) is currently in clinical trials for treating/preventing a number of different cancers, especially liver cancer...
Abstract
Vitamin K2 binds to the intranuclear receptor SXR and results in the activation of a plethora of genes, both directly and indirectly. Among these genes are important biological markers of cellular characteristics or features (also known as cell phenotypes), as well as a set of molecules...
In addition to its role in bone, brain, and endocrine health now we can add eyes to the list of tissues/organs that may benefit from vitamin K as well. Unfortunately, most studies are still trying to study vitamin K from the point of view of osteocalcin and carboxylation, which only explains a...
This research comes from a commercial spin-off of Maastricht University in the Nederlands. Authors in this group seem interested in vascular calcification. Here, the interest was in osteoblast-specific protein osteocalcin (OC)and metabolsim.. They chose to use a not-huge dose on MK-7 rather than...
Hello there. Do you guys think this brand of k2 is legit? Vitamin K2 Menatetrenone Mk-4 15mg 90 Capsules
Been using 15-45mg a day for the past 2 months. I read somewhere on this forum that vitamin E interacts or depletes k2 so how do i work this out? Thank You
Many people use supplements like DHEA, pregnenolone, and progesterone with the goal of raising their androgens and lowering estrogen. While this approach works for raising tissue levels of steroids, it takes anywhere in the range of 6-12 months for this increase to be reflected in blood levels...
Good day all,
I would like to hear from anyone who's had first hand knowledge of the subject matter. I'v seen on the internet that a lot of chatter about how K2- Mk4 and Hormone intake primarily progesterone shows promise.
Appreciate some feedback.
Thank you

Does anyone know (or is able to venture an educated guess) on whether or not you need to swallow the vitamin K2 in order for it to have an effect on endotoxin?
I've been rubbing the K2 into my gums but am now thinking I might be better off putting the drops in a liquid and drinking it in order...
I did some shopping today at the healthfood store because I'm almost out of my Thorne Research Vitamin K2. I don't feel like paying $100+ for another 1oz bottle, and all the supps in the store have only 100mcg (1/10th of a mg) and charge like 30 bucks! I've realized today how companies are...
Vitamin D and K have a primary role in bone metabolism, together with calcium and the androgenic hormones. Ray has written about the importance of these vitamins not only for bone health but also for insulin sensitivity and accelerating deactivation of estrogen. Many of these beneficial effects...
Over the last year a number of people on the forum asked me to release a vitamin K2 supplement as an alternative to the popular (but expensive) Thorne K2 supplement. So, I finally got around to delivering on my promise. Kuinone is a liquid dietary supplement with menatetrenone (MK-4) dissolved...
I had bought 5g of K2 from someone reliable. It is a yellow waxy substance. I was taking it by taking a tiny amount and eating it. But apparently that had little or no effect.
My teeth and jaw started hurting.
Today I put the K2 in a bit of oil. Vitamin E oil in the morning, MCT oil in the...
I have some K2 MK4, and some progesterone powder, DHEA sulfate, and I want to compound these and make them easy to use at home. Any guides you know of to do this? Chemistry recipes basically?
Thanks!
