    Vitamin K2 (MK-4) May Be A Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis

    The study found very positive effects on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using MK-4 but not K1. The dosage were on the high end, and the human equivalents would be 1.5mg/kg and 7mg/kg for the two groups. The beneficial effects on RA were highly dose-dependent. This is yet another study that hints the...

    Vitamin K2 lowers blood pressure

    I know this is just a single case study but it seems to confirm Peat's recommendations to take vitamin K2 to lower blood pressure. The dosage used was sort of low (100 micrograms), which tells me it was probably MK-7 that was used and not MK-4. Either way, something to keep in mind for people...

    Vitamin K2 Directly Inhibits New Estrogen Synthesis

    There are some studies on vitamin K2 (MK-4) being aromatase inhibitor and also a study showing in higher doses it increased testosterone levels. This study shows that vitamin K2 (MK-4) directly inhibits the enzyme responsible for the conversion of DHEA into estrogen, so maybe adding some vitamin...

    Vitamin K2 Spares A?

    I've often wondered how could it be possible that some people seem to need very extreme doses of vitamin A to not get skin symptoms. Dr. Peat mentioned that when he worked in the sun he used 100,000 IU daily, a very hard amount to get from nature. Now I'm conjecturing that a nutritional...

    I found the analysis of vitamin K2 in various cheeses

    Its an analysis that was done in Finland, but the suprise is they found Gouda to be poor in K2??? Its seems it depends a lot on the manufacturing process? http://www.fineli.fi/topfoods.php?compi ... 0g&lang=en Its seems that relying on foods is risky.

    Anyone Not Supplementing K But Relying On Foods Only?

    Sorry if this has been asked already. I did a couple searches and didn't see the same topic. I went through a bottle of K2 when I first started this woe, even though it was a tiny amount of K in each capsule. Now I don't take any K. Instead, I get some through greens (spinach, beet, cabbage...

    Carlson K2 Or Thorne D3&K2?

    I cannot seem to make up my mind what to buy. Carlson has a cellulose filler (why cant they put potato starch or something else) but the reviews on iherb and amazon are better. I dont have the money for the Thorne 15mg drops. If I took the Thorne D3&K2 200 mcg drops and wanted to get 2 mg K2 I...

    Supplementing K2 Less Than Every Day

    I want to try supplementing vitamin K2 in small doses. Thorne's K2 seems like a good choice but 1 drop is already 1 mg a day, much higher than the RDA. Therefore, I was thinking about using 2 drops a week. I was wondering if the K2 stays effective long enough...

    Few months ago, I asked RP what kind of supp would be good for people with IBD and he told me to take higher amount of vitamin K ( The brand he recommended me was Life Extension and Carlson). So I started to take the LEF brand but I always had difficulty digesting it as I got few burps after...

    Your Vitamin K2 Experience

    Many people take vitamin K2 to offset the blood-thinning effects of aspirin. However, K2 seems to have some benefits in its own right. It reverses calcification of the arteries in rats. Danny Roddy has a recent blog post that suggests that calcification of the arteries could be a cause of...

    Vitamin K1 Vs. K2 And How Much To Take With Aspirin?

    I see references all around about Peat saying to take vitamin K to offset aspirins thinning of the blood. However, it never says Vitamin K1 or K2, it just says Vitamin K. I see people saying they take Vitamin K2, but I thought K2 was more for bone health, and K1 is more for clotting factor...
