I take this drug together with vitamin D3. Note that taking vitamin D3 without vitamin K2 is highly undesirable. I am happy with the drug. If you want to take this drug with D3, this dosage may be sufficient. In the event that you need the therapeutic effect of vitamin K2 itself, choose a different dosage.Important: Vitamin K2 should be used with caution if you are ill with covid 19 or any other diseases associated with increased blood clots! There are studies that show that patients with normal vitamin K2 levels recover faster with covid 19.

There are studies that show that patients with normal vitamin K2 levels recover faster with covid 19. However, vitamin K intake during the illness itself should only be done under medical supervision!Important information about vitamin K2.Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin. Take it with fatty foods. Vitamin K takes part in the metabolism of bone and connective tissue, is responsible for the process of blood clotting. The absorption of vitamin K is reduced in the elderly. The presence of chronic intestinal diseases, taking antibiotics, indirect anticoagulants and other drugs negatively affects the absorption of vitamin by intestinal cells.Why is vitamin K2 needed?Vitamin K is necessary for the proper functioning of vitamin K-dependent proteins, of which there are about 14 in the body. These include blood coagulation factors (VII, IX, X, prothrombin), protein C, protein S, formed in the liver; transmembrane proteins; bone proteins - osteocalcin, MGP. Vitamin K2 plays a cofactor role in the carboxylation reactions of vitamin K-dependent bone proteins.Deficiency of vitamins K1 and K2 leads to prolonged bleeding and a decrease in bone mineral density, which is confirmed by an increase in prothrombin time and an increase in the proportion of undercarboxylated forms of osteocalcin in the blood, respectively.A recent study showed that vitamin K2 supplementation increases tissue insulin sensitivity in healthy young adults by affecting osteocalcin metabolism. Plasma osteocalcin levels are inversely proportional to fasting glucose and 2 hours after exercise. In women and men with an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, the level of osteocalcin was inversely correlated with the mass of adipose tissue and the level of glycated hemoglobin.K2 improves insulin sensitivity through the involvement of vitamin K-dependent osteocalcin, anti-inflammatory properties and hypolipidemic effects.

If you don’t take Vitamin K2 then I suggest you do some research on the topic of bone health. If you can get enough via a considered whole food organic diet then this is best but if not, then supplements are wise. I recommend the Doctor’s Best brand for K2 based on dosage & brand quality. I also take Vitamin D3, Cod Liver Oil capsules (Nordic Naturals) and the Doctor’s Best Vitamin E Tocotrienols along with other daily supplements.

If you are supplementing with vitamin D / D3, do take vitamin K2, magnesium, and zinc as these are important cofactors for the synthesis and absorption of vitamin D. Vitamin K2 is superior to K1 and what’s even better about this brand is it uses MK-7 / menaquinone.What I like about using a separate K2 versus taking a combo of “D3 and K2” is that this K2 dosage is right at 100mcg versus a combo where the K2 is usually at a lower dose.Taking Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2 helps to ensure the calcium transported by the Vitamin D is absorbed by your bones where it's needed, rather than accumulating in deposits in your arteries.Having been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency, I now always ensure I take vitamin D but I equally make sure that I take K2 mag and zinc.I ... MoreIf you are supplementing with vitamin D / D3, do take vitamin K2, magnesium, and zinc as these are important cofactors for the synthesis and absorption of vitamin D.
