I was wondering about K2 and I found out from this article that we make in our large intestines. I knew we made it, I just didn't know whidh form. It also talks about calcification of the artieries as you mentioned, b/c of a lack of vitamin K.
This form of vitamin k is also available in some foods.
I am going to have to take some notes about the other things you cite and look into them, too. |
Thanks Starfish that link is very good but a little hard to read.
I do want to point out that there is a BIG difference from getting enough Vit K to prevent illness/death (the minimum daily amount) and taking a LOT for a therapeutic(Hopefully) benefit.
The Super K1 & K2 I take from LEF contains a LOT of K1 and K2.

My second link is a concise summary of the benefits of K1 and K2. Note the advantage of K2 supplementation.

I MUST lower the calcification levels in my arteries.
Take all this stuff to a doctor who wants to give an opinion of these matters.
