Hi jackD. I checked my calcium, Vitamin D and K supplement pill and it is vitamin K1 that I have in this pill, 40 micrograms, and I take 3 a day at each meal.

The daily suggested amount of Vitamin K is 120mcg. So that level is okay for me.

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.

I found my old biochem book and I will have to see if it has any mention of some of these things.

I am taking a rest, so I am not researching for a few days.
