In this blog post, I discuss Vitamin K2 and osteoporosis. Specifically, I cover
1/. The scientific research into the role of Vitamin K in improving bone health.
2./ I also list the foods high in Vitamin K2,
3./ provide the current recommended Vitamin K2 dosage for osteoporosis,
4./ discuss Vitamin K2 deficiency, differences between Vitamin K1 and Vitamin K2, and
5./ tell you about a Vitamin K2 food source rock star.
Here is a summary of the key points of this article:
1/. Some, but not all research, demonstrates that people with osteoporosis can use Vitamin K2 to improve both bone density and bone strength.
2/. Vitamin K2 is more effective than Vitamin K1 for improving bone health.
3/. The main sources of Vitamin K2 are animal products and fermented foods. A Japanese fermented dish called Nattō is particularly abundant in Vitamin K2.
4/. Unless you are actively increasing your Vitamin K2 levels through diet or supplementation, you are likely deficient and have inadequate levels for your bone and heart health needs.
5/. Vitamin K2 MK7 dosage recommendation is 150 to 180 µg per day. This is based on the dosage used in most recent research studies.
6/. Recommended daily dosage for Vitamin K2 MK4 is 45 mg in Asia and Japan. Other jurisdictions do not provide guidance.
7/. Consult with your physician and a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist before starting a Vitamin K2 protocol. This advice is particularly appropriate for people taking anticoagulants.

I discuss the role Vitamin K, and particularly Vitamin K2, plays in bone health and osteoporosis. This is a pretty complex topic and hard to cover in a single video. My blog post covers the topic in more detail. I encourage you to read it. Thanks. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
What is you are prone to kidney stones, breast calcifications etc.. what dosage D3&K2?
I realize I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Luciano Harold Flixportal :)
@Milo Royce Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !
@Luciano Harold no problem =)
Thank you. I have osteoporosis and was prescribed vitamin D3 and calcium, but as a result of my own research, I discovered how beneficial vitamin K2 and magnesium are for osteoporosis in getting the calcium to my bones, and I have been taking these in addition to calcium and vitamin D3 for quite a while now and have began to see improvements in my bone density which was not evident with just osteoporosis drugs, calcium and vitamin D3. These added supplements, along with apple cider vinegar also helped to remove calcium from my breast tissue and shoulder, which should not have been there in the first place.
Cuanto calcio tomas....?ya que se dice que no es bueno tomar calcio..!!
Take boron too.
Thanks Margaret for sharing lots of info on Vit K2! Thanks so much for the exercise program too.
THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGEABLE INFORMATION AND FOR THE FOOD WE SHOULD HAVE.🙏👏👨💻❤️
You are so welcome
@@margaretmartinpt MY PLEASURE, MRS MARTIN.
Great info, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Two years ago, my DEXA scores were thrown out because they showed too much improvement. I had osteoporosis at the time and the reading showed that I had moved back to osteopenia. I met with the dr. and told her that I had been supplementing with K1 and K2 for two years and felt that was why I had such improvement. She didn’t believe me. Drugs for osteoporosis are very dangerous and don’t work. I did have surgery to fix an area of my jaw that had deteriated fron taking Fosamax.
Hi Kristy. I am sorry to hear about your experience and the situation you find yourself in. I recommend that my clients inform themselves when it comes to important decision, especially regarding pharmaceutical intervention for osteoporosis. I encourage people to read my posts on medications, for example ... melioguide.com/osteoporosis-treatment/how-long-can-you-take-prolia/
Kristy, just wanted to tell you that I was talked into, by my dr.,
to try Fosomax for my osteoporosis. After just 1 and a half week my jaw bone began hurting bad. The pharmacist said to stop it immediately. My dr. said to just give it awhile. A second dr said stop it now. I did.
I now take D3 and K1 and Boron from listening to many Wonderful doctors here. I have Never had any luck with pharmaceuticals, and will always try natural first. I'm 74 and no perscriptions so far. Hope to keep it up!
@@janicecrose376 K2 is far better than K1 for osteoporosis. I take both. There are books out about the value of K2. Also, Google it. Kristy
@@Kristyrp Thank you. I made a typo...i do take K2. I love to read about it and want to learn more about it. It's so sad how we never got a good education from dr's on Real needs. I'm 74 and was told to take 1500 mg calcium. One told me D may help...not even D3!! Do u take calcium? I'm afraid too, actually.
@@janicecrose376 I was advised by an alternative medicine dr. not to take calcium so I don’t. There have been many recent studies about taking larger does of vitamin D. It is recommended to achieve 40-60, which reduced breast cancer by 80%. My level is 70 and I take 5000 a day. I am 70 rears old. Kristy
Thank you. This is just the information I was hoping to find. It is my understanding also that it is imperative that one exercise in order for the calcium to be absorbed....
Yes explained well. Honored Dr 4 sharing case studies 4 10rs
It’s also important to take K2 with Vitamin D or D3. The K2 is a helper to Vitamin D. 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏻✝️☝🏻
Thank you for your comment. Please read my comprehensive blog post on Vitamin K2. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
In the beginning, wasn’t the vitamin D3 helper to calcium for bones?
D3 and k2 in the form of mk7 for anti aging benefits
@@khawajamazhar9188 it was,now they're talking about magnesium,D3 and k2
Consumer Lab says to take 3 hours apart from D3 as the two oil soluble vitamins can compete. Anyone know about this?
Thank you for this, Margaret! I have yet to meet a physician who even knows about MK7!
See Dr. Sean Hashmi's videos on K2.
Please comment on the contribution of boron supplementation in dealing with bone problems ... research indicates a widespread deficiency in populations.
I wish I would of known this 15 yrs ago…
In U.S. all doctors are clueless because they are not taught about vitamins or supplements, I've had them tell me that.

Raw cheeses like Gruyere or certified parmesan is a yummy way to get calcium and K2 in a perfect ratio. Thanks for the video.
Yes, but cheese. Too good to eat in moderation. :-)
@@antoniaz I know it's hard but moderation is better than none. 😀
Brie is best ❤️
I've read that Gouda is supposed to be good too
@@lisadixon5886 Graviera cheese from Crete Island is the best source for calcium!
I supplement with 300 mcg of K2 (mk7) per day. I also add 3-6 mg of Boron for extra bone density. Having enough Magnesium and D3 real important too.
soupper soulger be careful with too much K2. Dr Ford Brewer in his CZcams channel explains removing too much calcium from arteries may loosen plaque that are covered with calcium, which can lead to a stroke.
This is all great information...thanks.
ME TOO with the magnesium! But NOT the cheap crap! and NOT the Chinese sourced crap! Magnesium GLYCINATE! (HEY spend and extra 10 bucks! ya know?) D3? Absolutely! WHY the hell NOT?
Dougie Quick help
Yes! Boron too!
Thank you
You're welcome
Question: does Turmeric act as a blood thinner? I have heard it does. And how does or would it react with K2?
K2 comes from, natto, liver, fermented foods, free range eggs, chicken and some , grass fed butter.K1, comes from the leafy greens
AND just BUY the pills and consume every day? Why NOT? I sure DO for years now! 100 micrograms a day....mk7 and mk4 K2...Why not? You can argue all you want for better diet but WHY NOT supplement ALSO?? I sure DO since listening to the pros singing the praises!
Well now they're saying if you increase the amount of D3 you take for example if you have osteoporosis then you are supposed to increase the K2 amount at least according to dr. Eric Berg
And Gouda cheese
Very informative ...thank you
@@dougiequick1 ..because some people have bad reactions to supplements. There are always fillers in the supplements and not one soul will give a complete list of what ingredients are in the supplements.
Thanks
Hi from Damascus and good luck . 👍
Thank you! You too!
Enjoyed your paper! We switch my daughters diet. She can’t eat dairy or cheese. I’ll look into other grass fed grass finished liver and natto.
Thanks
My mother is 83 years old and suffers hard from osteoporosis. Her body has broken down to the point where she can't even walk. So much pain. She has to take Percocet. But at times that pain goes from a 10 to like 7 after taking the Percocet. Are there any better treatments out there available for her to get to help with the pain
What is a good brand of k2 m7?
I have been told that my Osteoporosis is very concerning
That is thanks to my GP who was advised to put me on supplements or injections over 4 yrs ago but she never told me
I have been taking Vit D3 for years and K2 in the MK7 format
However I have just bought some more K2
It is 200 micrograms with no fillers etc
However how much should I be taking because the Consultant told me I had the bones of a much older person which is very concerning as I live alone and have lost all my family now as I am 58
Thank you
Thank u very much madam...
uptil now i was knowing.. osteoporosis is bcoz of calcium deficiency...but now more detail i came to know about K2..or co factor...
Thank u once again
Glad to hear that
What about magnesium? Is it true that D3 can deplete magnesium?
Wifey and I have been supplementing with D3 (250 mcg) & K2 (1,500 mcg).
Her most recent blood test revealed a D concentration of 42 ng/mL.
Thanks.
I bet your dosages are the other way around … 1500 IU of D3 and 250 mcg of K2. 😉
@@marylaborde6151 250 mcg = 10000ui so I am sure he has it right. I took 10000ui with 100mcg of K2 for several years but now take a combo of 5000ui and 800mcg. Which I am sure will maintain at as very good level.
I’m confused about something else as well…… when my dog accidentally got ahold of some rat poison she started bleeding out the nose and mouth. The vet told us to give her vitamin k to help her blood clot. In this video, you had said vit K might enhance blood thinners, meaning make them work even better at thinning the blood (or more blood thinning would occur)….. did I understand right? And if so, why did my vet recommend giving vit K to my dog to help thicken it? [Thanks. Just trying to understand]
I got a question for you , what is dosage levels, i heard is bad for liver and causes leg cramps , muscle sifiness. Could u please clarify thanks
Hi Pradeep. I address these questions in my comprehensive blog post. When it comes to your specific needs, you should consult a licensed nutritionist. Thanks. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
Thanks for viewing
She is 100% right I tried vitamin K2 that the doctor recommended in my arthritis went away other parts of my body felt good my eyesight is much better now I would suggest getting it and trying it as soon as possible but get a well-made brand 👍😀
How many months you took and what was the dosage 100 mg or more?
@@cas9205 I think is mcg. not mg.
@@cas9205 look into the brand by Dr Eric Berg. You can buy it on Amazon. It’s the correct dosage of D3, K2 and magnesium.
You mentioned kale and spinach but I've read that these are high oxalate which is bad for bones so I choose arugula and bok choy instead. Shouldn't we be considering oxalates in our choice of green vegetables?
Everything in moderation.
Kale is not a high oxalate food. Spinach, chard, and beet greens in high amounts are the ones I've heard about.
I've just started supplementing with K2, and the packet says MK7, from fermented chickpeas, not soy.
Happy to have an alternative that may not have existed five years ago.
Lesley Vivien i guess you mean MK-7 and not MK-47😊
@@mariafe6771
Oh bugger. Yes to MK7. There, I nearly did it again! I blame all the years in Bedfordshire, with all the MK40s postcodes. :(
Thank you. :)
I've corrected it now. Do you think anyone will notice? ;)
Hi Leslie! No worries it happens sometimes🙏
@@mariafe6771 TY, it does. I can't type MK without a 4. Just like when I want to type before, it often turns into Bedford. :(
Is there a reason that I can't tolerate vitamin k2 mk7 in supplements? I seem to get alot of chest pain when I've tried it and I've looked online and see alot of other people, complain of the same thing. I've not tried Vitamin k2 mk4, just because the vitamin mk7 was so scary. It was definitely from the mk7, as I stopped it and the symptoms went away over a day and returned when I tried it again.
I recommend you ask a licensed nutritionist that question.
I'm the same. I'm having more success just taking the K2 every other day.
Short info: for vitamin VK7 and silicon!
Parsley fresh,
Basil(dry)
Barley
Green sprout from barley.
Water with silicon rocks.
Hi. I think you mean "Vitamin K2 MK-7". Here is a list of foods that fit the bill. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/#vk2-sources
Good info. Just wondering if you know of a brand of K2 that is not made from soy? I'm so glad you brought that up, because I do try to only get soy-free supplements, and what do you know, my Country Life K2 supplements do contain soy.
Sorry. I cannot recommend a brand as per your request. I encourage you to read my post on Vitamin K2. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
@@margaretmartinpt is this D3&K2 safe for those prone to kidney stones and most other calcifications, breast etc? If so Can you recommend dosage ? Thank you
Brie cheese has k2 in it
I buy my k2 and 7D from Hsn soy free.Andrew lesser
A few yrs ago i had calcium deposits in my shoulder. Talk about painful! K2 directs the calcium away from tissues into bone. Happy to take it. I thought like everyone that taking extra calcium for arthritis etc was best. Not so much.
@@tommorrow1931 you can buy it at any pharmacy already in recommended doses no higher. Lots of brands make it so mine is 120 mcg/1000 ui.
Wondering how much higher than 180 mcg I should go (up to 200 or 300 mcg) and whether it is better to get the MK7 from natto or fermented chickpeas. Seems like natto has been studied the most.
When you say fermented…. Sprouting does not count as fermented, right?
Sprouting is different
In Malaysia can't find it can help me I have finger join pain an bodyache I try nerve tablet nothing work..can't take calcium cause earlier got kidney stone
I recommend you discuss this with your physician. Thank you.
Doc. Can I take k2 and d3 if I have raised hldl ,LDL,low HDL, high b.p plus I am 48 with osteoarthritis.plz I need your suggestion
Hello. Thanks for your comments. I encourage you to consult with your physician or a nutritionist on this question.
What the daily dosage for a supplement?
I cover this in my post: melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
How much k2 is in sauerkraut?
The dietary sources you mention are good sources of K1, not K2. The best dietary sources for K2 appear to be fermented foods (natto, some cheeses, sauerkraut, for example).
Hi John. Thank you. I have provided more detail on K2 in my blog post. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
The green leafy veggies you mentioned contain K1 and it is uncertain how efficient the body is in converting K1 to K2. Natto is the best food source of K2.
Thank you. I clarify things in more detail on my post (as well as mention natto as a source of Vitamin K2). melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
But Natto is hard to take, in my experience. Thank god for supps.
Have you ever eaten Natto and if so how did you like it?
I LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL MARGERET 😘💝
I have a slight neck hump on my upper back just did some research and i think it is to do with osteoporosis, will k2, d3 and calcium fix this problem and how much intake do you need for each one per day?
I would recommend not taking calcium as a supplement. Vitamin D3 and K2/MK7 will put calcium into you bones. Taking a calcium supplement could cause heart attacks later in your life.
Thank you for your comment. Regarding your neck hump I suggest you look at my video on Dowager Hump: czcams.com/video/Iedy5oM9TI4/video.html
Regarding your usage of Vitamin K2, D3 and calcium, I recommend the following resources.
For more on K2 and D3: melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
For more on calcium: czcams.com/video/ehxKfZUDvXQ/video.html
Thank you. This is discussed in this video. czcams.com/video/ehxKfZUDvXQ/video.html
@@carlameaders4352 we need calcium. The reason why calcium cause heart attack is because we do not take K2 and D3 to remove calcium from heart tissue, arteries to put to bones.
@@ThuLe-eh1xe yes, D3 is converted to calcium. K2/MK7 ensures that calcium goes to the bones and not coat the arteries.
Vitamin K found in kale, spinach, green leafy vegetables such as Chinese cabbages, soy, olive oil, some fish and eggs. 180mg per day.
You keep saying "Vitamin K" you need to distinguish between K and K2 they have different properties you dont get to the point until later in the video.
Hi James. You are correct. Thank you for pointing this out.
James Rhoades yes
Yes I thought that.some people will think just K.
I have just ditched calcium supplements and begun K2 ( along with Vit D and magnesium) . My questions are will any unwanted calcium in my arteries be depleted and should I be taking a soy derivative with hypothyroidism?
Hi Carol. I address this question in my comprehensive blog post. When it comes to your specific needs, you should consult a licensed nutritionist. Thanks. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
I’m so glad that you did this. You will be much healthier.Don’t know the answers to your last two questions.
How long before it shows its effect
It is not a quick fix. Look at how many years it to get osteoporosis. My personal experience was at least 2 years.
I can wait 2 years been on them 6months.
Im taking Vitamin D 3 and Calcioral 500gm. Ive been reading up how the calcium might be building up in arteries. I have oestopenea so I need the calcium. Should I add K2 MK7? I do excercise everyday. Thank you Margaret.

Need to be more specific here you are supposed to say K2 no only K because both are totally different to each other
Thank you. Good point. I address your comments here in my post: melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
Hi Margaret. You are saying the right thing in the wrong way. Guess you still don't understand the Vitamin K Phenomena too well. 'Vitamin K' is a combination of K1 + K2. In this video you are trying to explain about K2...only one part of the Vitamin K Combo that is involved in proper Calcium Metabolism. You are saying 'Vitamin K'...'Vitamin K'. Its not 'Vitamin K'...but the Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 activates not just one...but two very important proteins in the blood and both are equally involved in Calcium Metabolism. One of them is 'Matrix GLA Protein' (MGP in short) and the other one is 'Osteocalcin Protein' (OCN in short). You need both proteins...MGP and OCN for the Calcium transport from the blood and into your bones and teeth. MGP binds all the extra Calcium from the soft tissues...blood vessels...arteries and hands over to the OCN...who then takes that Calcium and binds to the bones and teeth.
Do you say that we should take both K1 and k2?
I don’t think you listened to her words.
I agree wholeheartedly with vitamin K2. I also wanted to point out that if you want very strong bones....you need to have enough progesterone. I take progesterone as a cream and I've taken anywhere from 20 mg a day to as much as 140 mg a day (and just so you know....men do need progesterone....doctors won't tell men that). Often doctors also lie to menopausal women and don't tell them that progesterone is important for good bone health.....and worse than that....standard doctors will prescribe to women knock off hormones which make things worse for you bone wise and hormonally.....synthetic designer hormones like MPA, levonorgestrel and spironolactone are some of the worst endocrine disrupting drugs out there and they will probably guarantee osteoporosis and other very bad side effects in older aged women)
K2 with Mk7 and mk4
If you want vitamin k2 and d3 save yourself the hassle... RAW DAIRY not pasteurized. Pasteurized will strip you of micronutrients. Raw dairy has all enzymes still active and all the micronutrients
I encourage you to read my blog post on Vitamin K2. I think you will find this helpful. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/

Magnésio vitamina k2 vitamina d 3
Thank you.
Spinach and kale contain vitamine K, not K2.
Thank you for pointing this out. That is correct. I have a list of foods with K and K2 in my blog post. I encourage you to read it: melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/#vk2-sources
You are right, maybe she is talking about K1
Most important is calcium. Osteoporosis is caused by calcium deficiency. My aging mom has it and we found out she is deficient of calcium after a lab test
We need K2 to absorb all this calcium that some are taking. Don’t want it to become plaque in our arteries.
Calcium in the bones and Ca in the blood are different ranges. I have normal blood Ca, but I still show up with osteoporosis. Also no thyroid/parathyroid issues. In order to maintain organs like the heart, muscles functioning properly the blood takes Ca from the bones. In other words, the bones are a storage room for the blood to deliver to other organs and cells. Maintaining the appropriate CA consumption along with D3, Mg, K2, and other nutrients at the correct level for our body ensures that we do not run out of bone-building material and storage.
I am finding Calc mag d3 k2mk7 O3 is a turn around 4me. Put take the Calc alone. Why lessens absorp of above. Take 2-3 or more hrs b4 above.
Totally incorrect. I have very high blood calcium levels and had severe osteoporosis. So taking calcium is a horrible idea. Take adequate levels of vitamin D but more importantly is K2. And MK-7 ultimately converts to MK-4. MK-4 much better supplement.
You never gave the dosage.
To sketchy for me , Not enough correct informatiom for someone to under stand . I have been on d3 and mk7 for a few years but this was twaddle .
Hi Yvonne. Sorry to hear that you felt that this fell short of your expectations. I encourage you to read my blog post on Vitamin K2. I think you will find this helpful. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
@@margaretmartinpt thank you for your reply will read your blog on k2 .
The more i see these videos, the more apparent it is that doctors know how to keep you healthy they just don't tell us how to.
They r glorified drug dealers who r heavily controlled by big pharma, sad but true, ur health MUST become ur responsibility, ive dug on my own then confirmed w naturopath, much much better results!!!
All sounds too complex, just eat properly 💪
I agree that "eat properly" is important. Bone health, however, requires a specific diet that includes essential nutrients, K2 being one of them. You might find my blog post on this informative. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-nutrition/vitamin-k2-for-osteoporosis/
I have severe Osteoporosis which was originally diagnosed in the 80's but I was never properly educated or treated for this disease. I'm now 65 & paying for not being given the proper treatment. I'm finding it challenging to find info. I have tried 4 of 5 Rx which consists of daily shots in my belly, oh boy. Prolia, deathly allergic to, Forteo, didn't do anything can't remember the names of rest. Compression Fractures in my spine, which also curves to the right. Chronic Pain requiring more shots in my back, pain in hips which are no longer the same length due to hip surgery, broke right hip, shattered left hip & right foot. If I break another bone, they can't fix it, scary to live with that. PS: when I was growing up here in America in Foster homes (don't know about you) we simply could not afford healthy food.
Glenda Roland There’s a lot of publicity about this Moringa tree?
@@glendaroland4190 That sounds just awful. I found an Endocrinologist with a bone specialty. She offered Tymlos which is a synthetic parathyroid hormone that enhances bone formation, rather than some other meds which stop bone loss but don't help stimulate new bone. She also recommended the Meeks Program for exercise. In your situation I would definitely find a PT with Ostoporosis specialty to help guide you through exercise as able.
You can’t get enough K2 from food except from fermented soy called Natto, whose taste has been described as disgusting.
Synthetic vitamin k can be very toxic.
Thanks.

need to collect data on patients that have been taking k2 daily for years ....WHO is tracking this shit??
About 6 years ago on NPR radio they were talking about the importance of K2 and I guess if you could find that report or some studies from back 6 or 7 years ago at least that might give you more answers although maybe there have been better studies more recently .
But I think it was Weston Price who had traveled world and discovered something very strange about the eskimos . He couldn't figure out why they didn't seem to have cavities and how they were actually able to grow back broken teeth ! I'm pretty sure I have the name right when I say Weston Price.... I'm fairly certain he is the one who figured out the reason they were able to grow back teeth is because of all the healthy fats they were consuming through the various fish and whale blubber..... from what I recall he is the one who discovered vitamin K2 which is in your healthy fats .
Please look it up if you find the time . And then there are a few people who documented and showed them being able to grow back a cracked and broken tooth by doing a lot of bone broth and vitamin K2.... and a few other things
Thanks
