In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of vitamin K in the diet, focusing on the distinction between K1 and K2. They highlight that vitamin K2 MK7 is the most bioactive form and emphasize the benefits associated with it. While K1 can be obtained from leafy greens, K2 is found in fermented foods like natto and meats. The speaker suggests that supplementation may be necessary as many people do not consume enough K2 in their diet. They mention that freezing foods destroys vitamin K, but cooking does not affect its levels. The speaker recommends considering vitamin K2 supplementation, especially in conjunction with vitamin D to prevent calcium buildup in arteries. They caution about interactions with blood thinners like warfarin, as excess vitamin K intake can impact their effectiveness.

In this segment of the video, it is discussed that combining vitamin K2 with vitamin D3 allows for higher levels of D3 intake without the risk of toxicity. This combination helps to direct the calcium into the bones, utilizing the benefits of vitamin D without overdosing in the bloodstream. The importance of vitamin K2 in preventing calcification of blood vessels and optimizing calcium usage is highlighted. It is suggested that for the average person, calcium supplementation may not be necessary, and taking vitamin D3 along with K2 may be more beneficial. The role of activating molecules such as Osteocalcin and Matrix GLA protein is emphasized in this process. It is recommended to consult a doctor for personalized advice and monitoring of blood levels to prevent overdosing. The debate over optimal daily intake levels of these vitamins is mentioned, with some individuals reporting adverse effects at higher doses. Magnesium is also noted as an important component in this equation.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of combining Vitamin D3, Magnesium, and Vitamin K2 for optimal health. They explain that Vitamin D requires Magnesium for proper function, and many people are deficient in both nutrients. The speaker personally takes 5,000 units of Vitamin D, 200 milligrams of Magnesium, and 100 micrograms of Vitamin K2 daily. They caution about potential toxicity if these supplements are taken in excessive amounts, especially for Magnesium and Vitamin D. The video also mentions that Vitamin K2 levels can be challenging to measure accurately. Despite the lack of clear guidelines, studies suggest beneficial doses of 90 to 360 micrograms of Vitamin K2. The speaker emphasizes consulting a doctor before starting any supplement regimen. Overall, combining these three nutrients can be very beneficial for health, and they are cost-effective options to consider.
