Anyone notice a difference in their health from eating vitamin K2 rich foods?

I don't plan on buying the book however I did watch a few youtube videos (lol) of nutritionists and doctors touting the benefits of K2 and how it works. In short, in order to for you body to properly absorb calcium you not only need vitamin D but also K2. Most people are K2 deficient in their diets.

But I can't tell if people are feeling more healthy because they are eating vitamin K2 rich foods (like Kifer, grass fed beef and butter) or are they simplely feeling more healthy because they are eating right. Prolly a combo of both.

No list of what those foods are?

Just googled it. Wiki has a nice long list: wiki.

I thought K2 was banned because people were smoking it and eating people's faces off.

Nope. I have to avoid vitamin K. Can't eat "green leafy" vegetables like spinach, collard or turnip greens, Brussel sprouts, or broccoli because they're high in vitamin K.

Vitamin "K" generally refers to K1. That's the vitiman needed to work with calcium and hemoglobin for boold clotting. I'm talking about K2. K2 is a variant however does the job of moving calcium to your bones and teeth (where it needs to be) instead of depositing on the walls of your arteries and veins.

Did you have AVR or another heart related issue?

That is too bad. Food like Broccoli has the good kind of calcium in it too.

You often need vitamins in combos with other certain vitamins to get the most out of them. Magnesium is another heavily underused key vitamin if not mistaken.

Fwiw, a neuro doc I saw suggested k2, taken along with d3, for disc issues. It isn't a cure, but made a noticeable difference for me after a while.
