hi guys i recently had a question about

vitamin k2 and i wanted to create a

short video to give you the essence of

what this amazing vitamin can do it’s

different than vitamin k1 which has to

do with clotting k2 is all about the

transportation of calcium okay from the

wrong place into the correct place so if

you’re deficient in vitamin k2

potentially you can get calcification of

the arteries your arteries become very

very stiff and of course that’s going to

lead to high blood pressure so

calcium builds up in the vascular system

okay it could also build up in the

joints as arthritis bursitis tendinitis

all the itis

so again

k2 transports calcium from the soft

tissues into the bone and in the bone it

actually affects two cells the

osteoclast and the osteoblast the

osteoblast has everything to do with

building the bone up so

k2 stimulates the building of bone and

inhibits the breakdown of bone that’s

what the osteoclast does okay

now

vitamin k2 is a fat soluble vitamin so

it comes from fat if you’re in a low fat

diet or if you’re

taking statins for example that blocks

cholesterol

then you could be deficient

which is pretty bizarre when you’re

taking a statin because what happens

you’re going to cut down cholesterol and

you’re not going to get the fat soluble

vitamins to protect the heart and you

get this calcium buildup but that’s okay

because you’re on a calcium channel

blocker for your high blood pressure

doesn’t make sense so vitamin k2 is a

fat cyber vitamin and you would get it

from grass-fed meats

dairy like cheese

eggs egg yolks

and also something called nato which is

a vegetarian source which is fermented

soybean it’s from japan

doesn’t taste good but you might be able

to get it into a pill now the version

that i would recommend would be the mk-7

version not the mk-4 okay so you would

look for k2 mk-7

100 micrograms is the normal amount that

someone would take you would want to

take it with your food because if you’re

consuming fat because you’re on the keto

that’s good because it’ll be absorbed

nicely but you also want to add vitamin

d3 with it okay because this is a fat

cyber vitamin these two work together in

the transportation of calcium

now as far as the ratios from d3 to k2 i

would do 10 000 iu’s of d3

to every 100 microgram of mk7 so if you

have a really big problem maybe you’re

going to 3x or 4x the amounts the ratios

so you take 40 000 ius and 400

micrograms of

vitamin k2 or if you have a mild problem

just take one and one of each okay

so i hope that cleared up any confusion

and i’ll see in the next video

hey guys a lot of you already have my

book some of you don’t but this new
