How much vitamin K do you need? Some can get enough vitamin K from the diet, in foods such as leafy green veggies, fermented foods (such as hard cheeses, kimchi, natto, etc.), and from supplements; a therapeutic dose is suggested to be between 180-200 mcg MK7 (a form of vitamin K2) per day from diet and supplements
Even smaller amounts of MK7 were found to be helpful
What should the ratio be? It will vary individually according to the amount of vitamin D needed to reach the target level in the blood
How much helps heart health? Diet studies have shown that people eating even small amounts of vitamin K (from foods such as hard cheese), even at a dose of 32 mcg per day, was enough to reduce arterial calcification and risk of death by CVD by 50%
for every 10 mcg MK7, there was a reduction in coronary heart disease risk of 9%
eating foods high in MK7 (Vitamin K2) see heart healthy benefits!
Make sure to get enough magnesium as well! Need to make sure the other key nutrients for calcium metabolism are also there to help keep the balance; magnesium helps prevent calcification and is essential to proper vitamin D absorption and metabolism
all nutrients work together in the body
