This thread was originally in the EDS Lounge area and is far too important to have people miss it as much fewer people visit that forum. And K2 is very much skin related.

Bumping this amazing thread. The most important thread EVER on EDS IMO. It's not a question of if Vitamin K2 will be the next huge talked about vitamin like D3 has been for some time now, it's when. Likely a number of years from now. Yes it's talked about, but your neighbor next door has no idea. I've been taking it since late 2008. I've seen it before with things like Melatonin, DHEA, D3. The science comes out, but the general public is not fully aware of it till many years later. You think competition for big Pharma has anything to do with it?$$$$$$ Of course it does.

What I would encourage everyone to do is first read this long thread. Hey it's not like your reading the monster Dermarolling thread.
Then do your own research. Not taking Vitamin K2 along with important co-factors like D3, Magnesium (not the Oxide form),boron, Vitamin A (Careful not to take too much...Beta-Carotene in your supp is perfect) is too costly a mistake for you and those you love. A HUGE and I mean HUGE mistake is all the people taking calcium supps alone with no K2. Don't believe me? Do the research.

I believe MK4 is likely the most important of the 2 due to the fact that activator X (Weston Price) was mainly MK4. I believe that the reason it does not last long in the blood is because the body quickly uses it and puts it to good use. I've read others say that and it just makes sense. I have first hand proof of the importance of MK4. I used to take the Vitacost formula that had MK4 and MK7 for a few years. Had 2 cavities re-mineralize. Along with support nutrients D3, Magnesium, boron, etc. Then sometime back I bought the one with only MK7 thinking all along that the MK7 was superior due to the long half life and all the praise it gets. Well low and behold one of my cavities started showing again and became sensitive. I got back on the combo MK7,MK4 and the re-mineralizing process started again. I feel like shouting this info to everyone I meet but I don't. What do I know? I don't have a degree in medicine. Tired of plaque forming on your teeth? Take MK4 and it will rid plaque from your teeth. Do a Google search on this and you will find plenty of other accounts of this. Think about it? It takes plaque/calcium out of areas you don't want it (elastin of skin, joints, arteries, teeth plaque) and puts it in areas you DO want ( bones, teeth). Much is still not known about the true power of K2.

I consume raw milk/butter which has a lot of K2 in it and is beneficial for bone remineralization whereas I have read unpastuerised milk is not. I actually take a product 'TrueOsteo' which contains K2, mag, Cal, D3 among others.

Thanks for posting this informative post. I went to Amazon and ordered a Vitamin K supplement. Cant remember the name of it but it was highly recommended by posted reviews.I had thought of myself as pretty well informed on nutritional health but must admit I never really read much about vitamin K. Thanks again!

I took K2 with MK4 and MK7 for years but ran out and didn't bother to reorder. Thanks for reminding me. Vitacost.com has good prices.
